Displacement

Objective: To use the process of displacement to obtain the data necessary to solve the dilemma while modeling
precision [and the lack of] in measurement.

Notes:
Irregular
Volume is how much space an object takes up
1,000.cm3=1,000. mL
1cm3= 1mL
A solid cannot be measured in mL!!!
If were to fill up a bathtub all the way it wouldnt work because your body takes up space so therefore the
water would be displaced
Displacement-the process to measure the volume of solid objects based on the amount of water that is
displaced.
Initial volume: 70 mL
Volume of object: the final answer is in centimeters cubed so the answer is 72.5 cm
72.5 ml-70ml=2.5 ml(change to cm) =2.5 cm3
Percent of error(accuracy)
(me)measured value-actual value/actual value*100=%
Record to nearest hundredth
Final answer in bold
If there is a negative than use absolute value to make it positive
Dilemma : Preparation is Key

Youre running out the door to catch the bus on the first day of school. You realize that you dont have a dark blue
marker and a light blue marker, two mandatory items on the supplies list you got over the summer. Not wanting to
miss the bus, but also not wanting to go unprepared on the very first day, you wish you could freeze this moment in
time, so you could grab the two markers, but which two markers would you grab? With your bag bursting at the
seams, youd only have 45 cm3 left of space to fit the two markers in. Just like that, everything around you stops, and
you realize that your wildest freeze frame moment is now quick which marker combinations could you fit?
Measurable Property: volume of irregular shaped solids

Materials: markers, water for measurement
