Station #1: Volume of Water
Purpose: To observe that not all lab equipment can be used for measurements.
If you want to measure a liquid, graduated cylinders are more useful than
glass bottles.
Data and Observations: Collect measurements:
1) water volume in bottle 2) volume in graduated cylinder

Data collection:
1. “I observe the water level to be at
_____ milli-liters (mL)”
2. “I am not sure, but I guess the
water level is at ____”
3. “Where do I write this down?”
Station #2: Volume Displacement
Purpose: To measure the volume of an object by watching the water level
rise. The change in water volume equals the volume of the object.
Data and Observations: Collect measurements:
1) starting volume 2) final volume

Data collection:
4. “I observe the water level to be
at _____ milli-liters (mL)”
5. “I am not sure, but I guess the
water level is at ____”
6. “Where do I write this down?”
Station #3: Mass and Displacement
Purpose: To measure the mass of an object by watching the weight rise.
The change in mass on the scale equals the mass of the object.
Data and Observations: Collect measurements:
1) starting mass 2) final mass

Data collection:
7. “I observe the mass to be at
_____ kilo-grams (kg)”
8. “I am not sure, but I guess the
mass is at ____”
9. “Where do I write this down?”
Station #4: Volume of a Solid
Purpose: To measure the volume of an object by measuring the sides.
Volume of the object (cm3) = length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm)
Data and Observations: Collect measurements:
1) length 2) width 3) height
