Displacement is the amount of liquid that is displaced is equal to the volume of the object.
Displacement is used for irregular solids.
72.5 ml -70ml= 2.5 cm 3

Final volume ml - initial volume ml = volume of solid cm

(me) measured value- actual value/ actual value x 100= ?%

Show What You Know Precision in Measurement = Success Day II

Objective: To model precision in measurement when obtaining data to solve each of the 3 dilemmas.

Day II Documentation of Procedural Steps for Dilemma 3

Dilemma 3: 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 busting at the seams, youd only have 45 cm left of space to fit the two
3

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?
