When you look at a graduated cylinder anywhere above eye level with the surface of the liquid, it distorts the view and the number (tick mark) you identify as the volume will not be accurate.
Water is more dense than ice. That's why ice floats in water. As the ice melts, the water level rises, but it never gets as high as the highest peak of the floating ice was.
The height of the water will rise a level equal to the volume of the rock.
Even though a liquid can change shape to fit in to a square, circular, rectagular or evenÊaÊflatÊcontainer, Liquid still retains its volume. Liquids always have a definate volume but they can always change shape.
Water displacement can accurately find the volume of substances as it represents the same amount of space or volume. An object placed into the water will displace the same amount of water volume as its own volume.

Fill a graduated container with enough water to completely submerge the spoon.Record the water level.Submerge the spoon in the water.Record the water level again.Subtract the 1st water level from the 2nd water level; the difference is the volume of the spoon.
Volume = (height)(base)(depth)cube = all equal sideswater level = water volume + volume of cubes
The water level of the container will rise, and the total volume increases. But the volume of the water itself remains the same.
One way to measure volume of a material is the following: Put the material in a waterproof container, e.g. a tub. Submerge the material in water, register the water level, take the material out and measure what volume of water you need to add to the tub in order to make the water rise to the level it was with the material in. The volume of water you've added equals the volume of the material.
pebble has volume so water rises equal to volume of pebble
you multiply length x width x height or pour water into container and measure the height, put object in water and measure the water level subtract the water level before and after and that will be your volume
One way is through displacement.If you had a large tank which you knew the volume of, and filled it partially with water, measured the water level, and then got in, remeasured the water level when you were completely submerged, and then calculated the difference, that would give you the volume of your body.
Fill a cylindrical pool (a pool with vertical sides) with water and measure the level of water in it. Sumberge the human body and measure the level of water. Volume of body = increase in volume in pool = area of cross section of pool * increase in height of water. The pool need not be cylindrical, but being so makes the calculations simpler.
Note the level of water in the graduated cylinder. Place the rock into the water carefully. Note the higher level to which the water rises. The difference between the old level and the new level is the volume displaced by the rock.
Get a liquid volume measuring jug, fill it to a fixed level with water and make a note of the level = level A. Next drop in the solid object and make a note of the new level = level B.Subtract level A from level B and the difference is the volume of the solid object.
