A beaker of water. Fill the beaker to a certain point, put the fossil in the water and see how many ml the water goes up to. The difference between the original fill line and the fill line after dropping the fossil in is the volume in ml.
A measuring cup
A ruler is used to measure length and does not account for the height or width of an object, which are necessary to calculate its volume. To find the volume of a paperclip, you need to measure its dimensions in three dimensions using a tool such as a caliper or by using a water displacement method.
If you want to measure the length, use a ruler.
Matter isn't really something you can measure. To measure mass, you would use a balance.
This volume can be measured in millilitres.
Which lab tool might you use to measure the volume of a liquid?
A ruler or tape measure.
For the volume you can use a graduated container.
No singe tool will do all four measurements.
You would use a graduated cylinder
Measuring cylinders are commonly used to measure volume, with 1cm3 being the equal to 1ml.
Measuring cylinders are commonly used to measure volume, with 1cm3 being the equal to 1ml.
If you want to measure it's volume, place it in a measuring cylinder containing a certain amount of water, and measure the extra units to get the volume of the object
you would use a scale to measure the mass and a beaker to measure the volume. i need another tool
Measure the container itself, or measure the mass of the liquid and the container and find the density of that certain liquid has and isolate for the volume.
A measuring cup
A ruler or tape measure would be the best tool. You cannot measure the volume directly. First, measure the length, width and height with the ruler and use the formula of volume of cubiod (L x W x H)
