What measure best describes the amount of water in a water balloon?

I interpret this question to be asking how one might measure the volume of a water balloon without breaking the balloon or emptying it of the water in order to measure its volume.
One method is to fill a container with water that will be large enough to contain the water balloon, and then submerging the water balloon in the container. The volume of the balloon will be the apparent volume change of the water in the container.
Any measurement will introduce some error. Since water compresses hardly at all, one would expect that submerging the balloon would not significantly change the volume of the balloon. There could be some error if one had to push down on the balloon to make it fully submerge. There will also be some measurement error in determining the volume change.

What unit of measure would you use to measure the water in a bath?
1. Fill bath half way 2. Mark the level of the water with a marker pen (line A) 3. Get into the bath 4. Completely submerge yourself into the water, get someone to mark the level of the water with you still completely submerged (line B) 5. Get out of the bath 6. The water level should have gone down back to line A 7. Using a mesuring jug, fill the bath until it has reached line B.. keeping count of the amount of water you've added. 8. The amount of water you added is your body volume :)

Can you measure air pressure in a party balloon?
The air pressure inside the balloon will be slightly higher than outside. This is because the air inside the balloon is slightly compressed by the elasticity of the membrane of the balloon itself. By way of illustration, if you inflate a balloon, don't tie it and just let it go, then to everyones' amusement at parties the balloon flies crazily around the room until it is fully deflated! This fun aspect of balloons occurs as a result of the higher pressure inside the balloon escaping from the balloon to join the air in the room that is at normal pressure. Actually measuring the pressure inside the inflated balloon would require an experiment where the volume of pressurised air in the inflated balloon could be measured by a) measuring the volume of pressurised air inside the balloon by fully immersing the inflated balloon in a measuring receptacle full of water (with normal atmospheric pressure in the room pressing down on the surface of the water) and, then b) measuring the volume that the pressurised airinside the balloon would occupy once outside the balloon at normal atmospheric air pressure by inverting the measuring receptacle full of water (whilst held in a larger shallow tank of water so as to keep the measuring receptacle full of water once inverted - in the usual physics lab manner) and then release the air from the balloon into inverted water-filled measuring receptacle where it would gather in the top of the same. The difference in the two volumes would directly correlate with the difference in air pressure inside and outside the balloon.
What are apparatus used as in a laboratory to measure small amount of substances e.g. 1ml of water?
to be safety
Would it be more accurate to measure the amount of water that a container can hold by using one measurement with a large graduated cylinder or two measurements with a smaller graduated cylinder?
If you measure properly, the amount of water does not change. Measurement with whatever graduated cylinder you choose will not alter the amount of liquid measured. Most people choose to measure once with a larger one, but if the amount of liquid falls between the measurement lines, you can measure the "leftover" with a smaller cylinder and find the exact answer.
How do you make the perfect water balloon?
to make the perfect water balloon, simply use a regular water balloon rather than a water balloon. regular water balloons can get as big as a human head. the down side is they don't pop easily. you can drop them on the floor and they wont pop.
How can you make a balloon hover like a fish in a tank of fresh water?
Partly blow the balloon up, then add a small amount of weight to the base of the balloon.
What do you measure to use gallons?
the amount of water
What will happen if the warm water would affect the amount of carbon dioxide the yeast performs?
if you put a balloon on the top of the container the balloon will get bigger and bigger
Which is the best measure for the amount of water in a home water heater?

How do you measure how much water is in your pool?
Liters measure the volume of something so to measure the amount of water in the pool you'd use liters
How do you calculate water percentage?
Measure the amount of water: by volume or mass or whatever. Measure the total amount in the same units. Divide the first by the second and then multiply by 100.
What is water clarity?
Water clarity is a measure of the amount of sunlight that can penetrate through the water
What will be easier for a hydrogen balloon to lift 1 kg of water or feathers or steel?
Doesn't matter to the balloon. The amount to be lifted is identical and in this case air resistance is not a factor.
