There are three ways to measure volume. If you are measuring a liquid, you need a graduated cyliner. If you are measuring the volume of a regular solid, you need a ruler to measure length, width, and height. You would then use the formula V=LxWxH. The third way to measure volume is to use displacement to find the volume of an irregular solid. You would put a certain amount of water in a graduated cylinder, write the starting amount down. Add the irregular solid to the graduated cylinder. Record the ending amount of liquid and subtract the ending amount minus the starting amount.

You do not need fancy lab equipment.Basically you need to determine two pieces of information1) The mass of the "irregular" shape (use a scale)2) The volume of the shape (use water displacement in a bucket/tub to find volume)Take the mass / volume and you have density.

In a classroom, students should not need to use any laboratory safety equipment. Lab safety equipment such as splash goggles, full foot covering, lab coat, etc., should be used when students are in a teaching laboratory.

A graduated cylinder is commonly used to measure liquid volume accurately. It has markings along its side that indicate the volume of liquid it contains.
A graduated cylinder would be the appropriate lab equipment to find the volume of a small stone through water displacement method. Fill the graduated cylinder with water, measure the initial volume, add the stone and record the new volume to calculate the stone's volume.
A graduated cylinder is commonly used to measure liquid volume in milliliters accurately. The markings on the cylinder allow for precise measurement of the volume of liquid.
To measure the solid volume of an irregular object, you can use a graduated cylinder filled with water. By submerging the irregular object in the water, you can measure the change in water level, which corresponds to the object's volume. Alternatively, you could use a displacement method with a volumetric flask or a beaker, ensuring that the object is fully submerged for an accurate measurement.
