The direct measurement method involves physically measuring the volume of an object by using instruments such as a ruler, measuring tape, or graduated cylinder. This method provides an accurate measurement of the volume of regular-shaped objects by directly calculating their dimensions.
Liters or gallons would be appropriate units of measurement for measuring the volume of a large pot.
Measuring volume by the difference method involves measuring the volume of water displaced when an object is submerged in a known volume of water. This method is suitable for irregularly shaped objects. On the other hand, measuring volume using math for odd-shaped objects typically involves mathematical formulas or calculations based on the object's dimensions. While both methods can be accurate, the difference method may be more practical and straightforward for some shapes.
The method of calculating volume is called volumetrics. It involves measuring the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object or substance.
Units of measurement include meters for length, grams for mass, and liters for volume. Tools for measuring objects include rulers for length, scales for mass, and beakers for volume.
Gallons are a measurement of volume, and grams are a measurement of mass (weight), so it would depend on what type of material you measuring.
Indirect volume refers to the process of estimating the volume of an object indirectly, often through calculations based on other measurements or data rather than directly measuring the volume itself. This method is commonly used when direct measurement is not feasible or accurate.
I don't see why measuring the volume of liquids using the Eureka can method. It is an indirect measure -- you displace water or some other fluid to measure a liquid? A direct tool, such as measuring beakers or cylinders with markings, is inexpensive and can measure volume adequately. Eureka cans are more for measuring the volume of solids, especially irregularly-shaped ones. ===================================
Get a measuring jug that will hold the marbles easily. Half fill the measuring jug with water. Note the volume reading on the measuring Jug scale (measurement A). Add the marbles. Note the new water level reading on the measuring jug scale (measurement B).Subtract measurement A from measurement B, the answer is the volume of the marbles.
Liters.

A beaker is a container which can also be used as a measuring device for volume. It is not a unit of measurement.
No, the units are independent of the accuracy. If you are measuring volume, how accurate the measurement is (or isn't) will not affect what you are measuring - it will always be volume.

Only if that volume is contained in a rectangular prism.
direct measurement and displacement
The method used to find the volume of a regular object is typically called the "displacement method" or "calculating volume by measuring dimensions". This involves measuring the length, width, and height of the object and then multiplying these dimensions together to find the volume.
Displacement of water is an indirect measurement because we cannot directly measure the volume of an irregularly shaped object. By measuring the water displaced when the object is submerged, we can indirectly determine the volume of the object based on the volume of water displaced, according to Archimedes' principle.
