LESSON 4 Units of Volume
Nicholas wants to measure the volume of a lemon. He has a 250-cc graduated cylinder, but he knows the lemon will not fit in it. Mrs. Dewey gave him a marker and a large, clear pitcher. She said, "You can find the volume with these."
- Work with a partner to find a way for Nicholas to measure the volume of the lemon. You can use words or pictures.
- Nicholas put water in the graduated cylinder until it reached the 250-cc mark. He emptied the water into the pitcher. He wrote the measurement on the pitcher. He did this four times until the pitcher was full.
- What is the volume of the pitcher in liters?
- What is the volume of the pitcher in cubic centimeters?
