Lesson 9

Measuring Volume of Solid Objects

Est. Class Sessions: 2–3

Have a few students share their measurement results.

As each student shares, ask questions such as:

What object did you measure?
What was the object's estimated volume?
What was the actual volume?
How close was the estimate to the actual volume?
Why do you think your estimate is not exactly the same as the actual volume?
Were some of your estimates closer than others? Why do you think this is so?
