In this game, teams of students compete against each other to predict the volume of all the marbles in a graduated cylinder as one to four marbles are added to their cylinders. The winner is the team with the highest score after each team has added a total of 20 cc of marbles.
This game prepares students for the lab in Lesson 3 Volume vs. Number. It provides practice measuring volume by displacement and also provides the context for the data collection and predictions students will make in the lab.
