ml ml ) Measure the volume of liquid in a graduated cylinder. – make sure you read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus 3 m l

2) Add the solid object. The water in the graduated cylinder rises as it gets pushed out of the way (displaced) by the solid object. 3 m l ml ml

3) Measure the new volume of liquid. 3 m l 6 m l ml ml

4) Subtract the original volume of liquid from the new volume. The volume of water displaced by the solid object is the volume of the object. volume of the object 6 m l – 3 m l = 3 m l 3 m l 6 m l ml ml
