1. 4th Grade Vocabulary Part 1 Estimating Volume of Solids and Liquids

2. The volume of the liquid in the beaker is 200 mL.
The amount of space that matter takes up
The volume of the liquid in the beaker is 200 mL.

3. This beaker has a capacity of 200 mL.
The maximum volume of a container
This beaker has a capacity of 200 mL.

4. The amount of liquid in a 1 L soda bottle = 1 L
Liter (L)
A metric unit to measure volume
Metric benchmark for volume
1 L = 1000 mL
The amount of liquid in a 1 L soda bottle = 1 L

5. The amount of liquid in a few drops of water = 1 mL
Milliliter (mL)
A metric unit to measure volume
1000 mL = 1 L
The amount of liquid in a few drops of water = 1 mL

6. 28 mL – 21 mL = 7 mL So… the volume of the rock = 7 mL
Displacement
A method for finding the volume of objects with irregular shapes
21 mL
28 mL
28 mL – 21 mL = 7 mL So… the volume of the rock = 7 mL
