1. Aim: How can the metric system be used to measure cubic volume? Do Now: Write the formula for area. What is the area of a square that has the following measurements? Length = 10 cm Width = 5 cm

2. What is volume? Volume is the amount of space an object takes up.

3. Two Types of Volume Cubic Volume Measures boxes. Can be calculated using a formula. Liquid Volume Measures liquids and irregular objects. Cannot be calculated using a formula.

4. The Cubic Formula Volume = Length x Width x Height Example:

5. Some Practice Problems What is the volume if… 1.Length = 4m, Width =3m, and height =2m? 2. Length = 2.5cm, Width =1cm, and Height = 2cm? 3. Length = 25mm, Width = 20mm, and height = 10mm?

6. Activity Use your knowledge of volume and a calculator to help you answer the questions on the worksheet you were given.
