What is Volume?
Question : What is the difference between mass and volume?
The volume of an object is the amount of space it takes up.
Units of Volume
Questions : How do we write them? What are the differences between each of them?
We measure volume in 3 ways :• Cubic centimetres• Mililitres• Litres
Measuring Volume
We can measure volume of objects with irregular shape in two ways :
• The volume of the water that flows out• The difference between the volume of
water and the total volume of the water and the object.
Question : Does the volume of an object change when its shape changes?
