Exploring Volume in the Real World!
You are going to predict and discover the volume of the inside of the
classroom sink.
Before measuring the volume (the amount of space the object occupies),
PREDICT what the volume might be in cubic inches.
Measure the length, width, and height in cubic inches (using your ruler.)
You must write a description of HOW you found the actual volume, AS
WELL AS use numbers to show how you found the volume.
