Part 2: Water Displacement

Step 1: Define Displacement

Use the dictionary to find the definition of displacement. Record it here:

_____________________________________________________________________

_______________________

Step 2: Gather materials

100 mL graduated cylinder

Water

3 marbles

Step 3: Experimental Procedure

1. Add 20 mL of water to the 100 mL graduated cylinder. Record this amount in

your table.

2. Add three marbles to the graduated cylinder and measure the volume. Record

this amount in your table.

3. Find the difference between the 2 volumes and record in the chart. The

difference between the 2 measurements will be the volume of the marbles.
