Displac

Objective: To model precision in measurement when obtaining data to solve the dilemma.

Notes:
Displacement-The process in which water is displaced in the amount of the volume of a given object
1 cm3= 1 mL
Initial volume= 70 mL
Final volume= 72.5 mL
72.5 mL-70 mL=2.5 cm3
Commonly used with irregularly shaped solids
Me (measure-actual value/actual value) times 100= |? percent|

Dilemma : Preparation is Key

Youre running out the door to catch the bus on the first day of school. You realize that you dont have a dark blue
marker and a light blue marker, two mandatory items on the supplies list you got over the summer. Not wanting to
miss the bus, but also not wanting to go unprepared on the very first day, you wish you could freeze this moment in
time, so you could grab the two markers, but which two markers would you grab? With your bag bursting at the
seams, youd only have 45 cm3 left of space to fit the two markers in. Just like that, everything around you stops, and
you realize that your wildest freeze frame moment is now quick which marker combinations could you fit?

Measurable Property: volume of irregular shaped solids

Materials: markers, water for measurement
