Finding Volume - The Water Displacement Method

Watch an overview of Lesson 3.2 featuring an activity in which rods of the same mass but different volume are identified based on their density. The water displacement method is used to determine volume and molecular model illustrations show why one plastic is more dense than another. Connections to the NGSS are also highlighted.

Did the guy mention water displacement at all?

Very good video. We can use the same method to verify the purity, or fakeness of a silver coin or bar, and there are many fake silver coins and bars out there these days. Thanks for your video.

Uhg, this is using liters. This doesn't help me at all. We measured in grams! We didn't check water levels at all and every experiment doing this uses water levels!
