This method only works for solids, and obviously if you pour a liquid into another liquid to test it's volume, you will lose the liquid.
First you put a general amount of water into a graduated cylinder, or a cylinder with lines marking the volume. I would recommend using about 10 mmL of water.
Next, drop your solid into the graduated cylinder. Observe what the water line has risen to be. For example, the water line begins at 10 mmL, and after you drop your solid in, it has risen to be 25 mmL. You then subtract the old volume from the new, and the difference is your solid's volume. In the example, you would subtract 10 from 25 to get 15.

It is the displacement method.
What is the method used to find out the volume of an irregular solid?
One method to find the volume of an irregular solid is by using the water displacement method. This involves submerging the solid in a known volume of water and measuring the increase in water level, which corresponds to the volume of the solid.
How do you find the volume of a cork stopper?
By carrying out the water displacement method
What method of measurement is used to find the volume of an irregular solid?
The water displacement method is typically used to find the volume of an irregular solid. The object is submerged in a known amount of water, and the increase in water volume is measured. This increase in volume is equal to the volume of the irregular solid.
How do you find out the density of a coin?
To find out the density of a coin, you would first measure its mass using a scale, and then measure its volume using displacement method or by calculating the volume based on its dimensions. The density of the coin can be calculated by dividing the mass by the volume.
How do you find volume using water displacement?
