You can find the volume of a small rock in no time at all. Just fill up a container that is marked by volume with water and record the volume. Then drop the small rock inside the container. Record the new volume. Find the difference between the new and old volumes. This is the volume of the small rock. You could do this in any liquid.

Partially fill the cylinder and mark the level to the water. Gently immerse the rock completely and measure the new volume. The difference between the two volumes is the volume of the rock.

You note the increase in volume when a rock is placed in a measuring cylinder containing an initial volume of water.

A beaker contains table salt dissolved in water describe one method a student could use to separate salt?
If a saline solution (dissolved salt in water) is gently heated, the water will evaporate, leaving salt crystals behind.
What 2 ways could you find out a volume of a brick?
Submersion method: fill a container and mark its volume. Place the brick in the water. Measure the new level. Calculate the volume difference from before and after. Dimension-measuring method: measure the length, width and depth of the brick, Multiply them together.
What volume of acetylene measured at standard conditions could be obtained from 10 grams of calcium carbide?
The volume of acetylene is 3,7 L.
How do you solve chemistry stoichiometry?
Depends, proportional factor could be a method.
Which scientific method could be used to predict the properties of an element?
Periodic table
How could you measure the volume of granulated sugar?
Use the water displacement method
What could you measure using a measuring cylinder?
Volume of liquids. You could also use it to measure the volume of small solids using the displacement-of-fluid method.

What should a student use to describe a car motion?
A: A cars motion could be described as a people carrying unit that overcomes its standing weight, to propel its self forward. A motorcar uses an internal engine to do this by transmitting power from the motor to the wheels, pushing the car forward or backwards.
How would you determined the volume of the rock?
For complex shapes finding the volume is quite difficult. You could do it one of three ways: Simplify the rock's shape, say as a sphere, then use 4/3(pi)(radius^3) to find the volume. Or you could integrate the surface area. I suggest you look up how to do this, since it cannot be easy taught. If you are looking for a simple answer, stick with the first method. Another method is, if you know the density of the rock you can weigh it and find the volume using: mass/density = volume
Could the water displacement method be used to determine the volume of a regular shaped object as well as an irregular shaped object?
Yes
How can an innovative invention lighten a student burden at school and at home?

Do you use cubic centimeters to measure volume?
Yes, Cubic Centimeters or (cc) is one way of measuring volume. However it isn't the only means of measuring volume. You could conceivably measure volume in terms of any unit used to describe linear distance (i.e.inch,meters,millimeters....)
What word is used to describe the amount of space matter takes up?
The other way of saying this is "what is the volume occupied by the substance".
A list of words describing a good student?
Diligent, motivated, inquisitive, attentive, responsible.
