You can measure the volume of an object. By putting some water in a container with graduation marks, taking a measurement of the volume of water, then placing the object in the water so that it is totally submerged in the water, then measuring the new volume level. The difference between the new volume and original volume will be the amount of water that the object displaces (or the object's volume).
