Volume is how much space a object takes up. It is measured with measuring cups, beakers, etc. For liquids, you just put it in a volumetric measuring device such as a graduated cylinder, For the volume of solids that cannot simply be measured with L x W x H which will give you an answer in units of measurement cubed. An individual can measure the displacement volume of a solid (if it is more dense than the liquid) by filling a graduated cylinder with a liquid and putting the solid to be measured in the same cylinder, then subtracting the measurement of the liquid and solid from that of the measurement of just the liquid. Mass is the quantity of mass determined by its weight. You can often use a scale, triple beam balance, etc.

To find the mass of an object, you can use a scale to measure its weight, which is a measure of its mass. To find the volume of an object, you can measure its dimensions (such as length, width, and height) and use the formula for volume based on its shape (e.g. volume of a cube is length x width x height). Alternatively, you can submerge the object in water and measure the displacement to find its volume.

You determine the mass of an object using a balance. For liquid volume, you would use a graduated cylinder. To find the volume of a regular solid, use the appropriate geometric formula. If the solid is irregular, use the water displacement method for finding volume.

To measure mass, you can use an instrument such as triple-beam balance or an electronic balance to measure it (in grams).

To measure volume, you can use a container such as a beaker (make sure it has markings on it that measure the volume in liters or in any of the customary/American units for volume!) to measure the volume of gases/liquids (solids are trickier). They can also be measured in cubic length units (ie. 9 millileters ^3).

Although I'm sure there are methods/instruments to measure density, it is much easier to calculate it by doing: mass of object /(divided by) volume of object.

Mass and volume can messure a few things including Density and Velocity.

In order to find the volume you must first find the mass. The formula for volume is V=M/D, so mass needs to be found first.

You need to measure by measuring the mass first because it is the typical science measuring when you are measuring volume.

Volume: graduated cylinder: mL

Mass: measure container on triple beam balance then measure with liquid inside and subtract mass of container: g
