What would you do to measure the volume of a baseball
Fill a jar with water.
Submerge the ball and measure how much water spilled out.

To measure the volume of a baseball, you can use the water displacement method. Here's how you can do it:
1. Fill a graduated cylinder or a beaker with water, making sure there is enough volume to fully submerge the baseball.
2. Note the initial water level and record it as the initial volume.
3. Gently lower the baseball into the water, ensuring it is completely submerged. Be careful not to splash or spill any water.
4. As the baseball is submerged, the water level will rise. Take note of the new water level and record it as the final volume.
5. The difference between the final and initial volumes gives you the volume of the baseball. This is because the volume of water displaced by the baseball is equal to the volume of the baseball itself.
6. To get an accurate measurement, make sure to take multiple readings and calculate the average volume.
Remember to dry the baseball thoroughly before measuring to avoid any water residue affecting the accuracy of the measurements.
