Displacement: Displacement is obtaining the volume of solid objects based on the amount
of water that is displaced when the object is fully submerged.

Objective: To use the process of displacement to obtain the data necessary to solve the
dilemma while modeling precision [and the lack of] in measurement.

Notes:
1000ml
1 cm3 = 1 cm cubed
Initial Volume= 70mL
Final Volume= 72.5 mL
72.5ml-70ml=2.5cm3
Dilemma: Preparation is Key
Percent of Error= How close or how far from the actual value (accuracy)
% of error= [me] measured value - actual value/ actual value
X100 =l ? l% *record to the nearest hundredth*

Youre running out the door to catch the bus on the first day of school. You realize that
you dont have a dark blue marker and a light blue marker, two mandatory items on the
supplies list you got over the summer. Not wanting to miss the bus, but also not wanting
to go unprepared on the very first day, you wish you could freeze this moment in time, so
you could grab the two markers, but which two markers would you grab? With your bag
bursting at the seams, youd only have 45 cm3 left of space to fit the two markers in. Just
like that, everything around you stops, and you realize that your wildest freeze frame
moment is now quick which marker combinations could you fit?
