Claim- My partner and I believe that the volume in cm^3 and the volume in mL is similar in value. They may not be the same type of measurement, but when measuring the same object, there no more or less mass no matter what the measuring device.
Evidence- For our experiment we measured six different shapes' volumes in cm^3 and mL. We think that 1 cm^3= 1 mL. With a y-int less than 5% we used the correct rule and it rounded down to 0. Since the y-int was 0, we now have 0 cm^3=0 mL. For the graph, we used the equation v=1.1(ml/cm^3)*(v)+0. The 0 represents the y-int that was less than 5%. 1.1(mL/cm^3) represents our slope of the graph. In class we explained how we think mL and cm^3 are the same thing, just different equations and ways to get answers.
Reasoning- We are saying that cm^3 and mL are the same, even though our graph line and line of regression are only similar. This may be cause by things like spilling water, or not measuring the correct length of something. Almost all of the class agreed on cm^3 and mL being the same thing. The slope, 1.1(mL/cm^3), means that for every mL, there will be 1.1 cm^3, which is causing the graph to increase. The y-int, 0, represents that you don't add anything after finding the correct number. If it's at 0, it means that the mL and the cm^3 are directly related, because there is nothing else to add or measure.
