Volume Units

Our group had decided that the mass and volume would've been equivalent, had we not had an imperfect experiment. There was still water left in our containers, and we had no way to measure that. This made our volume above our mass by 1 unit each time we measured, which makes us think there's about 1 ml of water left in the beaker each time that doesn't get dumped out. This is why our claim is that it would've been even, had the water not been left there, and that water's mass is equal to the water's volume. Our graph also showed that the slope was very close to one (1.005) and if it had been rounded to the nearest tenth, it would've been one.
