Volume Units Lab



            We did this experiment to find out if cm^3 and mL are the same thing. Our evidence showed that the volume in cm^3 and mL are very similar. After comparing and talking it over with the class, I think that 1 cm^3= 1 mL even though our evidence doesn't show this exactly.

            For the experiment we had to measure the volume of 6 different shapes using cm^3 and mL. My partner and I's equation was  Y=0.8965(mL/cm^3)V+ 0.


I think we had some errors and that is why our slope isn't exactly 1. We could have spilled some water or been a little off on our ruler measurements, when experimenting it's impossible to be correct. Our y-intercept is 0 which means that if one variable is 0, the others variable have to be 0 also. If our equation was Y=1(mL/cm^3)V+ 0 (we are very close) this would create the best-fit line on our graph. In conclusion,  I think volume in cm^3 and volume in mL have the same value.
