Volume units lab

    During this lab we were testing whether or not that cm^3 and ml were the same when we measured them. When we tested it they did not come out to be the same, but they didn't because of errors. Some of the errors were not being able to get all the water out of the container shapes, or not measuring right. They should be the same and i will prove it in the graph.
    In this lab we had to measure the volume of each of the shapes we did. We did three shapes and another group did another three shapes, then we shared our results. So when we shared our data the measurements were not the same. We thought they were different because of error. 1 ml should equal 1 cm^3. So this means that the y-int has to be zero when you do the equation. It also makes thing easier. We had someone in the class have a y-int of 11 something. That is saying that you have 11 of something in nothing which is impossible. The equation we can use V(ml) = (1 ml/cm^3)V(cm^3) + 0(ml). They should be exactly the same. 1 cm^3 = 1 ml.
    So in conclusion the measurements should be exactly the same. Even though the data showed that were similar , they weren't exactly the same because of error. I think this is part of how does matter behave. I think that it is part of it because we get to see how measuring cm^3 and ml were the same. So we got to see how they compare and contrast.
