Materials Needed: The box from the last experiment; a ruler that measures centimeters. Procedure: Measure each side of the box in centimeters. Use the formula for the volume of a box shaped object (V = L x W x H ) to calculate the volume of this box in cubic centimeters. What Happened: Each side was 10 cm long. When you plug the numbers into the formula and do the math, you get:
How do scientists measure length volume Mass and density? Length is measured with a ruler, or any kind of object with measurements on it. Volume is measured in two ways: If it's a liquid, it is poured into a container with measureâ¦ments on it.
