: The '''volume''' of a [[liquid]] can be found by pouring it into a [[Measuring Cylinder|measuring cylinder]].
: The '''volume''' of an [[Irregular Solid|irregular solid]] can be found by pouring [[water]] into a [[Measuring Cylinder|measuring cylinder]] to a known '''volume''' then placing the [[Irregular Solid|irregular solid]] into the [[Measuring Cylinder|measuring cylinder]], making sure it sinks. The [[water]] level will increase. This increase is the same as the '''volume''' of the [[Irregular Solid|irregular solid]].
: The [[SI Unit]] of '''volume''' is the [[Metres Cubed|metre cubed]].
: There are several common [[unit]]s for [[Measure|measuring]] '''volume''':
*[[Metres Cubed]] - Used for '''volumes''' the size of a room or bigger.
*[[Decimetres Cubed]] - Used for the '''volume''' of [[gas]]es produced in a [[Chemical Reaction|chemical reaction]]. 1 [[mol]] of [[gas]] is 24dm<sup>3</sup> at [[STP|standard temperature and pressure]].
*[[Centimetres Cubed]] - Used for small quantities of [[liquid]].
*[[Litre]]s - Used on drinks bottles.
