===About Volume===
: The '''volume''' of a [[Regular Solid|regular solid]] like a cuboid can be found by using a [[ruler]] to [[measure]] the [[length]], [[width]] and [[height]] of an [[object]] then multiply those numbers together.
: 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]].
: There are several common [[unit]]s for [[Measure|measuring]] '''volume''':
*[[Metres Cubed]] - Used for '''volumes''' the size of a room or bigger.

: The [[SI Unit]] of '''volume''' is the [[Metres Cubed|metre cubed]].
: '''Volume''' is a [[scalar]] quantity as it has [[magnitude]] but does not have a direction.
