===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 [[multiplication|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.
: [[Centimetres Cubed]] and [[Millilitre]]s are the same '''volume'''.
==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Volume''' is the amount of space an [[object]] takes up.

: 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.
: 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.
*[[Millilitre]]s - Used for small quantities of [[liquid]].
: [[Centimetres Cubed]] and [[Millilitre]]s are the same '''volume'''.
