General science experiment : determining volume results

this is the answer i gave and got a 95%

Explanation:

1. It depends what type of method your using. If it is Height * Width * Length then it will not work for irregular shaped objects because, it has extra pieces that wouldn't be there.

2. The second method would work for regular and irregular shapes because, you would have to find out the volume of the regular shape to get the volume for the irregular shape.

3. It depends on what your doing, if your doing a regular shape then use the first method, if it's an irregular shape then use the second method, if you do the math correctly both should give you an accurate answer for what you would like to achieve.

4. No, because the sugar would dissolve.

5.  Not in this case the displacement tactic wasn't going to work becuase of weight
