Hello,

My science project is asking me to "compose a scientific summary of your method, observations, data, and conclusions" on determining the volume of both regular & irregular objects. They wanted me to answer the 4 questions below in my summary:

1. Why does the first method for determining volume work only for a regular-shaped object?
2. Will the second method for determining volume work for any object or just an odd-shaped one? Why?
3. Is one method of measurement more accurate than the other? Why or why not?
4. Would the displacement method of measurement work for a cube of sugar? What about a cork? Why?

I have my answers to these questions but because my parents aren't really into me physically doing the experiments, i got my answers through Youtube videos & various other websites. (I'm online school, fyi)

I'm just not sure how to include MY method, observations, data, & conclusions in a summary if i got all of it from websites & videos. I want this summary to look like i did the experiment myself rather than obtaining info from the Internet.
Thank you for your help,
Natasha

PS,
1st method of determining volume is using a formula, 2nd method is the DISPLACEMENT method.
