by using the displacement method...

1)pour some water into a measuring cylinder and read off the volume..this is the initial reading.
2)weigh your object using a digital balance
3)tie a piece of string onto the object and slowly lower it into the measuring cylinder with water.
4)read off the new level of water in the cylinder..
5)calculate the volume of water displaced : final volume- initial volume.
6)note that volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object.

Water displacement. Here's what you have to do:

Get a graduated cylinder or a measuring cup, if you don't have access to a graduated cylinder. Fill the cylinder/measuring cup with a precise amount of water (for example, 300 mL). Carefully drop the lump of clay into the cylinder/measuring cup. The water level will rise- look where the top of the water is now and write it down (for example, 512 mL). To find the volume of the lump of clay, you simply take the second measurement (after the clay is in there, 512 mL in my example) and subtract the original measurement of water (300 mL in my example). The difference (512-300 = 212 mL) is the volume of the lump of clay.

Good luck!

i might desire to have pronounced this earlier Jack, yet some human beings could be useful (or a minimum of waft that experience outwards) to fulfill the demands of regardless of pastime that's that they persue.

Use a graduated cylinder full of water and measure the change of the volume reading.

Like HearKat said, place the item in a body of water then measure how much water overflows (is displaced).

Put it in water and measure how much the water level changed.

i would find a serenge with CC mesurements and put x amount of water in it and then put the object in it and see how much more the mesurement is thats your answer.
