How would a scientist properly execute the water displacement method in an experiment to find the volume of a small rock?

In: Science Experiments [Edit categories]

Answer:

	Place a rock in a container, add water, and record the volume.		Pour an unknown amount of water into a glass container, add the rock, and note the water level; the unknown amount of water plus the weight of the rock is the volume of the rock.
	Pour a known amount of water into a glass container, add the rock, and note the new water level; the difference in water levels is the volume of the rock.		Water displacement will not work.
