how do you measure the volume of fire - a big fire? or a small fire in a match stick?

I don't think that fire would properly have a volume since it is a form of energy. Energy is measured differently than physical mass, usually by intesity of energy present. Fire is measured by it's intensity of heat and combustion.

Get a glowing splint (piece of wood that is still burning out). \n\nPlace near the oxygen and it will glow brighter as it uses the oxygen to burn more.\n\nPlace near the hydrogen and you will hear a 'pop' sound. \n\nHope that helps! :)

Inside or outside volume?\n\nInside:  Can't use Fluid => Gas or liquid.  Use solid like sand to fill the vase.  Takeout the sand and measure the volume either by weight/density or use another standard measuring device.\n\nOutside: Trace the curve, find out how many continuous sections are there that are connected at discontinuous boundaries, find volumes of each (use cylinder or cone volume formula) and add up the volumes.

Measurements (In distance I'm assuming) would give you volume.\n\nMass / Volume = Density\n\nIf you have volume & density, you can rewrite the equation:\n\nMass = Volume * Density

"Wood is a complex physical and chemical structure. Its overall elemental composition by mass is about 49% carbon, 6% hydrogen, and 0.2% nitrogen; the remaining elements and their amounts and forms vary considerably from one species of tree to another."  From the Source.\n\nThey want you to say that it is because oxygen is consumed when the match burns.  However, that is wrong.  When the match burns, C and H in the wood is burned to make CO2 and H2O.  CO2 is a gas with the same volume as the O2 from which it was created.  H2O is a gas with TWICE the volume as the O2 from which it was created.  However, the H2O condenses to a liquid that has negligible volume, hence, there is a volume loss.  Notice, though, that wood is only 6% H.  That means that the volume loss due to the creation of H2O is very small.\n\nAlmost all of the volume change occurs because you trap heated air when you put the glass over the burning match.  When the air cools, it contracts.\n\nYou can test this for yourself by rigging a glass with a snuffer inside.  Rig it so that when you put the glass over the match the candle is snuffed out.  Thus, no O2 in the glass is consumed.  The water level will rise as in the case without the snuffer.\n\n(Don't blow out the match then put the glass over it.  This will blow away the heated air that is trapped when you put the glass over a burning match.)

The cord is a unit of dry volume used in the United States to measure firewood. One cord is defined as 128 ft³ (~3.62 m³), corresponding to a woodpile 8 ft wide × 4 ft high of 4 ft-long logs. In the metric system, wood is usually measured in steres or cubic metres: 1 stere = 1 m³ ≈ 0.276 cords.\n\nThe cord is defined by statute in most states. Wood is also sold by the "face cord", which is usually not legally defined, and varies regionally. For example, in one area a pile of wood 8 feet wide × 4 feet high of 16"-long logs may be sold as a "face cord", though its volume is only one-third of a cord. In another region, or even from another vendor, the volume of a face cord may be considerably different.

If you can figure out how to calculate the number of grams of O2 it takes, then you just need to us Pv = nRT to get the volume. I forget the equation for combustion though...need a combustion/engine textbook.

describe how you make a measurement of an unknown volume of liquid.: \nA graduated cylinder (Grad or graduate for short), also referred to as a measuring cylinder, is a type of laboratory glassware comprised of a tall cylinder with a range of calibrated markings that is used for visually measuring the volumes of liquids in a quantitative manner. \n\nNever handle broken glass with your bare hands.  Use a brush and dustpan to clean up broken glass.  Place broken glass in the designated glass disposal container.\n\nTo protect clothing from chemical damage, wear a lab apron or lab coat. Long hair should be tied back to keep it from coming into contact with lab chemicals or flames.  An open flame may be ignited only when no flammable solvents are in the vicinity. The person lighting the flame must check with students in the vicinity to see if they are working with flammable solvents.\n\nTo measure the mass of a solid, you can usually put it directly on the scale.  To measure a liquid, you first should measure the mass of the container then the container and liquid and subtract the mass of the container.

The best way to measure its volume is to get a measuring cylinder with water in, pop the ring in the water (making sure that is is completely covered) and then measuring the change in the water level.\n\nThat will give you the volume of the ring.

1) Measureing the height of ants in order to fit them out in a    tuxedo for the beetles wedding\n2) Disprove that individual atoms can be measured by using a micrometer (the best experiments sometimes don't support a theory but disprove it)\n3) Measuring toilet paper thickness to see if soft and thick is better than thin and strong.\n\nSafety when using a micrometer is paramount. Never, ever put your head inside the jaws of a micrometer unless it is less than the width of the jaws.
