Children's Approaches to the Concept of Volume.
Potari, Despina; Spiliotopoulou, Vassiliki
Science Education, v80 n3 p341-60 Jun 1996
Explores 11-year-old children's approaches to the concept of volume using 6 tasks that were developed to identify commonalities in children's responses. Results suggest that children hold and use different conceptions, in their effort to explain and compare aspects of volume, which fall in certain categories which were met in almost all the tasks.
