Before starting the Thickness of Aluminum Foil Lab, there were some questions that needed to be answered in order to have full a understanding of the topic. One very important thing in the experiment is measurements, and knowing the difference between a direct and indirect measurement was crucial. A direct measurement is when you measuring the exact object with instruments. A indirect measurement is when you are finding the measurement of something other then the actual object (n.d, 2015).

When determining the volume for a box/cube you would calculate length x width x height. When calculating the
