Air has volume!
1) Air has volume because when a piece of paper is crumpled and placed inside a cup, then submerged completely in water, the paper remains dry. The paper remains dry because air is taking up space in the cup pushing the water out of the cup and up, proving that it has volume. You can also prove it has volume by poking a hole in the top of the cup and re submerging it. This allows the air to be released through the hole and into the room, causing the water to sink into the cup and wet the paper.
2) A potential error that could have affected the experiment is the fact that you can accidentally put too much paper in the cup, causing the paper to be wet when first submerged. this would be due to the fact that there would be no place for air to take up space and prevent the paper from getting wet, thus allowing you to conclude the false statement that air does not have volume.
