Which circumstances could be sources of error within the experiment? Check all that apply

not fully submerging the object when doing the fluid displacement procedure

water that is left behind in the collection container when it is transferred for measurement

water that soaks into the materials of the balls, affecting the mass in repeated trials

the time of day when the measurements are recorded

water in the bucket, approximated to the closest 10 mL due to surface tension at the top of the bucket

the air pressure in the room and its affect on the scales that measure the mass of each object
