Graduated Cylinder

Graduated cylinders are the tools used to measure liquid volume. Graduated cylinders are tall, thin tubes with evenly spaced measurements labeled up the side. The measurements are in milliliters (mL). You might be familiar with 2-liter bottles of soda. One liter is equal to 1,000 mL, so a 2-liter bottle of soda has 2,000 mL!

Meniscus

When a liquid is poured into a graduated cylinder, a little bit of the liquid sticks to the sides and forms a curve. This curve is called a meniscus. When taking the measurement of a liquid, make sure to measure at the bottom of the meniscus.
