Graduated Cylinders

Chapter 3 Lesson 1

Mass and Volume

We measure volume using a GRADUATED CYLINDER

What does that look like?

We measure the Meniscus

The downward curve of the liquid in the graduated cylinder

Visible if we are on eye-level with the graduated cylinder

Volume displacement method

The initial water level (in mL) subtracted from the new water level with the added object.
