Measuring: Liquid Volume Write your answers to the questions below in the spaces provide. If you need more space, use the back of this sheet. The volume of an object is the amount of space it takes up. You will often measure the volume of liquids using a graduated cylinder. (“Graduated” means that the cylinder is marked with measurement units.) Always read a graduated cylinder at eye level. Also, water in a graduated cylinder has a curved surfaces called the meniscus. Read the volume at the bottom of the meniscus. Hints: Always check the unnumbered marks on a graduated cylinder to see how many sections there are and what they measure. Also, sometimes you have to estimate a measurement between two marks. Prove to yourself that both graduated cylinders on the right contain 25 mL. What is the volume of the liquid shown in graduated cylinders 1-4 below? What is the total volume in graduated cylinder 5? 6. If the diagrams for questions 4 and 5 show the same graduated cylinder before and after the rock was added, what can you infer about the volume of the rock? ______________________________________________________________________________ 7.
