A graduated cylinder measures liquid volume in milliliters (mL)
To read a graduated cylinder… • Determine the scale …What volume does each line represent? • Get eye level with the surface of the liquid • Read the volume at the bottom of the meniscus (curved surface of the liquid) 6.6 mL
What is the volume in each cylinder below? 52.8 mL 1. 11.5 mL 2.
Since no two things can occupy the same space at the same time…How about this?
Volume by Displacement • The amount of water displaced by the object is equal to the volume of the object. • Pretty cool, huh? • But what if the object is too big to fit into your graduated cylinder????
You can use an overflow can… Measure the volume of displaced water by catching the “overflow” in a graduated cylinder
