Metric Units
Volume is the amount of space an
object takes up.
Base unit of volume in the metric
system = liter (L)
Metric Units
1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL)
1 milliliter (mL) = 1 cm

We will be using graduated cylinders to
find the volume of liquids and other objects.
Read the measurement based on the bottom of the
meniscus or curve. When using a real cylinder, make
sure you are eye-level with the level of the water.
What is the volume of water in the cylinder? _____mL
What causes the meniscus?

Water supplies on board the space station or a spacecraft must be tested frequently to
make sure that they are safe for human use. Measuring the proper amount of liquids
are part of the testing process.
Procedure
1. Measure the amount of liquid in each graduated cylinder below, using the bottom of
the meniscus.
2. Record the measurement on the line below each graduated cylinder, making sure
use one decimal place and label your units in mL.
