1. Volume

2. Volume- the amount of space that an object (liquid or solid) takes up.
The volume of a solid with straight sides can be measured in cubic centimeters. The formula for volume is:
v= length x width x height
The volume of a liquid is often measured in liters (L, mL, cL).
1mL= 1 cubic centimeter or
1mL = 1cm3

3. I. Volume of Liquids
A.) When measuring the volume of a liquid, scientists use a unit known as the __________.
liter (L)
B.) To measure the volume of smaller amounts of liquids, the ______________ is used.
milliliter (mL)
C.) The instrument used to measure the volume of liquids is called the _________________.
graduated cylinder

4. Read the milliliter marking at the bottom of the curve
D.) meniscus- the curve at the surface of a liquid in a graduated cylinder
Read the milliliter marking at the bottom of the curve
meniscus

5. Using a Graduated Cylinders
Reading a Graduated Cylinder (1:57)
How to Read a Graduated Cylinder (2:03)

6. Questions Based on Notes & Video
What instrument is used to find the volume of a liquid? ______________
When reading a graduated cylinder, read the bottom of the ________________
Graduated cylinders are used to measure volume of a _________________
You place a graduated cylinder on a _______ surface in order to get an accurate measurement.
The unit that you use to measure volume is _______________
Graduated Cylinder
Meniscus
Liquid
Flat
milliliters or mL

7. Steps on How to Calculate the Scale
Subtract two neighboring numbers.
Count how many lines are between the two neighboring numbers, including the top neighboring number.
Divide that number into your difference.

8. Finding the Scale of Different Graduated Cylinders
The graduations are worth________
5mL
The graduations are worth________
1mL

9. III. Volume of Irregular Solids
A.) Water Displacement Method
To measure the volume of an irregular solid, immerse the object in water, and measure how much the water level rises.

10. B.) How it works:
1. Record the volume of water in the graduated cylinder.
2. Carefully place the irregular solid into the water. Record the new volume of the water.
3. Subtract the volume of the water alone from the volume of the water plus the object.
