Removing 50 mLs

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to teach students how to read measurements on graduated cylinders. Each cylinder is marked with a different scale and contains a colored liquid at varying levels. Students are instructed to imagine removing 50 ml of liquid from each cylinder and then determine what the new reading would be. The worksheet consists of ten cylinders, each with a distinct initial volume of liquid indicated.

The primary aim of this worksheet is to enhance students’ understanding of volume measurement and subtraction in a practical context. It helps students practice reading scales with precision, which is a fundamental skill in science experiments involving liquid measurements. By calculating the new levels after removing a specific volume, students also improve their numerical subtraction skills. The visual and interactive nature of this task aids in reinforcing the concept of volume displacement and measurement.
