Small and Large Volumes

Worksheet Description

This worksheet depicts a series of ten graduated cylinders, each filled to varying levels with differently colored liquids. Students are tasked with examining each cylinder and determining the volume of liquid contained within, as indicated by the scale on the side of each cylinder. The worksheet is designed to be interactive, with spaces provided for students to write down their measurements in milliliters. This visual representation of the cylinders provides a clear and engaging method for students to practice measurement reading skills.

The worksheet aims to teach students how to accurately read the volume of liquid in graduated cylinders, a fundamental skill in science. It focuses on understanding the scale markings and interpreting where the meniscus, or the curve at the surface of the liquid, falls on this scale. This task reinforces the use of the metric system, particularly milliliters, for measuring volume. Moreover, it instills a sense of precision and careful observation, which are vital in scientific experiments and data collection.
