What is the Amount

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features ten graduated cylinders, each with a distinct level of liquid in varying colors, and a scale marked alongside. The students’ task is to read the scale next to each cylinder and write down the corresponding volume of liquid in milliliters (mL). Each cylinder is numbered for easy reference, and blank lines are provided next to each for students to record their answers. The variety of colors used for the liquids serves to visually separate each measurement task.

The educational goal of this worksheet is to enhance students’ proficiency in reading liquid volumes from graduated cylinders, an essential skill in scientific measurement. It teaches students to identify and interpret the meniscus level against the marked scale accurately. The exercise reinforces the concept of precision in measurement and acquaints students with the metric system, specifically milliliters, which are the standard scientific unit for liquid volume. Additionally, it nurtures attention to detail, which is crucial for conducting experiments and collecting reliable data.
