1. Volume Volume is the amount of space an object takes up.
The base unit of volume in the metric system in the liter and is represented by L or l.
Metric Units
1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL)
1 milliliter (mL) = 1 cm3 = 1 gram*

2. Measuring Liquid Volume
To measure volume, use a graduated cylinder.
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 67

3. Liquid Volume: Meniscus
What causes the meniscus?
A concave meniscus occurs when the molecules of the liquid attract those of the container. The glass attracts the water on the sides.
