Measuring Volume
Content Area: MathematicsGrade Level: 3rd Grade
Summary: The purpose of this instructional PowerPoint is to give students the opportunity to practice measuring volume.
Learning Objective: Given various graduated cylinders, the students will be able to measure the water inside with 100% accuracy.
Content Standard: Solve problems involving measurement and estimation.
Accomplishment: Create an understanding of measuring volume.
Important Vocabulary
Volume: the amount of space an object takes up
Graduated cylinder: a tall, narrow container that is used to measure volume
Meniscus: the curved surface of liquid in a container
Milliliter: a unit of volume equal to one-thousandth of a liter.
Rules for Measuring Volume in a Graduated Cylinder
1. Place your graduated cylinder on a flat surface.
2. Get at eye-level with the graduated cylinder.
3.Read the bottom of the meniscus.DO NOT READ THE TOP OF THE WATER!!!
YOUR MEASUREMENT WILL BE WRONG!Lastly, include your unit. The unit for all
these problems will be milliliters (mL).
Example
There are 5 lines between each interval. This means that each line means 2.
The meniscus is at the 4th line between 30 and 40.
The volume of this water is 38mL
Problem 1 !
Hint: The lines only represent 1 this time.
A) 21.5mLB) 23mLC) 17mL
Correct !
21.5 mL is correct. Good Job !
Problem 2 !
A) 26mLB) 21mLC) 24mL
Correct !
24 mL is correct. Keep up the good work!
Vocab Review
