Beaker,

A beaker does not measure as precisely as a graduated cylinder or pipet. It should be used for approximate measure of liquid volume only.

Page 6: Units of Measure Mini-Math Camp. Scientists across the world use the International System of Units (SI)

When reading the volume of liquid in a graduated cylinder or pipet, you always take the reading at the bottom of the meniscus.

The meniscus is the curved surface of the liquid.

To find the volume of an irregularly shaped object, you should:

1. Partially fill a graduated cylinder with water.

2. Record the volume.

3. Place the object in the cylinder.

4. Record the volume.

5. Subtract the initial volume from the final volume to get the volume of the object.

(initial level)

The pipet is graduated and the most precise.

A test tube is not used for measuring.

A beaker is graduated but not very precise.

The Florence flask is not graduated.
