Meniscus and Liquid Measurement Quiz

The meniscus is the curved upper surface of a liquid caused by surface tension. In a measuring cylinder, this surface can curve up or down, but the surface of water curves downwards.

A 1 litre cylinder is too large for measuring small volumes accurately. Using a 10 cm3 cylinder would provide a more precise measurement.

Partially fill a measuring cylinder with water, note the volume, then immerse the object in the water. The increase in water level is equal to the volume of the object.
