Things to remember:
●Any matter occupies space.
Two objects cannot occupy
the same space at the same
time.
@
D I S C U S S I O N
18.
● An objectmust move before
another object can occupy
that space.
● The amount or capacity of
space that an object or shape
occupies is called a volume.

Volume (V) isthe three-
dimensional quantity a
material occupies, often
measured in cubic meters (m3)
or cubic centimeters (cm3).
The superscript '3' in the unit
means it is measured in three
dimensions.
@
D I S C U S S I O N
28.
For example, thevolume of a
cube is calculated as length
times width times height.
@
D I S C U S S I O N
29.
● Liter (L)is often used as a unit
of volume particularly for liquid,
too.
1 liter(L) = 1000 cubic
centimeters (cm3)
@
D I S C U S S I O N
30.
A cubic centimeter(cm3) is
equal to one milliliter thus:
1 cubic centimeter (cm3)
= 1 milliliter (mL)
@
D I S C U S S I O N
31.
So:
1 liter(L) =1000 cubic
centimeters (cm3) = 1000
milliliters (mL)
@
D I S C U S S I O N
32.
● Milliliter (mL)is also used for
measuring small amounts of
liquid;
1 milliliter (mL) = 1 cubic
centimeter (cm3) = 0.001 liters (L)

“How do weproperly
read the volume of a
material using a
graduated cylinder?”
@
D I S C U S S I O N
53.
Answer: Since the
graduatedcylinder
already has a scale
indicated by the lines, it
would be easy to read
the volume of the liquid.
@
M O T I VAT I O N
@
D I S C U S S I O N
54.
First, you needto identify
where the meniscus is.
The meniscus is at the
top part of the liquid
which appears to be
curved.
@
M O T I VAT I O N
@
D I S C U S S I O N

For transparent liquids,
thereseems to be two
parts of the meniscus.
The upper (top part of
the curve) and the lower
(bottom part of the
curve).
