Sure! Let’s solve the “Reading Graduated Cylinder” worksheet step by step. The goal is to read the volume of liquid in each graduated cylinder by looking at the
bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid). We’ll determine the scale and then read the value accurately.

🔍 General Tips for Reading Graduated Cylinders:
- Always read from the
bottom of the meniscus.
- Look at the
scale markings — find the value of each small tick mark.
- Some cylinders are marked in 10s, 5s, or even 1s — count carefully!

✔ Solutions:
---
1) First Cylinder (Top Left)
- Scale: 0 to 500 mL, major marks every 100 mL, minor ticks every 20 mL (since 100 ÷ 5 = 20).
- Liquid level: Between 400 and 500 → exactly at 400 + 20 =
420 mL
✔ Answer: 420 mL
---
2) Second Cylinder
- Scale: 0 to 25 mL, major marks every 5 mL, minor ticks every 1 mL.
- Liquid level: Just above 5 mL → at
6 mL
✔ Answer: 6 mL
---
3) Third Cylinder
- Scale: 0 to 500 mL, major marks every 100 mL, minor ticks every 20 mL.
- Liquid level: At 400 mL exactly.
✔ Answer: 400 mL
---
4) Fourth Cylinder
- Scale: 0 to 50 mL, major marks every 10 mL, minor ticks every 2 mL.
- Liquid level: Between 30 and 40 → 30 + 8 =
38 mL
✔ Answer: 38 mL
---
5) Fifth Cylinder
- Scale: 0 to 100 mL, major marks every 20 mL, minor ticks every 4 mL? Wait — actually, between 20 and 40 there are 5 small ticks → so each tick = 4 mL? Let’s check again.
Actually, from 0 to 20: 5 small ticks → 20 ÷ 5 = 4 mL per tick.
Liquid level: Just above 20 → 20 + 4 =
24 mL
✔ Answer: 24 mL
---
6) Sixth Cylinder
- Scale: 0 to 500 mL, major marks every 100 mL, minor ticks every 20 mL.
- Liquid level: Exactly at 300 mL.
✔ Answer: 300 mL
---
7) Seventh Cylinder
- Scale: 0 to 100 mL, major marks every 20 mL, minor ticks every 4 mL? Wait — between 20 and 40: 5 ticks → 20 ÷ 5 = 4 mL per tick.
Liquid level: Just below 80 → 80 - 4 =
76 mL
Wait — let’s double-check: from 60 to 80 is 20 mL, with 5 small ticks → each tick = 4 mL. The liquid is at the 4th tick above 60 → 60 + 16 =
76 mL
✔ Answer: 76 mL
---
8) Eighth Cylinder
- Scale: 0 to 50 mL, major marks every 10 mL, minor ticks every 2 mL.
- Liquid level: Between 40 and 50 → 40 + 8 =
48 mL
✔ Answer: 48 mL
---
9) Ninth Cylinder
- Scale: 0 to 500 mL, major marks every 100 mL, minor ticks every 20 mL.
- Liquid level: Between 300 and 400 → exactly halfway? No — it’s at 300 + 20 =
320 mL
✔ Answer: 320 mL
---
10) Tenth Cylinder
- Scale: 0 to 25 mL, major marks every 5 mL, minor ticks every 1 mL.
- Liquid level: Between 15 and 20 → at 18 mL (3 ticks above 15).
✔ Answer: 18 mL
