Measuring Liquid Volume
2.
Paul’s water polo practice just ended. To refuel, he drank some water. The picture of the amount of water is listed above in milliliters. How many milliliters of water did he drink
Step 1: Read the cylinder. The
blue substance
represents water and it
goes up until 10
milliliters.
Step 2: Because it goes up to 10,
no more, no less, we know
the amount of water is 10
milliliters.
Step 3: Paul drank 10 milliliters of
water.
Draw 2 cylinders with different amounts of water. Identify how much water is in each while mentioning the unit of water.
Example:
Gloria’s golf tournament ended and she is drinking water now. The amount of water she is drinking is shown in milliliters to the left. How much water is she drinking?
