Measurements are one of the most important parts of teaching daily mathematics to children. However, to ensure that their concepts remain strong as they get older, you must utilize creative methods for your students to understand. One of the measurement learning outcomes includes measuring liquids. Now, first of all, you must know that there is no definite shape for liquids. So, you can use different containers to solve your problem. For instance, you have 5 bottles of 200 ml each. How many ml of water you have when you’ve filled all your bottles? It’s simple, 5 x 200, hence providing an answer of 1000 ml from all bottles.
Most of the lab work done in the biological sciences focus a great deal on working with liquids and solutions. The common tools used in this type of work are burettes and pipettes which are read very similarly to a graduated cylinder. Your good old volumetric flasks are becoming extinct as new more compact devices are becoming available and they have a lot less of a splash factor. If students are looking to study science in college, this is a very critical skill for them to master. These worksheets explain how to calculate liquid measurements in both Metric and Imperial units. Students will fill out comparative charts, read graduated cylinders, convert between units, and more.
