Exploring Physical Science

Metric Measurement: Volume and Temperature

Background Information The amount of ace object takes is called its volume. The basic of volume is the liter (L). Smaller volumes are measured milliliers (mL), or /000 of . I he
laboratory, the graduated cylinder is used to meafl.rre h volume of liquids. Tbmperature is measured with thermomeer. The unit of meauremen for temperature is degrees Celsius ('C). this investigation will learn h to accurately measure the volume and temperature of liquid.

Problem
Horv can accurately measure the volume and emperature of liquid?
