This resource provides an overview of volume and meniscus, essential concepts in measuring liquids. Volume refers to the quantity of space a substance occupies, commonly measured in liters (L) or milliliters (mL). The meniscus is the curve seen at the surface of a liquid in a container. Accurate volume measurement requires reading the lowest point of the meniscus at eye level. The appearance of the meniscus can vary, appearing either concave or convex, depending on the container's shape. Explore videos for further understanding.

The Relationship Between Volume and Meniscus • Volume can be found when the scale of the lowest part of the meniscus is measured at eye level.
Meniscus • Meniscus may not be visible in a large beaker. • The meniscus appears flat because of the wide container that the liquid is within. • The meniscus can appear concave or convex.
