Grade 4 students are continuing their investigations around the metric system in science class. Today they were introduced to graduated cylinders and learned how volume should be read from the bottom of the meniscus. They made predictions on how many drops of water it would take to make a millimeter of water. They also practiced important lab procedures for when we use graduated cylinders, beakers, and how to clean up the inevitable spills. Only three spills today... this is why we practice with water! Tomorrow the students will learn how to find the volume of an object using displacement and complete their volume lab.
