Students learn techniques for reading a graduated cylinder properly then read and compare quantities from eight graduated cylinders filled with various amounts of water.

Content in this Lesson

  • Using and applying place value concepts and comparative language to compare and order volumes (e.g., greater, least, greater than, less than) [E2].
  • Solving addition and subtraction word problems (e.g., part-whole, join, compare) involving volume [E3].
  • Reading and interpreting a variety of scales (e.g., graduated cylinder, thermometer) calibrated by twos, fives, and tens [E4].
  • Use a table and bar graph to solve problems about a data set [E8].
  • Using labels to show what number mean [MPE6].

8 graduated cylinders (100 cc). See Materials Preparation.
eyedropper
masking tape or self-adhesive notes
water
centimeter connecting cube
centimeter ruler
chart paper
food coloring, optional

Materials Preparation

Prepare Graduated Cylinders. Make a label for each of the eight graduated cylinders using masking tape or self-adhesive notes and the letters A–H. Fill each cylinder with a different volume of water. For example: Fill A with 90 cc, B with 46 cc, C with 30 cc, D with 52 cc, E with 85 cc, F with 69 cc, G with 17 cc, and H with 98 cc. Display the cylinders at various stations around the room to prevent students from crowding one another.

TIMS Tip

To accurately fill each cylinder, use an eyedropper to add the last few drops of water. Add food coloring to the water to make the water level easier to read.
