Activities
- Identify the volume when given images of graduated cylinders filled to various heights.
- Identify the mass when given images of triple beam balances displaying different masses.
- Answer the following questions:
- How many millimeters are in 1 centimeter?
- How many centimeters are in 1 meter?
- How many meters are in 1 kilometer?
- How are centimeters related to kilometers?

- Todd drank 3L of water yesterday. Today he drank 4,800mL of water. On which day did Todd drink more water? How do you know?
- Your teacher wants you to measure 325mL of water. Should you use a beaker or a graduated cylinder? Explain your reasoning.
Answer Key/Rubric
- Answers will vary depending on images of graduated cylinders.
- Answers will vary depending on images displayed on multiple triple beam balances.
- There are 10 millimeters in a centimeter.
- There are 100 centimeters in a meter.
- There are 1,000 meters in a kilometer.
- Acceptable responses may include, but are not limited to:
- There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.
- There are 1,000 meters in 1 kilometer.
- There are 100,000 centimeters in 1 kilometer.
- Acceptable responses may include, but are not limited to:
- Anthony’s classroom is 50m, or 5,000cm, from the office.
- Natalie’s classroom is 5,400cm, or 54m, from the office.
- Natalie’s classroom is farther from the office.
- There are 100 centimeters in one meter.
- You need to multiply the number of centimeters by 100 to calculate the distance in meters.
- You need to divide the number of meters by 100 to calculate the distance in centimeters.
- Acceptable responses may include, but are not limited to:
- Todd drank 3L, or 3,000mL, of water yesterday.
- Todd drank 4,800mL or 4.8L, of water today.
- Todd drank more water today.
- There are 1,000 milliliters in 1 liter.
- You need to multiply the number of milliliters by 1,000 to calculate the volume in liters.
- You need to divide the number of liters by 1,000 to calculate the volume in milliliters.
- Acceptable responses may include, but are not limited to:
- A graduated cylinder should be used to measure 325mL.
- A graduated cylinder will give more accurate measurements.
- Graduated cylinders are available with measurement increments of 1mL.
- Beakers generally measure in increments of 100mL or 50mL.
- Beakers rarely measure in 25mL.
- You would need to estimate the volume if you used a beaker to measure 325mL of water.
