This is a triple beam balance reading, which is used to measure the _____ of an object.

• mass

• volume

• length

When using a triple beam balance, the largest value is

• at the top bar

• in the middle bar

• on the bottom bar

When reading a triple beam balance, you need to

• add all the values

• multiply all the values

• subtract all the values

When determining the amount of liquid in a graduated cylinder, there is a "dip" sometimes. The way to read a graduated cylinder is to

• measure from the TOP of the "dip"

• measure from the BOTTOM of the "dip"

• measure in the MIDDLE of the "dip"

What is the volume of water in this graduated cylinder?

According to this image, the best way to get an accurate measurement is to

• read the volume at eye level

• read the volume looking from the top down

• read the volume looking from the bottom up
