GOOD JOB!


Remember--a Petri dish is used primarily for growing bacterial cultures, and a triple-beam balance is used to measure mass. Although an Erlenmeyer Flask CAN be used to measure volume, it is much more accurate to use a Graduated Cylinder.

b)Put the liquid surface at eye level and read the top of the meniscus
c) Look down onto the surface and approximate the volume from the meniscus
