beaker A wide tool that has a small pouring lip; it is used for transporting and mixing solutions; it can measure liquid volume
How do you read a graduated cylinder properly? view the height of the liquid in the cylinder with your eyes directly level with the liquid; Always read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus.

Does your mass or weight change when you go from planet to planet? Your weight does; it is based upon the gravitational pull of the planet you are on
matter anything that takes up space and has mass
volume the amount of space something takes up
meniscus occurs because of surface tension in the liquid and must be read at eye level
