To do this exercise, you will need fifteen containers, five large, five medium, and five small. The "large" containers should be about the size of a soda pop can. The containers do not have to be transparent but they need to be shaped so that you will be able to easily pour water from them into a graduated cylinder. You will also need at least one 100-mL graduated cylinder. Ideally, you will also have a larger and smaller cylinder to use. (If, perhaps, you are using kitchen measuring cups instead of graduated cylinders, they need to have metric markings on them. Be sure to use the metric markings!) Be sure to read the volumes at eye level and at the bottom of the meniscus.
