Measurement of Volume

Description:
Know your tools before you use them in conducting an experiment with measuring volume! This video introduces students to assorted ways of measuring volume. Observe demonstrations on the variety of glassware (including graduated cylinders, volumetric flasks, pipettes, and burets) used for measuring liquids. Under the friendly supervision of instructor Jean Medor, an ethnically diverse group of students illustrate the instrumentality of each type of glassware, including how and when each type is used. A summary follows the presentation of each piece of equipment. Students then share advice and encouragement with viewers exploring the world of science.
