- - - - Beaker - large volume, only if rough volume is required
      - Measuring cylinder - more accurate than beaker, used for large volumes which don't have to be exact
      - Pipette - smaller volumes, exact quantities needed, only measures one volume
      - Burette - used for very accurate measurements of any amount
    - - Never blow the last drops of liquid out of the pipette, this will make your volume inaccurate
      - Touch the pipette gently against the edge of the container to release the last drop
      - Now transfer the pipette to the container you want the liquid in and release your index finger from the end of the pipette
      - Do this until the bottom of the meniscus reaches the small line
      - Release some of the liquid slowly by twisting the pipette between your middle finger and your thumb. whilst your index finger is still on the top
      - Keep the end of the pipette over the beaker of liquid
      - Place your index finger over the top the pipette (quickly)
      - Suck the liquid up beyond the small line above the swollen portion of the pipette
- - - - Gently place the solid object into the measuring cylinder
      - Record the new volume of water in the measuring cylinder
      - Place an amount of water into a measuring cylinder (record the volume)
      - Subtract the first volume from the second to get the volume of the object
