Most liquids used in a graduated cylinder, such as water, form a concave meniscus, so read the volume at the bottom of the curve. A graduated cylinder can measure a solid’s volume by water displacement: record how much the liquid level rises when the solid is submerged. This works for both irregular solids and regular solids, provided the solid fits and does not dissolve or react with the liquid.
