volume and meniscus
All equipment that is intended to measure volume will take into account the meniscus
Viewing across the flat portion of the meniscus.
Water in a glass graduated cylinder adheres to the sides of the cylinder, forming a meniscus which is an upward curve. When reading volume in a cylinder, look at the meniscus at eye level. Read the volume at the bottom of the curve.
My mother yelled to me, "Turn down that volume!".

The best sentence to use the word meniscus in is in a science sentence. You could say the meniscus of the liquid reads at 2 centiliters.

meniscus
The meniscus is the concave line of liquid that forms in a graduated cylinder (measuring volume) due to that liquid's adhesion (the tendency to want to stick to other things). When measuring a liquid's volume in a graduated cylinder, you read the volume from the bottom of the meniscus. Therefore, the meniscus does not measure anything, it is where you measure a liquid's volume from.

Yes. A meniscus is a visible curve in a liquid caused by the attraction of the liquid for the sides of the flask. Read the volume of your flask from the bottom of the meniscus.
The meniscus rule states that you always measure the volume of a water-based solution from the bottom of the meniscus when you are using a graduated cylinder.
Meniscus
A graduated cylinder is used to measure liquid volume in milliliters, mL. When you place a liquid into a glass graduated cylinder, you will see that the "line" at the top of the column of liquid is actually curved downward. This is called the meniscus. When you measure the liquid volume, you record the volume in mL at the bottom of the meniscus.
