A graduated cylinder is used for measuring the Volume of different things such as irregular objects. It uses the unit ml. It has a miniskus FYI that is when you use water and if you look closely you can see it curve at the top. You measure the miniskus a the bottom of the Curve. Also to find the Volume of an irregular object you first measure the water (starting volume) then place the Object in it and you will have your ending volume. then subtrct the difference from the starting volume and the ending and you will have your volume in ml.
