The curved surface at the top of a liquid in a container is called the meniscus. When measuring a liquid in a container, it's important to read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus to ensure an accurate reading.
The top of a liquid, known as the liquid surface, is generally flat and level when in a container at rest due to gravity acting uniformly on all parts of the liquid. However, external factors like surface tension or adhesion to the container may cause slight curvature or other shapes.
Volume readings are made at the bottom of a curved surface called the meniscus. This is due to surface tension pulling the liquid up the walls of the container, creating a curve at the top of the liquid. When taking volume measurements, it is important to read the volume at the bottom of this curved surface for accuracy.
To make dice float, you can use a dense liquid like saltwater or oil in a container and gently place the dice on top. The buoyant force of the liquid will make the dice float.

The curve at the top of a liquid is the meniscus
The curve of the liquid at the top of a liquid measuring cup is called the "meniscus." It forms due to surface tension and the adhesive forces between the liquid and the container. For most liquids, the meniscus curves downward (concave) when the liquid wets the surface, while it may curve upward (convex) for non-wetting liquids. When measuring, it's important to read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus for accuracy.
That is called the 'Meniscus.'

Liquid volume is typically determined using a measuring container such as a beaker, graduated cylinder, or measuring cup. The volume is read by observing the level of the liquid at the meniscus, which is the curve at the top of the liquid. The volume is usually expressed in units such as milliliters (mL) or liters (L).
In chemistry, the meniscus refers to the curve seen at the surface of a liquid inside a container. It is caused by the surface tension of the liquid, and is used to accurately measure the volume of a liquid in a graduated cylinder or similar vessel.
