What You Measure
Anything that is liquid. Look for the top of the meniscus (water line). Measure it in mL.
When You Need It
When you need to find out the volume of an irregularly shaped object.
What it is
When you need to measure the volume of a pebble, rock, etc. Say your meniscus is at 40 mL, you drop the pebble in and it moves to 44 mL. Subtract 40 from 44 and you get 4mL, that is your volume.
