Based on the analysis of the curriculum specification of the Malaysian Science syllabus, the technique of measuring the volume of liquids had been introduced in grade 4 under the topic of “measurement.” Students had been trained on the appropriate usage of the beaker and measuring cylinder, two of the basic apparatus in the laboratory for measuring the volume of liquids. Findings from the class observation during transition indicated that students still encountered difficulty in reading the meniscus of graduated apparatus. They tended to read the upper meniscus of the liquid. In using the thermometer, some students were not able to give the correct reading of the water temperature.
