A graduated cylinder or a beaker can be used to measure the volume or capacity of a water bottle by pouring water from the bottle into the measuring instrument and reading the volume indicated on the scale.
The capacity of a standard water bottle is typically 16.9 fluid ounces or 500 milliliters.
If the bottle has a capacity of 100 cm3, you would expect to be able to fill it with 100 cm3 of water.
A thermometer measures the temperature of boiling water, while a stopwatch measures the time it takes for water to boil. These two instruments can be used together to calculate the rate at which water boils.

A hygrometer or a tensiometer can be used to measure water uptake in plants. These instruments can monitor soil moisture levels and water potential to gauge how much water the plants are absorbing.
