Remember: Volume is a measure of the space taken up by something (eg the amount of liquid) Capacity is the amount a container can hold.
Units for measuring capacity Millilitre ml Litre l Kilolitre kl 1000ml = 1l 1000l = 1 kl
Can you work out these? Half a litre = _______ ml Quarter of a litre = ______ ml 2 litres = ml A teaspoon = A cup = A kettle= 250ml 2l 5ml
Practical Capacity in the kitchen! Find containers that you can fill and empty with water. Jugs/ containers with scaled measurements on the side are particularly useful. Which container holds the most liquid? Which container has the smallest capacity? How much more would you need to fill the container? How much of the capacity is unused? Pour different amounts water in all your containers -Can you arrange the containers in order of the volume of water they contain? If you have a jug with a scaled measurement look at the calibrations on the side. Can you fill it up to eg 150ml/ 34ml/ 200 ml / half a litre etc How much more to 1 litre? If you tipped out 30ml, how much would you have left? How many ml does a teaspoon hold? How many mls for a cup? Mug? Water bottle? How many litres for a bucket? Watering can?
