Volume and Capacity

Learning intention

I am recapping on what volume and capacity are.

I can answer questions relating to my learning from the week. 

Volume

Capacity

The amount a container can hold.

The amount of space a liquid occupies.

Volume and Capacity

After pouring 2l of juice into this jug the jug is half full.

The volume of juice in the jug is 2l because that is how much liquid is in the container.

The capacity of the jug is 4l because that is how much the jug can contain.

Capacity and Volume

The capacity of this glass is smaller than the jug.

The glass holds less than 1 litre so we measure the liquid in this glass in millilitres.
