Measuring Capacity: Fun with Containers!
Measuring Capacity: Fun with Containers!
What do you already know about capacity?
Learning Objective
At the end of the lesson you will be able to compare and measure the capacity of different containers using everyday language.
What is Capacity?
Capacity tells us how much a container can hold. We often measure capacity in millilitres (ml) and litres (l).
Full, Half-full, Empty
We describe containers as full, half-full, or empty. Can you spot the difference?
Comparing Capacity
Now, which container holds less? Guess before measuring!
Which Holds Less?
Which Holds More?
Look at two different containers. Which one do you think holds more water?
Let’s Measure Together!
We can use cups, spoons, or bottles to measure. Let's count how many cups fill up a jug!
