Litres and Millilitres

Aim • I can measure capacity using standard units. Success Criteria • I can measure capacity. • I can use the words ‘litre’ and ‘millilitre’.

Order It – Capacity Sort these containers into order from the most empty to the most full.

Capacity is a measure of how much something can hold. Usually, we use capacity to talk about liquid. What equipment can we use to hold and measure liquid? When something holds as much liquid as it can, we say it is at full capacity.

Capacity What words do we use to describe how much water is in the bottle?

Capacity If we want to find out exactly how much water is in the bottle, we have to measure it. When we measure, we use units so we can compare measurements and talk about them with other people. We measure capacity in millilitres (ml) and litres (l).

Capacity A litre is a lot of liquid. These containers hold litres of liquid. This bottle holds 1 litre.

Capacity A millilitre is a small amount of liquid. These containers hold millilitres of liquid. This spoon holds 5 ml.

How Many? How many litres of water does this bucket have in it? This bucket contains 5 litres of water.
