What are the Standard Units of Capacity?
- Capacity tells us how much something can hold.
- We use special units to measure capacity, just like we measure length or weight.
- Common units for capacity include litres (L) and millilitres (mL).
Examples:
- Measuring drinks:
- A bottle of water might hold 500 millilitres, which is half a litre!
- This helps you know how much you can drink.
- Cooking:
- A measuring cup often shows volume in litres or millilitres for recipes.
- If a recipe asks for 1 litre of milk, that's like filling up a big bottle!
- Watering plants:
- When you fill a watering can, you might fill it with 2 litres of water.
- This amount is just right for thirsty plants!
