Volume and Capacity

Today we started to look at volume and capacity.

 

First we wrote what we knew about volume and capacity on the smartboard.

Here are some of our keywords-

litres

metric and imperial

millilitres

centilitres

liquid

measure

capacity

pints

 

We know that there are 1000 millilitres in a litre.  We looked up kilolitres and we found out that there are 1000 litres in a kilolitre.

In pairs we worked out a statement to tell the difference between volume and capacity.

Keavie and Angus R – The volume is how much is in a container and the capacity is how much it can hold.

Grace – The capacity stays the same but the volume can change.

 

We are looking forward to doing some more practical work on volume and capacity.

  1. I liked this task because I learned that in a kilometre there are 1000 litres. It will help me in future because I will be able to measure litres 😀

  2. I liked this because that you can get a kilometre and that is 1000 liters. The volume can change but the capacity always stays the same.
