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.
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 😀
Amazing work primary 5 keep it up
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.
