Topic: Measurement E2.1 – Metric Units for Capacity

Ontario Curriculum Expectation:

6.E2.1 measure length, area, mass, and capacity using the appropriate metric units, and solve problems that require converting smaller units to larger ones and vice versa.

We use millilitres (ml) and litres (L) to measure the capacity of objects.
Here are the capacities of some common objects.

Remember to use smaller units to measure objects with smaller capacity.

Millilitre is a smaller unit, and litre is a larger unit.
