Capacity!
Chapter 15: Full, Empty & Holds More
Capacity is about space inside, not size outside. A tall glass might hold less than a wide cup! Let's learn which containers hold more.
Which Holds More?
Riya has a tall glass and a wide cup.
"The tall one must hold more!" she thinks.
But when she pours water, the wide cup overflows first!
Milo barks: "Height isn't everything! Capacity is about space inside!"
Look at each container. Is it full, empty, or half-full?
Watch what happens when we pour from one container to another!
We use litres to measure how much a container can hold. Tap each item to learn more!
The litre is how we measure liquids like water, milk, and juice.
A milk packet from the shop is usually 1 litre! 🥛
💧 Remember: We write litre as L. So "2 litres" becomes "2 L".
How many litres does each container hold? Guess first, then check!
Look at the capacities. Tap the container that holds more!
Someone made a mistake about capacity. Can you spot it?
Which container should she use?
Tap each card to see how capacity helps us every day!
💧 Readiness signs: Child understands that shape affects capacity, compares by pouring rather than guessing by height, uses "litre" correctly in conversation, and can estimate whether a container holds more or less than 1 litre.
