Volume and Capacity

Volume is how much space something has. Capacity is the amount that something contain. The standard forms are ml (milliliters) and l (liters).

Estimating is a educated guess to the amount of something is. If a person knows how much space in a lunchbox is 300cm cube, then they can compare the space with a measuring tube. If they know how much water are in the measuring tube. They can make a estimation.

Converting is not easy. If a person wants to convert ml (milliliters) to l (liters) just multiply the number by 1000. If the person wants to covert l (liters) to ml (milliliters) just divide the number by 1000
