How Do You Determine the Best Metric Units to Measure a Capacity?
Note:
There's more than one unit to measure the capacity of an object. Sometimes, one unit is a better choice to use for a particular object. In this tutorial, you'll see how to choose the best metric unit to measure the capacity of a given item.
Background Tutorials
-
Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l).
-
What are the Metric Units of Capacity?
A liter is a metric unit used to measure the capacity of an object, but there are other metric units that can also be used! This tutorial introduces the metric units for capacity.

-
Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems.
-
How Do You Convert From Milliliters to Liters?
Milliliters and liters are two units that measure capacity. In this tutorial, you'll see how to take a given number of milliliters and convert it to liters!

Further Exploration
-
Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table.
-
What are the Customary Units of Capacity?
You could use pints, quarts, or even gallons to measure the amount of milk in a container. Those units are all examples of customary units of capacity. This tutorial introduces these helpful units!
