Instruments for measuring:
You can use different instruments for measuring capacity. You'll need to choose the most suitable instrument for the task.
You Need to Consider:
What you are measuring: Is it a large or small amount of liquid.
Whether the scale on the instrument goes up high enough, to do this you need to estimate the measurement. For example to measure 1.5 liters you can't use a jug that only measures up to 1 liter.
What measuring instruments you have available
Whether the scale uses the correct units. Older measuring instruments might have this scale in imperial units, fluid ounces (FL oz.).
Whether the scale will give you an accurate enough reading. Are the divisions small enough?
Here are some examples:
1. You can use a medicine cup to measure small amounts of liquid. It has a Capacity of 30 ml.
2. You can use a Jug in the kitchen. It has a Capacity of 1 liter. The jug's scale in metric units (liters and milliters), and imperial units (pints and fluid ounces).
3. You can use the scale on a kettle to measure amount of water you want to boil. It has a Capacity of 1.7 liters.
4. You can use a bucket to measure large amounts of liquid. This one has a capacity of 11 liters.
Hope this Helps!!!!
