Definitions

VOLUME

Is the measure of an object´s ability to hold a substance like a solid, a liquid,or a gas.

CAPACITY

Capacity is the space taken up by the object itself.

Volume CapacityThe volume of a solid is the amount of space it occupies.

Capacity is the amount of liquid a container can hold when it is full.

volume is the space taken up by the object itself.

capacity refers to the ability of something to hold, receive or absorb.

If the length, width, and height of this three-dimensional container, measures 5 cm, 10 cm, and 20 cm respectively, the volume is 5 cm × 10 cm × 20 cm = 1000 cm3.By definition, 1000 cm3 = 1 liter.1 milliliter is grossly the dimension of a container with length, width, and height of 1 cm, 1 cm, and 1 cm respectively since 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm = 1 cm3.

Kilo is prefix which refers to a multiplication by 1000, so 1 kiloliter = 1 liter × 1000 = 1000 liters1 kiloliter is approximately the capacity of a king-size water bed. As you may have noticed, kiloliters are used to measure huge quantity.

Items that may require millimeters to measure them :A glass of waterA one scoop ice creamA bottle of perfumeItems that may require kiloliters to measure them:Amount of oil or gas heat in your tankAnnual milk productionAmount of water in swimming pool

Items that may require liters to measure them:Amount of water consumed in a day by a human beingAmount of milk a cow will give per day

DISCOVERING VOLUME MEASUREMENTS

BY: MARIA CAMILA MARTINEZ ELENA RUBIO

This is capacity because this is a liquid and it is measured in ml and capacity is the amount of substance a container can hold.

This is capacity because shampoo is a thick liquid and ml is the measure we use for capacity.

This is capacity because soda is a liquid and it is measured in liters.
