Understanding Capacity

Miss Julie introduces the concept of capacity, demonstrating with a bottle and a jar. She explains that capacity is the amount of liquid a container can hold, measured in liters and milliliters. Various real-life examples, such as cold drinks and cooking oil, illustrate these measurements. The video also compares the capacities of different containers, emphasizing that capacity varies with shape and size. The lesson concludes with a preview of the next topic: adding and subtracting liters and milliliters.
