Worksheet for learning capacity measurement using liters and milliliters with different containers.

This worksheet asks you to choose the most appropriate unit of capacity — either liter (L) or milliliter (mL) — to measure the liquid in each container shown.

---

🔍 Key Concept:

- Milliliter (mL) is used for small amounts of liquid (e.g., medicine, perfume, a glass of water).
- Liter (L) is used for larger amounts of liquid (e.g., bath tub, bucket, watering can).

> 💡 Remember:
> 1 liter = 1000 milliliters
> So, if something holds *more than about 500 mL*, it’s usually measured in liters.
> If it holds *less than 500 mL*, it’s usually measured in milliliters.

✔ Here’s the correct answer for each container:

#### 1. Bath tub
- Holds a lot of water — easily 100+ liters.
✔ liter

#### 2. Bucket
- Usually holds 5–20 liters of water.
✔ liter

#### 3. Perfume bottle
- Very small amount — typically 30–100 mL.
✔ milliliter

#### 4. Liquid medicine
- Measured in small doses — often 5–30 mL.
✔ milliliter

#### 5. Milk in small can
- A “small can” of evaporated milk (like Carnation) is usually around 300–400 mL — still less than 1 liter.
✔ milliliter
*(Note: Some might argue “liter” if thinking of larger cans, but since it says “small can,” milliliter is more accurate.)*

#### 6. Watering can
- Typically holds 5–10 liters of water for gardening.
✔ liter

#### 7. Mud pot
- Assuming this is a traditional clay pot for storing water or food — likely holds 1–5 liters.
✔ liter

#### 8. Glass of water
- Standard drinking glass holds about 200–250 mL.
✔ milliliter
