Metric volume measurements are based around the liter of which there are 1000 in a square meter (ie. 1l 1000cm³). [1] There are 1000 liters in a kiloliter, and 1000 milliliters in a liter. kiloliter 1,000 liters kl hectoliter 100 liters hl dekaliter 10 liters dal LITER 1 liter l deciliter 0.1 liters (1/10 liter) dl centiliter 0.01 liters (1/100 liter) cl milliliter 0.001 liters (1/1000 liter) ml Here are the metric measurements of mass and weight.
[2] Discuss what is measured in liters (large amounts of liquid like soft drinks, bottled water, water in an aquarium). Have the students convert the liter measurements they recorded to milliliters by multiplying the liter measurement by 1000.
[3] At the bottom of the paper, have the students list three things that would be measured in milliliters and three things that would be measured in liters.
[3] Step: 1 Duration: Prior to class Prior to the lesson, assemble a metric measuring kit that includes an eye dropper, child's medicine spoon, measuring cups with milliliter markings, and pitchers with mL and liter marks. Get as many of these as possible so that all students will have materials to work with. Ask the students to bring in these materials or check your school library for supplies.
[3] Step: 2 Duration: 10 minutes Review with students that the metric unit for measuring capacity, how much a container will hold, is the liter.
[3] The students need to make three columns down the paper with the following headings: 1. estimate in liters, 2. actual liters, 3. milliliters.
[3] This was created for day 112 of the 180 day sequence. This is a hands-on lesson on capacity using the metric units of milliliter and liter. This is a review lesson of previously taught material.
[3] We measure very small quantities in milliliters and larger quantities in liters.
