Litres (L) are used to
measure larger
amounts of liquid like
milk. There are 1,000
millilitres in 1 litre.
We use millitres (mL)
for measuring smaller
liquids around the home,
like when we're cooking.
One thousand litres is
called a kilolitre (kl).
This is used for
measuring huge
volumes of liquid!

To measure volume and capacity,
we use a scale like this, which is
often found on the side of a
measuring jug. Hands up if you
have one of these at home!
