00:00Let us learn about capacity with Miss Julie.
00:08Good morning children. Today we will learn about capacity.
00:15Look, I have a bottle filled with water and an empty jar.
00:25Let's pour this water in the jar.
00:30Look, the water started overflowing and fell out of the jar.
00:42Hence, we can say that the capacity of the bottle is more than the jar.
00:51That is, the bottle can hold more water than the jar.
00:58The amount of liquid a container can hold is called its capacity.
01:09Here, the amount of water that the jar is holding is called the capacity of the jar.
01:21We measure the capacity of a container in litres and millilitres.
01:31A litre is represented like this.
01:37A millilitre is represented like this.
01:42Litre is the bigger unit and millilitre is the smaller unit of capacity.
01:54One litre is equal to one thousand millilitres.
02:03These are certain standard measures used to measure the capacity of a liquid.
02:14They are approved by the government.
02:19Half litre, one litre, one and a half litres, two litres and five litres.
02:33Certain liquids in markets are sold in litres and millilitres.
02:41Let us have a look at few such examples.
02:451. Cold drinks are sold in bottles that can hold 200 millilitres, 500 millilitres and one litre.
03:002. We have seen cooking oil getting sold in pouches that can hold half a litre or one litre.
03:12The big cans can hold 5, 10, 20 litres of oil.
03:223. There are certain medicines like cough syrups and eye drops which are sold in small bottles that can hold liquid in millilitres.
03:39Now look at the different containers in each set and let us try to find out which has more capacity.
03:52First there is a bottle and a glass.
03:58Looking at the shape and size let us find out which holds more capacity.
04:06As we can see the glass is small in size.
04:13Therefore it will hold less liquid as compared to the bottle.
04:20Thus we say that the bottle has more capacity than the glass.
04:28Let us look at another example.
04:31We have an oil can and a jar.
04:37Looking at the shape and size we can see that the oil can is bigger than the jar in shape as well as size.
04:50Hence we confirm that the oil can has more capacity than the jar.
04:58From the above examples we come to know that every container has its own capacity.
05:08It might vary depending on the shape and size.
05:15Kids, hope you understood how the word capacity plays an important role even in the day to day things that we use.
05:28Tomorrow we all would be visiting a juice shop.
05:34We will learn how to add and subtract litres and millilitres at the shop.
05:41Till then bye!
