Would you pour this over your head?!

Hopefully not, but if you did...about how much ice cold water would you have poured?

Kind of hard to tell for sure...

This bucket is not used to measure volume, but we can still estimate how much water is in there. How you ask?

We use liters to measure volume

• Liters is the 'base unit'

• When you have 10 liters, you can instead say you have a dekaliter

• If you have 1000 liters then you have a kiloliter

• If you only have a small amount, 1/1000 of a liter - then you have a milileter

But, how much is a liter?

Let's look at some examples
