Work Out How Many Millilitres in a Container

In this activity, we will be finding out how much liquid is in a measuring cylinder.

You need to know that 1,000 millilitres (ml) makes 1 litre (l).

The green liquid reaches the first mark out of 10 marks.

There is 100 ml of green liquid here.

Each mark is worth 100 ml.

Example

Read the scale and remember that each mark is worth 100 millilitres.
