                              Activity

                       Take a cup and a jug of water. Pour the water into

                       two identical bottles and then compare.
                       What  do  you  see? There is  more  water  in the
                       second  bottle.  So, the jug contains  more water
                       than the cup.

                    We see that the jug is bigger than the cup.

                                                                                                      Capacity tells us
                    A bigger container has more capacity than a smaller                              how much liquid a
                    container.                                                                       container can hold.

                    Observe the following containers. Both are filled with
                    water.

                    Here, the bucket is bigger than the mug.

                    So, the bucket can hold more water than a mug.

                    So, the bucket has more capacity than a mug.

                    The capacity of a cup is less         The capacity of a jug is         The capacity of a jug is less
                         than that of a glass.           more than that of a glass.           than that of a bucket.

                    meASUring CApACity

                    Take a jug and a glass.

                    Fill water in the jug using the glass.
                                                                                                            =
                    You will find that one jug holds 3 glasses of water.

                    Thus, we can say that the capacity of the jug is equal  to the capacity of 3
                    glasses.

                                                                                                                 159
