Note for Parents & Teachers
This follows the NCERT Class 3 chapter "Filling and Lifting". Capacity is how much a container holds: we measure it in litres and millilitres. Weight is measured in kilograms and grams. Football fact used: a match football weighs between 410 and 450 grams. At home, pour water with a measuring jug and weigh fruit on a kitchen scale.
