E.g. 2. Identify the appropriate standard unit (g or Kg; ml or l;) for measuring the mass or capacity of a given object
E.g. 3. Estimate, then measure, using a scale (or graduated cylinder) and recording the mass (capacity) of common, everyday objects to the nearest g or kg (or ml or l).
E.g. 4. Explain the relationship between 1000 g and 1 kg using a model or balance or between 1000 ml and 1 l using a graduated cylinder
