🧪 Capacity & Mass
This quiz focuses on understanding and comparing the capacity of containers and the mass (weight) of objects—key Grade 2 measurement concepts. You'll work with non-standard units (like cups and blocks) as well as litres, and practise ordering objects by their heaviness and comparing how much different containers can hold. **What you'll learn:** - Compare the capacity of containers using non-standard units - Measure capacity in litres - Understand what mass and weight mean - Order objects from lightest to heaviest - Use measurement vocabulary correctly
