What you'll learn

  1. 1

    We use special tools to measure things. Metres and centimetres measure how long or tall!

  2. 2

    Kilograms and grams measure how heavy something is. A kilogram is heavy, a gram is light!

  3. 3

    Litres and millilitres measure how much liquid we have. A litre is a big drink, a millilitre is tiny!

  4. 4

    Which unit would you use to measure the length of a pencil?
