Metric or U.S. Standards

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a collection of volume measurement units from two different systems: the US Standard System and the Metric System. Each unit is contained within its own box and the central theme of the worksheet is ‘Volume’, as indicated by the large text in the center of the page. Students are instructed to color the units blue that belong to the US Standard System and those green that belong to the Metric System. The worksheet includes units such as tablespoon, millilitre, litre, and gallon, among others.

The worksheet is designed to teach students the differences between the US Standard System of measurement and the Metric System, specifically regarding units of volume. By associating each unit with its respective system through color-coding, students will learn to distinguish between the two systems. This activity enhances the student’s familiarity with both measurement systems, which is important for understanding recipes, science experiments, and international communication. Additionally, it helps to reinforce the practical application of these units in everyday situations, such as cooking or scientific measurements.
