Teach capacity and volume with our Year 1 Full and Empty Teaching PowerPoint. Children will explain and describe the volume of liquid in a container using half, full, nearly full and nearly empty. Children will learn the difference between volume and capacity and will recap using comparison language.

This step-by-step set of slides is ideal for your main teaching input. Follow this up with some of our worksheet resources to complete your lesson!
