Time, Mass and Volume · Learning goals
Read clocks to the exact minute, find how much time has passed, and solve problems with grams, kilograms and liters.
Why it matters
Working out how long something takes is a skill kids use for school, sports, travel and screen time.
Grams, kilograms and liters are used in cooking, science and shopping around the world.
Kids learn to estimate how heavy or full something is, which helps in science experiments.

Lesson preview
This is the real lesson text your child hears, read aloud by a friendly voice.
Each little mark on the clock is 1 minute. Count by 5s, then count the extra minutes: 4:37.
Elapsed time is how much time has passed. From 2:00 to 2:45 is 45 minutes.
Heavy things are measured in kilograms. Light things are measured in grams.
Liquids are measured in liters. A big water bottle holds about 1 liter.
For parents
Learning sticks best when kids use it in real life. Here are simple ideas from this course.
Bake or cook together and let your child measure ingredients in grams and milliliters. Then time how long it takes to cook and work out when it will be ready.
