Density and Volume in Metric Worksheet

Twelve everyday contexts require a choice among metric mass and capacity units. For each context, learners select among liters, milliliters, grams, and kilograms, considering both what is being measured and the likely scale. A second page is explicitly labelled as a completed reference for checking the unit choices. The customer-facing copy describes that support generically and does not reproduce the answer sequence.
