That?

1 cmณ
(1 cubic centimeter)

filled with water contains exactly 1 mL (1 milliliter)

and is the mass 
of exactly
1 g (1 gram)

A. Insert a plastic bag into this
Instant Metric Cube
for a liner that will retain water.

B. Fill Instant Metric Cube
with water (1 L).

C. Place on a kitchen scale to see 
and feel the mass of 1 kg (1 kg).

DID YOU KNOW?

A cube one tenth (0.10 m) the unit of meter has 10 cm (centimeters) along each side.

10 of these cubes placed side by side is the Length of 1 meter (1 m).
Filled with water it contains the Volume of exactly 1 liter (L).
And when placed on a kitchen scale it is the Mass of exactly 1 kilogram (1 kg).

Now It's in your hands!  Feel how heavy it is?
The close relationship between Length, Volume and Mass.
   See it. Feel it. Fold it. Hold it. Fill it...And it's all simply related in 10s.
 SING ALONG!  "Make a cube one tenth the unit meter..."
