Volume or Capacity

In Maths, we have been studying Volume, also called Capacity. That means - how much can fit into a container. For one of our activities Mrs Dakers brought some plastic containers from home and we put them into order from the container which we thought held the least, to the container which we thought held the most. Then we checked by filling them with beans and tipping from one to the other.

Once we had checked, we had to change the original order. We also found that 2 of the containers held exactly the same amount, even though they looked different.

In another activity, we looked at a cup and estimated (guessed) how many cups of drink this size we could get from a bottle. Then we counted how many bottles we would would need for everyone in Kindle 2 to be able to have a drink. There were some pretty interesting estimates.

Then we made some drink by following the instructions on the packet. We had to count how many spoonfuls of Raro to add to the bottle.

Then the good part, we got to taste the Raro - Yum!
