Volume

Today the children have done some great problem solving to do with volume. They explored the problem...

'A taller container will always hold more liquid than a shorter one. True or false?'

To solve this problem, children had a go at measuring the amount of liquid that different sized containers held. Some of us measured this amount by counting the number of cups of water that fit inside the container, whilst a few of us began to use measuring jugs to get more accurate measurements in millilitres. We used cubes to help us keep track of how many cups we had put into our containers,

Now we have started talking about millilitres for measuring volume, perhaps you could have a look around the house to find objects which have this measurement on them? Perhaps you could even take a photo that we could add to the bottom of this blog...
