Volume and Capacity

Over the past few weeks our focus in Mathematics has been volume and capacity. We have learned that volume is the amount of liquid actually in the container and capacity is how much the container can hold when completely full. We have had so much fun using water and different containers to measure the volume and capacity!




Miss Atterton taught us that if we pour the same amount of liquid into a container with greater width, the water level will appear less. If we pour the same amount of liquid into a container that has a smaller width, the water level will appear higher. How cool is that!
