Today we furthered our learning about capacity.
We estimated which container would hold the least and which would hold the most. Some of us estimated the capacity in cups and some of us estimated in ml. Next week, we will measure and find out which estimate was most accurate!
To extend this learning at home: Look at containers around the house, estimate the capacity and then check by reading the measurement on the bottle or using a measuring jug.
To really challenge yourself: find the difference between your estimate and your measurement. For example, if you estimate a bottle holds 600ml and it actually holds 500ml then you could find the difference using the sum 600 - 500 = 100. So the difference is 100ml.
Remember if you leave comments about your work at home on our blog, there are team points up for grabs!

I know what capacity is capacity is like when something like a bottle hold more liquid than another what I found out in class is that Masafi water held the lowest amount of water and comfort white held the biggest amount of water and diet coke held 500ml I had fun learning about mini litre thanks Miss Widdison the best thing about the lesson was when we draw the mini pictures love from Naomi.
ReplyDeleteDear Naomi, well done...you have 5 team points! I am pleased you enjoyed predicting capacity. Here a a few questions:
ReplyDelete1. Can you find out how many millilitres there are in a litre?
2. How many millilitres do you predict the Robinson's Squash bottle can hold?
3. Do you think Masafi bottles come in different sizes?
4. Does it matter if we use water or milk in the experiment? Would there be a difference?
I hope you're having a great weekend!
Miss W
1. 1,000 millilitres in a litre
ReplyDelete2. 730 millilitres I think
3. of course yes it does come in different sizes
4.it does not really matter I should say from Naomi
1. Excellent! So how many ml in 22 litres?
ReplyDelete2. It held 1000ml
3. What other sizes do you think it comes in?
4. Why doesn't it matter?
Thank you for answering the questions! :)
1.22,000 ml
ReplyDelete2.I just guest
3.I don't know
4. because they are both liquid
