CAPACITY
Today I was learning about capacity and my class did an activity together. I learnt what capacity was and it is weight ( how much it would hold ).
We worked in our table groups and I grabbed the 5 containers as fast as I could. I clutched a stinky milk bottle, a pitch black container, a pink washing powder, a clear container, a ice cream container and a funnel.
When the teacher said order the containers from the one that you predict that would hold the most to the on that you predict that would hold the least. We decided the order super quick and this is how it goes from the most to the least. Milk container, pink washing powder, ice cream container, pitch container and finally the clear container. We did guess right.
I found out that it wasn't as easy as it seems. Water poured everywhere on our desks but it was good too because the desks were very scruffy. The water turned murky greenish black. We had heaps of fun overall though. I also found out that 1000 ml was the same as 1 litre.
I enjoyed filling up the water and tipping the left over water into the garden. Measuring how much water was in the containers was loads of excitement too.
We tipped the water in the garden not in the gutter is because the water in the gutter goes into the oceans and seas. You won't want to swim in murky greeny blackish water do you. Stop emptying dirty water in the gutter.
