Measuring Volume

Mar. 24-25, 2014

Next up on the measuring agenda--measuring volume. We started with measuring rice and using this worksheet (I simplified it a bit for Seth).  Not sure how much he really understood, but at least it's an introduction!

Then we moved on to measuring with water. I had Seth pick 5 containers of different sizes and fill them with water. Then we dumped the water into a measuring cup and saw how much there was: 

Then I had him line the containers up in order from least to greatest volume: 

He was surprised by order of a few of these. Just because they're taller doesn't mean they always hold more!
