Capacity 27|6|14

Maths Capacity


Kahu testing the water.
Today I was learning about capacity. Capacity can be in altitude, speed, length, depth etc. To learn about capacity, we had five containers, water & measuring cups. First, we estimated how much water each container held & ordered them in the order we thought they were. After that, we filled up the smallest container with water. We then found out how much mills it held. Then using the information from the cup we filled up with water, we measured the other containers. Finally we filled the rest up with water and found out how much water they could hold & see if we got in the right order.
I found out that capcity is the same as mass.

It was tricky putting the water into the containers.

I enjoyed finding how much water were in the containers.

When I had finished with the water, instead of putting it down the drain, I put in the butterfly garden

  1. It was an interesting day Adam and I'm glad you enjoyed it but check your understanding of capacity. May want to change a few things.
