Over the past few weeks in P4/5N we have been learning about different types of measurement. This week we have been looking at capacity. First we did some estimating, looking at the shapes of the containers to try and work out which containers we thought would hold the most liquid.

We realised that it was quite tricky to estimate with some of the containers due to all their different shapes so decided we would need to investigate further. Out came the water!

It was quite difficult to make sure we didn’t spill any as this would make our measurements less accurate. The classroom (and the children!) got very wet but we all enjoyed trying out different ways of measuring and comparing, to check if our estimations were correct.
