Sand Castle Capacity and Volume

This term the children made sand castles using measuring jugs and calculated the total volume from the measurements made. This led to children choosing to independently measure height, circumference, perimeter and area in their castles. Once we were done we shared our ideas and talked about how we worked our the capacity/total volume of our castles. The children used teamwork,  problem solving and lots of mental arithmetic!
