Distance, Area, Volume Unit Study
Day 11: We determined how much different containers could hold in milliliters.
In Germany restaurant beverages are not sold in small, medium and large sizes, but rather in milliliters or liters. .3 liter and .5 liter sizes are the most common. How much is .3 liters?
First several drinking vessels were gathered.
Next, they were placed in size order by appearance.
Next, they were filled with water and the water was dumped into a container containing milliliter markings.
Each container was labeled with the amount of liquid it could hold and reordered if necessary. The kids learned why the Eeorye cup is my favorite one. (It holds the most liquid.)
