Investigating Capacity

Last week we continued our unit on measurement by exploring capacity.  Students created their one 1 liter beakers by measuring 100 mL into a cup, pouring it into an empty 2-liter bottle, and marking each 100 mL with a marker on the outside of the bottle.  We discovered that there are 1,000 mL in 1 liter.

Thank you for sending in 2-liter bottles and pitchers!
