The day before, we are doing an experiment about volume in maths class.It was all splashy...
At first ms L asked us to copy the instruction from the board. it is as follows;
In groups, follow these steps to find the capacity of each of the container the group has.
1.Fill in the container completely with water.
2.Pour the water from the container into the given square container.
3.Using a ruler,measure the depth of water in the square container (correct to the nearest centimetre).
4.Use your knowledge on finding the volume of the cuboid to find the capacity of the container.
After we're done, we need to make a table to help as sort our information. After all of ou
We just need to follow the instruction to succed our experiment.First we need a measuring tool, fill it in with water or sand. Then, pick the container you want to fill the water or sand in. Use your skill of measuring a volume to know the capacity of the container.
This is an example:
container-depth-capacity
plastic jar container-5cm-710ml

I felt that this experiment was fun and spplashyy... But most importantly is that I can learn and understand more about volume. And now i can also know that even though a container have a low depth, the volume can still be bigger than the taller container....
