to do the experiment, miss lenny gave us the instruction..

instruction
in group, follow these steps to find the capacity of each containers the group has
1. fill the container completely with water
2. pour the water from the container into the given square container
3. using the ruler, measure the depth of the water in the square container correct to the
nearest cm
4. use your knowledge on finding the volume of a cuboid to find the capacity of the
container in ml

my group fill in some water to the container given and pour the water, we count using the amount of water use to pour water to containers. for the depth, we measure it using ruler

example:

container - depth of water in square container - capacity of the container [ml]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
tube container - 30 cm - 310 ml
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


i say its a fun activity to do for an experiment at school, although we need more time to do it!! And I think we also need to manage our time properly too!!
