to do this experiment, she 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

our group didn't use normal calculations like -, +, x, or even divide.. we count it with the given container that has the volume on it, so that it will be easier for the volume.. for the depth, we count it with ruler..

example:

container / depth of water in square container / capacity of container [ml]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
small tube / 19 cm / 73 ml
container / /
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


i say its a fun activity to do at school.. it goesss splasssshhyy!! well,, need more time siiihh..
so, i think we just need to managed our time wisely and also do not mess up someones table full of water.. :p in this activity, we learn to know the capacity of different containers, depth of the container, name of the container and what it is used for [if don't know yet] .. actualyy there's more but this is what i remembered.. :p
