Meauring capacity

Room 1 are learning to estimate and measure capacity using litres and Millilitres. 

Before we measured using measuring jugs. We estimated using our knowledge of how many cups could go in. We knew that 250ml = 1 cup. We made estimations based on the prior knowledge we had.

After we estimated the measurements we used measure jugs that had millilitres and litres on the side. We filled the bottles up first then poured the water into our jugs and added up the numbers.

We then realised 1 litre = 1000ml and 1000ml = 1 litre. Now when we go to the shop we can convert litres into millilitres with our families.

Libby said we can use the measuring cups for baking as well because it says how many cups are on each jug. Baking is usually measured by cups.

This was a fun lesson.
