Capacity

You will need some containers (e.g. bowls/ cups) and a selection of different sized spoons and ladles.

Children to investigate how many small spoonful’s it takes to fill their container.

How many large spoonfuls does it take?

How many ladles does it take?

Which sized spoon was the best? Why?

Next…

Give the children with a tall, thin container and a shallow, wide container.

Ask them to predict which will hold more water.

How could they check?

Encourage children to try different methods and prompt them to record the capacity of each container.

To extend further, more containers could be added, and children could order them from the smallest capacity to the greatest capacity.
