Weight and Capacity – Ms Gourlay's Class
 

Weight and Capacity

| Posted in Uncategorized

Lesson 3:

I can compare and order weight. (I compare objects by weigh and put them in order by what is heavier or lighter).  I know that size doesn’t matter.

 

Practice:  Point to the object in each picture that is heavier.

Lesson 4:

I can compare and order capacity. (I compare objects by capacity and put them in order by what holds more or less).

Practice:  Which container holds more water?

What did you guess?  Are you surprised by the answer below?

  • The food storage container (in front) holds the most – 3 cups of water.
  • The mason jar holds less – 2  1/2 cups of water.
  • The vase holds the least (even though it is the tallest container) – 1  1/2 cups of water.

Try this at home.  Find some containers and use a cup (any size) to fill them with water.
