CAPACITY HUNT

Thanks Callum for the great photo of your Capacity Explorations.

What can you find at home which is measured by capacity? Good places to look are the kitchen pantry and the bathroom cupboard. Tell us what you found in your comment, with the name of the items and the measurement.

Feel like a challenge? Make a movie to show what you have discovered.

    I measured the capacity of 5 different glasses in our kitchen. I estimated which had the least and greatest capacity and put them in order. I estimated how many millilitres they could hold. I was surprised at the results when I measured the capacity with a measuring jug. The smallest glass held 150mL and the largest held 475mL. I have emailed a picture.
