How to Use the Worksheet

1. Introduction to Capacity: Begin by introducing the concept of capacity to students, explaining that it refers to the amount of space or substance that a container can hold. Show examples of different containers and discuss how their capacities can vary.

2. Hands-On Exploration: Distribute the "Measure the Capacity" worksheet to students, which features five containers of different shapes and sizes. Students are tasked with measuring the capacity of each container in the real world using various materials such as pompoms, beads, blocks, sand, or water.

3. Recording Observations: As students measure each container, they record their observations on the worksheet by filling in the capacity of each object. This allows them to practice recording numerical data and reinforces their understanding of capacity measurement.

4. Discussion and Reflection: After completing the measurements, facilitate a class discussion to reflect on the findings. Encourage students to compare the capacities of different containers and discuss any patterns or similarities they observe.
