 Math: Exploring Capacity

Math: New Concept: Yesterday we had so much fun filling containers. Today we are going to keep looking at our study on capacity. Fill a bowl with rice. Then ask, I wonder if this soda bottle has more or less capacity. Invite a few responses. Then transfer the rice to the bottle using the funnel. Tell the students you are using a funnel so you won’t spill any rice.
When your students notice that the rice does not fill the bottle ask them what they think happened. Then ask, What do you think will happen if I pour it back in the bowl?
Whole Group Explore: Now you will document our rice experiment. You will start by drawing the first bowl we used. Now draw how high the rice was in the bowl.
Now I will pour it into another container. Which one should we try next? Now draw how the rice looks in this next container. Continue until the response page has been completed. Which container had the most capacity? Which had the least capacity.
Guide students to use the language of higher or lower capacity.
