Volume & Capacity: How Much Can It Hold?

Description:

A room box can look perfectly scaled on the outside and still not hold what you’d expect on the inside — and now your child can find out why.

What children/students will learn:

• How volume shrinks by the scale factor three times — not just once— when you build in miniature
• how to calculate the volume of a real and miniature containers using length, width, and height
• how to compare real-world capacities from a gallon jug to a shoebox, using consistent math
• hands-on practice building and measuring a to-scale container of their own

Perfect for: grades 2-5, and any carrying adult ready to build alongside them.
