Measuring Volume - Homework Activity and Worksheet

2 activities attached.

Homework Activity:

• Students must look for a variety of containers at home that contain liquid. Can they find the number on the label that tells them how many litres (l) or millilitres (ml) they hold?
• They must then find three containers to bring in to school. One should be about 1 litre, one should be about half a litre (or about 500 millilitres) and the last should be much smaller than half a litre.

Worksheet Activity:

• For this activity, present the children with a variety of empty containers (labelled A to F). You could use ‘some’ of the containers the children brought in for homework.
• Students must then estimate the volume of each container.
• They must then record the actual measurements and finally calculate the difference between their estimate and actual measurement.
