This week in Year 2 we have been thinking about capacity and volume 🧠💧. The children explored a range of different containers and made predictions about how many cups of water it would take to fill each one to its capacity 🫗.

After sharing our ideas, we carefully poured cups of water into each container and counted how many cups were needed ✅. We then recorded our results in a table, comparing our predictions with what actually happened 📊✍️.

This practical activity helped the children to see that containers can look different but still hold more or less liquid. It also supports our future learning as we begin to measure liquids using millilitres (ml) and litres (l) and develop a better understanding of capacity and volume.
