Capacity and Mass

Last week we were exploring mass and capacity. We started the week by exploring heavier and lighter and becoming human scales. We then introduced balancing scales and challenged ourselves to find the amount of cubes to balance the scales with an object in the other side. We learnt the word estimate and had a sensible guess first. 

Towards the end of the week we moved onto capacity. We learnt the key vocabulary: empty, half full, full, container and capacity and we were able to describe which containers had a larger capacity and our reasoning.
