Volume and Capacity

Even though it poured with rain we got the water out and tried to solve some problems about volume and capacity.  We did create a bit of a flood and Ms Sholson had to do some mopping up with some old towels, but it was a fun way to figure out our volume and capacity problems.  There were a few tricks that we discovered when we were comparing the shape of the container with how much water they held.  The tall containers looked like they held more than the shorter, fatter containers because the water went higher, but this was not always true.
