Lesson

This week we have been learning about volume and capacity.

On Monday and Tuesday we learnt about the volume of liquids.

On Wednesday and Thursday we learnt about the volume of solid objects in the shape of rectangular prisms and cubes.

BUT … not all solid shapes are a rectangular prism or cube, in fact most are not. How do we measure the volume of irregular shapes?

1.Watch the below videos to find out how.

3.In your exercise book, use mathematical language to explain your knowledge of displacement. Explain what was happening in Mr Archimedes bath?

4.How could Mr Archimedes figure out which character had the most and the least volume of all those who were in the bath? Write your answer in your exercise book and explain your thinking.

5. Conduct the Displacement Investigation in your workbook.
