Learn capacity through pouring
Compare how much different containers can hold by filling, pouring, and using the language full, empty, more, and less.
Capacity means how much a container can hold. Children look at cups, bowls, and bottles, make a prediction, then test it with the same scoop or cup of water, rice, or sand.
Keep the comparison fair
Use the same filling tool for both containers and work over a tray. A teacher can turn this into a science-and-maths station, while families can use dry pasta or bath cups for a short home activity.
Guidance for parents and teachers
Let the child make a prediction before filling two clear containers with the same scoop. Use full, empty, nearly full, more, and less during the talk. In class, protect the workspace with trays and limit the station to two containers at first. Simplify by contrasting a tiny cup and a large jug. Extend by recording how many equal scoops each holds. Prompt: 'Did the container that looked taller hold the most?'
