TUTORIAL：Reading Measuring Devices.mp4 (Mililiters)🚨 When measuring things...
Kids may hold the container and forget to keep it on a flat surface and fail to read the scale correctly.
Kids may have confusion between liquid volume and capacity. For instance, here is a water bottle that has the capacity to hold 600 ml fluid and just fills with 300 ml of water. Some may think the liquid volume of it should be 600 ml.
They may also believe that the liquid volume changes when a set amount is poured from one container to another container of a different size or shape.
✅ Tips
Double check the container is on a flat surface.
Pick a calibrated container and use it to measure different amounts of liquid. For instance, pick a calibrated container that has the capacity to hold 600 ml of liquid. First, fill it with 300 ml of water and ask your kids: "What is the liquid volume?". Then, fill it up and ask the same question again.
Prepare containers of different sizes and shapes. Pour the same amount of liquid into them in order to show the outcomes to your kids.
