This lesson came to me while I was in the shower. Reaching for my shampoo bottle I saw the word VOLUME in large print on the front. I then thought about my how I normally just do a water displacement lab for volume and the kids have fun but what if I could innovate the way I present and introduced to them volume. I braided my hair into about 20 little braids and went to sleep. When I woke up, I un-braided my hair and teased it to get as much volume as I could. Walking into school the kids chuckled and were very confused. They already thought I was crazy but I think this act just confirmed they were right. They definitely remember that volume is the amount of space an object takes up!
