Using a small non-standard measure take the container that each group has chosen and measure smoothie in to it. Note how much smoothie each group has managed to get. Then compare what they found to their original selections before measuring. There is now scope for a good discussion and further work could now be done using small non-standard units to measure the capacity of each container – once the smoothie has been drunk of course. | Using a small non-standard measure take the container that each group has chosen and measure smoothie in to it.

This activity is best done outside or in an area that can be mopped. Each group will need a large container – tray or stacker box – and a range of other containers, the capacity of which will be compared. Children are likely to get wet – they may need aprons. If doing this outside it may be better to take tables out as the children are less likely to pour water over their feet or to kneel in it. | |||
