Capacity

In math class, the students used beans and containers of different sizes to determine capacity.  They used the beans and measurement tools to find containers that had a capacity of 1 cup, 1 pint, 1 quart, 1 gallon and 1 liter.   For the second bean activity, the students had to first estimate and then prove how many cups are in a pint and so on.
