Fruit Loops Capacity

Fruit Loops and Milk

Fill the bath (bowl) with milk. Predict how many cups of fruit loops it will take to fill the bowl.

Kids work in pairs. Make a shape that has been built up e.g. the triangle in this picture. Use Mrs Murray’s blocks, lego, duplo etc. Ideas could be rectangles, squares or even try a hexagon with the blocks.

Create two different shapes, or join with another group. Your job is to now work out which shape holds the most amount? 

Materials they could use: unifix, tennis balls, anything in the room that is the same size.
