Length, mass and capacity
You will need: square paper/card, scissors, glue, measuring jugs, weighing scales, rice. Work in small groups to investigate the capacity of different sized cubes. Use square paper to make some nets of open top cubes.
Fill your cubes with rice. Find the mass of each cube of rice.
Now pour each cube into a measuring jug to measure the capacity of each cube. Make predictions before you start. Record your results in a table like this.
