How much will it hold?

glass jar
Today we had an assembly and the Grade 6 band came for Senator Riley. They showed us how some on the instruments work and how you play them.
In math we learned that not all containers hold the same amount.  We filled smaller containers with rocks and dumped them into the bigger container to see which would hold more.  The big word for how much it will hold is called capacity. We learned that sometimes fatter things can hold more than tall things.
Today in zones we learned about small problem and big problems.  We blew up balloons for the size of the problem we learned that not all problems are the same size.
