Gonna keep this one quick since it's late. Yikes! This morning we learned how to measure volume in cubic centimeters.
Info we already knew that we needed: The area of a base is length x width. Height means how tall something is.
Everyone worked in groups of 4 to construct 4 different rectangular prisms. Once they were assembled, we worked on estimating their volume, filling them with centimeter cubes, and then calculating the volume by multiplying the area of the base times the height.
Most challenging part? Getting those cubes to fit perfectly in the prisms...
Calculating volume once we figured out the procedure = a piece of cake!
