Hi guys, today I wanted to share with you a fun hands on activity we did during our botany unit. We read in one of our books that it takes 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of maple syrup, so this led to a liquid measurements lesson.
First we started off by collecting containers around the house that corresponded to each measurement (gallon, quart, pint, and cup). Next we ordered them from the largest to the smallest. Finally, we talked about the equivalent measurement (how many quarts in a gallon, how many pints in a quart, etc.)
Material
1. Construction Paper
2. Scissors
3. Brass Fasteners
After the boys understood the concept we assembled our gallon man.
1 Gallon= 4 quarts
1 Quart = 2 pints
1 Pint = 2 cups
