Capacity Capers!

We know that capacity is the measure of how much something can hold. We did an experiment to find out the capacities of some containers we had lying around.
We want you to make a prediction about what order these containers go in starting from the smallest capacity to the largest capacity. That means from the container that holds the least to the container that holds the most.
Please send us a comment with your prediction. We will post the answer on Friday. You could set up a similar experiment at home - WARNING it gets a bit wet!
Good luck and good guessing.
Hmm, that's a bit tricky to see...
Ahh - that's better!


Saturday 16th October:  The answer is B, A, E, C and D and F are equal.
