squirtymomma Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 This is Unit 9, I think, of Book A. How do you guys do this at home? We're managed 9.1-9.3. But what about 9.4 where it says that I need a bigger container, with others that are 1/10th, 1/5th and 1/3rd the capacity of the bigger one. What can you use for this? This chapter is a bit of a pain, I'm tempted to just skip it. My dd gets the conservation concept. Is there something simpler I can do instead of what is suggested for 9.4? I'm hoping it's a bit easier once we get to 1st grade, and you can get ideas from the home instructor's guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erica in OR Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 My last child is finishing up Singapore Earlybird and the volume/capacity units have always been the most irritating for me, for setup. For the one you describe, each time I just cast around to see what's in the recycling bin or in the cupboards, container-wise, and do my best. If we don't have exactly what they're describing, I don't sweat it - maybe just decrease the number of different capacity examples. The funny thing is, the kids think these are some of the best units. They like the chance to pour water from one container to another, and just do some overall water play. They all took more energy that I wanted to expend though, setting them up at least vaguely like the descriptions. Erica in OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iskra Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 sorry about the off topic post here... but I was just reading your signature and was wondering, what does CBS stand for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirtymomma Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Oh, Community Bible Study. It's a study for me (actually, I lead a women's group), but they have great Bible programs for the kids, and some locations (like mine) have classes for homeschooled kids. Ours goes up to 6th grade.
