PROBLEM: How does metric volume compare with the English volume of measurement?

PREDICTION:

PROCEDURE:
Exercise 1:  Using the measuring devices on your lab table, determine the measurements for the following:  (Use water to help you develop a way to find the correct number.) 

 _______  ML  1 CUP
 _______  ML  2 CUPS
 _______  ML  1/4 CUP
 _______  ML  1/2 CUP
 _______  ML  1 TABLESPOON
 _______  ML  2 1/2 CUPS
 _______  ML  1 1/4 CUPS

EXERCISE 2:
You have 4 unlabeled containers.  Try and figure out how many ml can fit into each container. Before you measure the volume, predict how much liquid each container can hold. 

 PREDICTION MEASURED AMOUNT
BOTTLE 1    
BOTTLE 2    
BOTTLE 3    
BOTTLE 4    

CONCLUSION
How many ml make 1 cup?
Since you figured out how many ml make 1 cup, how could you determine how many ml would fit into 3 1/2 cups?
