Gallon Man Contest

Measurement and Capacity can be a challenging concept for many students. Therefore, I taught them through the story of GALLON MAN.
We took a slightly different approach and created GALLON MAN using his HEAD. We then had a contest for students to submit their GALLON MAN drawings to be laminated and hung in our classroom (also a great way to have a reminder poster for capacity).

See pictures:


Changes for the future use of this project: Give them larger pieces of paper so they can become large enough posters to see from far away in the classroom.
