Measured with 1/3 cup

1 cup = 18 peanuts
6 peanuts x 3 (1/3) cups

1 pint = 36 peanuts
18 peanuts x 2

1 quart = 72 peanuts
36 peanuts x 2

1 liter = 4 cups OR 75.6
peanuts
18 peanuts (1 cup) x 4.2

2 liter bottle = 8 cups OR 151.2 peanuts
75.6 peanuts (liter rounded) x 2

1 gallon = 288 peanuts
144 peanuts x 2

  • We have to work with measuring cups and Styrofoam peanuts
  • The process we need to observe is 
  • The information that we need is how many peanuts can we fit in a 2 liter bottle without squishing and breaking them.
  • We will have to find multiple websites that say the same thing so we know if it's correct or not.
  • We will demonstrate it by standing up with the padlet behind us and talking and pointing at different objects to represent our math and ideas that we did. 
  • We will need to make a separate item with all of the material on it so that

  • We need to know how many peanuts are going to be in the 2 liter and what materials we will be using.

  • We will test our hypothesis by demonstrating our math and information and explaining it in a way that everyone will understand.
  • We can use our padlet and our information to help us find the answer to our hypothesis.

  • If we were to do this again I think I would've done about the same thing as before, but maybe put in extra information or math.
  • What worked is the math behind it. What didn't work was that it was kind-of tough to start out.
