Below is a liquid measure conversion chart! This chart will come in handy when doing your home activity!
= HOME ACTIVITY! = = This week's home activity is a __ SCIENCE PROJECT __!!! =

Students are going to make a homemade xylophone using their knowledge about liquid conversions!
= Materials Needed: = =Instructions:=
 * === 5 drinking glasses (glasses must be able to hold 1 cup of water) ===
 * === Water ===
 * ===Liquid measurements for: Pint, Cup, and Tablespoon.===
 * === Metal spoon ===
 * ===On a flat surface, like a table, place glasses near each other but not touching.===
 * ===Then fill each glass with a different amount of water. (Write your conversions down on a sheet of loose leaf paper)===

GLASS 5: Convert 1/8 cup into tablespoons. Once amount is determined, pour that amount of water into the glass.

 * ===With your spoon, tap on each glass. Findings: Do you hear different sounds? ===
 * ===Then, tap on different parts of each glass. Findings: Again, what do you hear? ===
 * ===Play around with the amounts of water in each glass and create your own song! If you have a recorder, record your song and bring it in to show your classmates!===
 * === Record your findings on a sheet of loose leaf paper to turn in to your teacher! ===
