Volume Voyage at Victoria Falls

Measurement: Capacity & Volume Adventure Pack

The mighty waters of Victoria Falls are roaring — but something is wrong. Water flow measurements are inconsistent. Supply containers are mislabeled. Expedition teams cannot determine how much liquid they are carrying. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the capacity system. If units of volume are not restored, the mission risks overflow and confusion.

In Volume Voyage at Victoria Falls, students hop aboard the Spray Shield Skiff and launch into a high-stakes measurement mission. To stabilize the system, explorers must measure in liters and milliliters, as well as cups, pints, quarts, and gallons. By estimating capacity, comparing volumes, and choosing the correct unit for each situation, students restore balance before the waters surge beyond control.

This adventure blends real-world liquid measurement with estimation, comparison, and hands-on reasoning.

What This Adventure Covers

Each Volume Voyage at Victoria Falls Adventure Pack explores core Measurement: Capacity & Volume concepts, including:

• Liters – A metric unit used to measure liquid volume
• Milliliters – A smaller metric unit used to measure small amounts of liquid
• Cups – A customary unit used to measure volume
• Pints – A customary unit larger than a cup
• Quarts – A customary unit equal to two pints
• Gallons – A large customary unit used to measure liquid
• Measuring Cup – A tool used to measure liquid volume
• Estimate Capacity – Making a reasonable guess about how much a container can hold
• Compare Volume – Determining which container holds more or less

Each concept appears naturally within the adventure and is required to move the story forward, reinforcing capacity understanding through exploration rather than memorization.
