If you have a small box and a big box, which one can you fit more toys into?

If you have two boxes—one small and one big—you can fit more toys into the big box. This is because the capacity of a container depends on its volume (the amount of space inside it). A larger box has a greater volume, which means it provides more room to store objects such as toys.

For example, imagine the small box can hold only 10 toy cars, but the big box might be able to hold 50 or more. The difference arises because the internal space of the big box is larger, allowing it to accommodate a greater number of items, regardless of their size (as long as they fit through the opening).

Key Concept (Why This Happens)

• Volume: The inside space of an object is called its volume. A big box has more volume than a small box.

• Storage capacity: The bigger the volume, the more items you can store.

• Practical example: Think of a backpack vs. a suitcase. You can carry a few clothes in a backpack, but many more clothes in a suitcase.
