Instructions

1
Identify the two types of measuring cups: a dry measuring cup (metal, flat top) and a liquid measuring cup (glass or plastic with a pour spout).
2
Understand that while they are designed differently for function, one cup of volume is the same in both.
3
To demonstrate, fill a 1-cup dry measuring cup to the brim with a liquid like water.
4
Carefully pour the liquid from the dry measuring cup into the liquid measuring cup.
5
Observe that the liquid reaches the 1-cup mark on the liquid measuring cup, proving they hold the same volume.
