Birds are fall pests
Measuring teaches fractions
Part 2 in a series
N o I E IO PARENTS This article explains the art of
So when you follow a recipe to make a meal, you have to be
careful to add the right amounts, too No, too much, no, too
little, bu, jus, enough Measuring correctly is one of the most
important parts of cooking
To help you, there are many standard measuring tools
1 here are cups made especially for measuring liquids, and
others that are best for dry ingredients, and there are spoons
to measure small amounts of things If you use the right tool,
measuring is easy
Measuring Liquids: Measuring cups for liquids are usual
ly glass or plastic so you can see through them, and they have
.i spout for easy pouring The measurements are marked on
the side If a recipe calls for one third cup of m ilk, slowly
pour m ilk into the measuring cup until it comes up to the one
th ird m ark t Bend down so your eye is a, the same level as
the m ark you need to reach •
Measuring Dry Ingredients: Measuring cups lor dry in
gredients are usually metal or plastic and they usually come
in sets of four These are used to measure ingredients like
Hour and sugar I he largest holds exactly one cup. the next
w ill hold one half cup, the next one third cup, and the
smallest one quarter cup The cups are usually marked, so it
measuring and why careful measuring is important in cook
ing The act of measuring, however, can lead to more than
tasty meals it can be instrumental in helping a child undei s
land fractions
V\e all know that one-half plus one fourth equals three
fourths. Hut such things are often d ifficu lt for a youngster to
grasp
Ia*t your youngster experiment to tin d o u t how many ways
there are to make one whole cup using halves, thirds and
quarters And how many cups it takes to fill his glass m ilk
his cocoa cup, a sauce pan \\ ith this sort of learning through
experimentation, your child w ill learn to understand frac
tions
m a fraction of th«* tim e it might norm ally take
The people w ho create recipes experiment a lot to get them
to taste jus, right They try all sorts of ingredients, in many
different quantities. before they are satisfied When a recipe
finally is printed in a newspaper, magazine or Ixxik, it con
tains just exactly wha, is needed
jus, enough sal,, just
enough sugar, jus, enough m ilk, jus, enough every thing
w ill tie easy ,o tell which is which
lo measure dry ingredients exactly, select the proper size
measuring cup i if you need one quarter cup of sugar, use the
cup marked >«) and fill it heaping fu ll Now take a tool w ith a
very straight edge ispatula or the straight blade of a table
knife» and level off the ingredients, so they come to the top of
the cup It a recipe calls for two-thirds of a cup of something,
you II need to use the cup marked 1-3, but use it twice If the
recipe calls for three quarters cup of something, you can use
the cups marked
and
because 4 and
equals three
quarters
I sing Measuring Spoons: When small amounts of ingre
dients are needed, measuring spoons are used These, like
measuring cups usually come in sets of four: one tablespoon,
one teaspoon,
teaspoon and
teaspoon Measuring spoons
can be used both for liquids and dry ingredients
I, you use them for liquids, pour very carefully to avoid
spills If you use them for dry ingredients, heap them fu ll and
then level them off, just as you do when you use a measuring
cup for dry ingredients. And if a recipe calls for three
quarters teaspoon, use the
teaspoon and the
teaspoon It
works just like adding fractions
O rdinarily, birds would be
welcome in most home land
scapes They hold down pes,
msec, populations by feeding
on them and many people en
joy listening ,0 tfieir chirping
and singing
However, if a vine full ot
ripe berries or grapes is in
volved. that welcome might
be worn out quickly
One effective way to keep
marauding birds away from
ripening fru its is to drape
cheesecloth or special bird
netting over the tree
