  • Volume v mass - as in a ton of feathers versus a ton of lead. There will be a much bigger pile of feathers (high volume) than lead (heavy weight) the space 50 ml of cereal takes up will weigh a lot less than 50g In water, 1g weighs the same as 1ml, but it's not true for pretty much anything else. To measure it in ml would…
  • Thank you, I'd not looked at my discussions in a while and just came back to this post to see these messages. I found it really inspiring.

  • Thanks for apologising but I have to say that as a leukaemia survivor I was appalled by your original post. I developed leukaemia when I was 16. I underwent a year of chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment culminating in a bone marrow stem cell transplant from my sister. Through all that time and the recovery time…
  • If you're doing exercise and you input it on your exercise tracker it increases the number of calories that you can have that day.
