Detailed explanation-1: -The Concrete Operational Stage Begin to think logically about concrete events. Begin to understand the concept of conservation; that the amount of liquid in a short, wide cup is equal to that in a tall, skinny glass, for example. Thinking becomes more logical and organized, but still very concrete.

Detailed explanation-2: -A child who has mastered conservation of liquid will know that the amount of liquid-the volume-hasn’t changed. If the child points to the taller glass, ask why they think it has more water. As with all conservation tasks, feel free to explain the truth!
