    A quick search of the word peck yielded this information: A dry measure of 8 quarts; the fourth part of a bushel, equal to 537.6 cubic inches (8.81 liters), my curiosity satisfied I will sleep well tonight.

Provided by publishers of Information Please Almanacs for kids, there is much here for adults as well.

    Great educational resource; good for kids, parents, students, and teachers alike. Ton of information and well-presented. Wish we could get kids to try here first rather than hopping on Google!
