How to Measuring and Comparing Volume of Liquid using Standard Units

Learning Activities For High Achiever Students.

Teaching Aids: Different sizes of containers, a pail of water

Vocabulary: more,less, empty half full,full

Procedures: 

Ø  Divide the pupils into group of four to do work in their cooperative learning

Ø  Appoint a student to be recorder in the group

Ø  Give each group 5 set containers of different sizes, a pail of water and two measuring cylinders ( one for milimeter and another one in mililiter)

Ø  Each groups will acquired to fill a water to every container with water

Ø  They will measuring the volume of liquid in each container by pouring the water from the containers into the measuring cylinder

Ø  Each group member is required to record the results in the form given

Ø  Teacher tell the pupils about the converter unit which ;

     1 liter = 1000 mililiter 
@ 
1 liter x 1000 mililiter= 1000 mililiter

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the lesson, pupils will be able to measure volume of liquid by using standard units correctly.

Prior Knowledge:

Pupils had learnt that the content of water will be determined based on their containers. The bigger containers more holds volume of liquid while the smaller containers give less volume of liquid.

Conclusion

For this activities pupils know that volume of liquid can be measured by using metric units such milimetres and liter. They also understanding the relationship between both measurement tools. Thus, they can also know which containers that can hold either less or more.
