Volume of liquid refers to the capacity of liquids in the containers. Capacity can be measured by using non standard units (more or less and in standard units in milimetres (ml)and liter (l) in the metres system .investigations amount of liquids which can be poured between containers of different shapes and izes. Exploration of capacity or volume of liquid involves manipulation of containers or various sizes that may either be collected or purchased for classroom activities. A cheap way to do the activities is to have your student collect some containers such as mineral water, bottles, soft drink case vases ewhich etc which can be found around them.
Teacher can display those collections of containers in a learning centre for students to explore capacity measurement. Every learning centre should have a least a standard graduated measuring cylinder in litres and milimetres. This is to enable the students to measure volume of liquids especially in standard units.
Although, there are common misconception among students in the area of the volume and capacity especially when comparing capacity of two containers that can hold more. For easier learning, teacher can introducing the concepts of volume of liquid by doing the warm-up activity. Before the session, students will need to copy and and cut out the capacity cards.
