Liquid Volume Measurement (Activity No.2)

ACTIVITY 2 ( Higher and Lower Achiever Group )

Topic                                      :           Volume of Liquid

Learning Area                     :           6.2 : Measuring and comparing
                                                             volumes liquid.

Learning Objective           :           6.2.1 : Measuring and comparing
                                                            volumes of liquid using non-standard
                                                            units.

Learning Outcomes          :           By the end of the learning activity,
                                                            pupils should be able to :-

1.      Measure volume of liquid using standard units.

2.      Compare volume of liquid correctly.

Materials                              :           Water, 5 different sizes and shapes of
                                                            containers.

Procedures :

1.      Refresh the pupils mind with previous lesson by calling them one at a time to read the volume of water in the beakers in front of the class.

Examples :-

2.      Remind the pupils the correct way to read the volume of liquid in a cylinder.

3.      Next, teacher shows 5 different sizes and shapes of containers.

4.      Then call the pupils one at a time to label the containers from A to E.

5.      Next, let the pupil predict which container has the most volume of water and arrange the container in ascending order.

6.      After that, divide the pupils into 5 groups. Each group will consist of high achievers and lower achiever pupils, so that they can help each others.

7.      Each members of the group will work together to fill the container given with water.

8.      Then, each group will write down the result on the chart prepared on the board.

9.      At the end, analyse the chart on the board with the pupils.

 Explains to the pupils the each of the container has different shapes and sizes, and they have different volume of water. Some time we could not assume bigger container will have more water compare to a tall container.

Liquid Volume Measurement (Using Non-Standard Units)

ACTIVITY 1 ( Higher and Lower Achiever Group )

Topic                                      :           Volume of Liquid.

Learning Area                     :           6.2 : Measuring and comparing
                                                             volumes of liquid.

Learning Objective           :           6.2.1 : Measuring and comparing
                                                             volumes of liquid using
                                                             non-standard units.

Learning Outcomes          :           By the end of the learning activity,
                                                            pupils should be able to :-

1.      Measure volume of liquid using standard units.

2.      Compare volume of liquid correctly.

Materials                              :           Water, big jugs, tins, bottles, cups.

Procedures :

1.      Teacher explains to  the pupils how to measure volume of liquid

by doing some demonstration using different sizes of container as below :-

2.      Teacher pours some water into the cylinders and guide the pupils how to read the volume of the water.

Examples :

             1000 ml / 1 litre                               500 ml

3.      Then, pupils are divided into pairs. ( high achiever pupils will paired up with the lower achiever pupils )

4.      Each pair will be given a set of material  which are :-

a.     Half a pail of water

b.     a big jug

c.     a cup

d.     a tin

e.     a bottle

5.      Each pair will be given a chart to be completed, as below :

Chart A

6.      Each pair will use the 3 different materials given to fill the big jug with water.

7.      Next, each pair will complete the chart given based on the result they have.

8.      At the end, discuss with the pupils the result they have.

9.      Teacher  will asks a few simple questions to summarise today learning activities. Examples of questions :-

a.)  What can you use to measure volume of liquid ?

b.)  Is the volume of liquid in a can same as in a bottle ?

What are the units used in measuring volume of liquid ?
