Teaching Activity For Higher Achiever

Activity 2: For higher achiever 

Learning Area          : Measure and compare volumes of liquid.

Learning Objective  : Measure and compare volumes of liquid using standard
                                      unit.

Learning Outcome  : Pupils will be able to measure and compare volumes of 
                                      liquid using standard unit.

Resources                 : Textbook, activity book,  4 measuring cylinders and
                                      4 sets of containers.

Vocabulary               : measure, volume, liquid, standard unit, litre.

Focus                         : Record volumes of liquid in litres.

1. Teacher shows pupils the different container fill with water.

 

   

Class Lesson

1. Teacher demonstrates and explains:

(i) that a milk bottle holds 1 l of milk.

(ii) that a jug may hold the same amount of water as the milk carton.

2. Pupils should estimate the volume of liquid before investigate the volumes
    of two different containers (of different sizes) by filling the  containers with
    water using a measuring cylinder.

3. Pupils experiment with a variety of containers to measure volumes of liquid.

    They need to record their measurements in a table.

Pour the water from the jug into the measuring cylinder

Pour the water from the milk bottle into the measuring cylinder

Pour the water from the Ribena bottle into the measuring cylinder

Pour the water from the water container into the measuring cylinder

4. Engage pupils in measuring volumes of liquid using measuring cylinders.

    Make sure that they take the readings of meniscus of liquid at the eye level.

5. Pupils record the result in the table

Item	Estimate	Actual volume
Milk bottle
Ribena bottle
Water Jug
Water container

6. Have the pupils write their findings in the statement below:

    The volume of water in the milk bottle is  ________ litre.

    The volume of water in the Ribena bottle is  ________ litre.

    The volume of water in the water jug is  ________ litres.

   

    The volume of water in the water container is  ________litre.

7. Pupils made conclusion which item that can hold more volume of liquid.

8. Pupils complete the worksheet as shown :

Name : _____________                                                          Class : 2 (     )

Answer the  questions.

1. The volume of water in the jug is _________ litres.

2. The volume of water in the bottle is _________ litres.

3. The volume of water in the pail is _________ litres.

4. The volume of water in the bottle is _______    the pail.

5. The ________ holds the most water.

6. Circle the correct answer.

7. Find out the container that can hold same volume of water with the graduated cylinder.

8. Which of the following match correctly ?
