4.0 How to Compare Volume Of Liquid

How to Compare Volume Of Liquid Using Non-Standard Units and Standard Units

Teaching Activity 2; Using non-standard units and standard units

Learning Outcomes;
Pupils will be able to measure and compare volume of liquids by using standard units and non-standard units correctly at the end of the lesson.

Previous Knowledge;
Pupils had learnt how to measure volume of liquid using non-standard units and standard units.

Teaching Aids;
Different sizes of containers,   

a measuring cylinder,

a pail of water,

Vocabulary;
more, less, empty, half full, full,

Procedures;
1. Teacher divides the pupils into group of four to do work in their cooperative learning.
2. Teacher then appoints one student to be the recorder in the group.
3. Each group of pupils are given 3 set of containers of different sizes, a pail of water and two measuring cylinders. (One for milliliter and another one for liter)
4. Then each group will fill every container with water and state which is more or less.
5. After that, they will measure the volume of liquid in each container in liter and milliliter by pouring the water from the containers into those measuring cylinders.
6. All the result will be record by the group member in the form given.

 Conclusion;

After this activity, pupils will know that volume of liquid can be measured by using non-standard units, but the result is not final. It’s just under estimation. In the other hand, using metric units such milliliters and liter we can find more accurate with the results. Teacher can also let the pupils the relationship between both measurement tools. It’s important to know how to estimate before knowing the exact way of measuring.
