3.1 Topic 1: Measure and Compare Volume of Liquid Using Non-Standard Units

Learning outcomes:
By the end of the lesson, pupils will be able to measure and compare volume of liquids  using non-standard units .

Prior knowledge:
Pupils had learnt how to compare objects: more or less, many or a few, high or low during their previous lesson .

Teaching aids:
Different sizes and shapes of containers (jug, beaker, basin, teapot), a pail of water, cups

Vocabulary:
more, less, empty, half full, full, more than half full, less than half full.

Teaching and learning activities:
1. Divide pupils in four groups. Each group has high achiever and low achiever pupils. 

Pupils do work in their cooperative learning.
2. Appoint one pupil as a group leader to record the group result in the table.
3. Give each group 4 set of containers of different sizes and shapes (jug, beaker,

basin, teapot), a pail of water, and a small cup as the measurement tool.

4. Pupils compare volume of liquid in different containers as below:

a.       beaker and basin

b.      teapot and jug

5. Each group will record the number of cup needed to fill the water in every 

containers into the table form given.

Containers	Volume of liquid ( cupful)	Result (more / less)
a. Beaker
Basin
b. Teapot
Jug

6. Pupils do exercises according for high achiever and low achiever pupils.

Exercise 1: high achiever pupils

continue of exercise 1......

Exercise 2: low achiever pupils

Conclusion:

1.      Different containers has different capacity. Only containers have capacity. The capacity of a container is the maximum volume of liquid that it can hold.

2.      The volume of liquid will be determined based on the containers used.

3.      The volume of liquid in the different containers that have different sizes and shapes can be measure and compare by using a small cup as the measurement tool.
