Volume Of Liquid Year 2 - Comparing

                 Misconception on capacity may arise among the students while teaching Volume of liquid especially when comparing capacity of two containers that can hold more. Students often make the comparison on height rather than its capacity.

               Volume is the amount of space something takes up. Finding the volume of a solid is as easy as measuring its sides and doing the math. But with liquid, you need to pour it into a measuring tool that is set up to measure the volume. However, with the right tools and the right knowledge, it's easy to find liquid volume.

Comparing Volume of Liquid

Learning Outcomes:  By the end of the lesson, pupils will be able to measure volume of
                                    liquids by using standard units correctly.

Prior Knowledge:    Pupils had learnt that the content of water will be determined
                                 based on their containers. The bigger containers show more
                                 volume of liquid while the smaller containers give us less
                                 volume of liquid.

Teaching Aids  :     Measuring beaker, coloured liquids, milk.

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

Procedures     :  1. Divide the pupils into group of five to do work in their
                               cooperative learning.
                           2. Group leader to be the recorder in the group
                           3. Give each group Measuring beaker, coloured liquids, milk.
                           4. They will measure the volume of liquid in each container
                               by pouring the water from the containers into the
                               measuring beaker.
                          5. A group leader record the results in the form given

                                    *• Introduce the pupils that 1 liter = 1000 milliliter

                                    • 1 liter x 1000 milliliter = 1000 milliliter

                         

ACTIVITIES 1 

( HIGH ACHIEVER )

1. Compare the volume of milk and coloured liquids.

2. Pour the milk to the measuring jug.

3. Pour the coloured liquids to the another measuring jug.

4. Compare the two  measuring jug.

5. Record the results in the table.

               

                                                                        

  

 

Liquid	Result
milk	1 litre
coloured liquid	2 litre

ACTIVITIES 2 

( LOW ACHIEVER )

  

1. Compare the volume of milk and coloured liquids.

2. Pour the milk to the measuring jug.

3. Pour the coloured liquids to the another measuring jug.

4. Fill in the blank with MORE or LESS

 

Liquid	Result
milk	LESS
coloured liquid	MORE

(b)Teaching Aids
Measuring beaker, coloured liquids

     

ACTIVITIES 3 

( HIGH ACHIEVER )

1. Compare the volume of liquids in shinny glass and wide fat glass.

2. Pour the coloured liquids to the measuring jug.

3. Compare the two  measuring jug.

4. Fill up the coloured liquid in measuring jug.

5. Two measuring jug with same volumes.

6. Record the volume to fill up in the table.



                                                                   







Container	Result
Shinny glass	500ml+500ml = 1litre
Wide fat glass	1 litre

Need to fill up 500 mililitre more to the measuring jug. 

ACTIVITIES 4 

( LOW ACHIEVER )

1. Compare the volume of liquids in shinny glass and wide fat glass.

2. Pour the coloured liquids to the measuring jug.

3. Compare the two  measuring jug.

4. Record the volume in the table. 

Container	Result
Shinny glass	500ml
Wide fat glass	1 litre

Conclusion:For this activities pupils know that volume of liquid can be measured by using metric units such milliliters and liter. They also understanding the relationship between both measurement tools.
