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

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.
