Teaching aids 1: Understanding the water level by observing the container and Compare the capacity in non-standard container

Usually several pupils are not really able to differentiate the water level of the container. Well, this is the first step to make sure the whole groups of the pupils are understanding on the level of the volume.

  

        How the pupils understand through this lesson? For the low achiever students, teacher will prepare the activities below:

      Activities 1 :

Learning Outcomes : To make a perceptual comparison of capacity

Materials : a dispensary bottle

                 a cup

                 Three similar size drinking glass

Procedures:

1)Teacher shows a dispensary bottle ,a drinking glass and a cup ,each filled with

coloured- water ,and guides the pupils to guess the one which has the most or the

least amount of coloured-water.

2) Teacher confirm the answers by pouring the coloured-water from A and C into the drinking glass D and E having the same size as B like a picture below:

                         3) Pupils make a conclusion :

                              A cup have a most volume and  the dispensary bottle have a 

                              least volume.

4) Students doing the words sheet 1

For the high achiever students,teacher will use the teaching aid 1 to prepara the activities below:

Activities 2:

Learning Outcomes: To measure volumes of liquid using non-standard units.

Materials: a dispensary bottle

                 a cup

                 a drinking glass

                 a cylinder

Procedures:

1) Teacher picks  3 pupil to fill coloured-water into cylinders having same capacity by using  

   different measuring instruments.

                       For example:

                       Pupil A : Fills coloured- water by using a small Dispensary bottle.

                       Pupil B : Fills coloured-water by using a cup.

                       Pupil C : Fills coloured-water by using a drinking glass.

 2) Then, these pupils are asked to record, by using different measuring instruments, the 

      quantity  of coloured-water contained in the big cylinder in the following table:

 

Pupil	Measuring instrument	Number of time required to fill the cylinder
A	Dispensary bottle
B	cup
C	Drinking glass

3) Have the pupils write thier findings in the statement below:

The volume of water in the cylinder is the same as the capacity of ______dispensary bottles.

                   

The volume of water in the cylinder is the same as the capacity of ______cups.

The volume of water in the cylinder is the same as the capacity of ______glasses.

4) Based on the activity above , teacher guides the pupil to make the following conclusion:

Quantity measured will be different if different measuring instrument are used to fill 

up the  same capacity .
