TEACHING AID (II) - LOW ACHIEVER STUDENTS.

 

TITLE: Wow.. “Liquid” Burger.

In this lesson, students recognize and use the attributes of volume. They engage  in activities that promote understanding of how to measure and compare volume  using standard units and non-standard units’ correctly.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Students will: Measure volume using non standard units and standard units. Compare volume of liquids by using non-standard and standard units correctly.

PRIOR KNOWLEDGE:
Pupils had learnt how to measure volume of liquid using non-standard units and standard units.

MATERIALS:

-          Various food items flash cards labeled in ml or L.

INTRODUCTION:

 As you look around the house you can find many containers marked with an L or ml.
 These are metric units of measurement.

PROCEDURES:

1.      Give each student or pairs of students a food item with the label covered up.

2.      Then the students will estimate the capacity of each food item using the knowledge.

3.      They will then arrange the items in order from least to greatest.

4.      Before uncovering the results, the students can get into bigger groups and compare 
      their results. They will have to agree on one solution.

5.      The labels will then be uncovered and the group that is the closest wins the game.

CONCLUSION:

For this activity pupils know that volume of liquid can be read by measurement given, which means estimation by physical size not relevant with capacity volume of liquid can be hold. By using metric units such as milliliters (ml) and liters (l) we can find which contain bigger capacity volume liquid.
