TEACHING ACTIVITIES FOR TEACHING AID (II) - HIGH ACHIEVER STUDENTS.

TEACHING ACTIVITIES FOR:-

TEACHING AID (II) – HIGH ACHIEVER STUDENTS.

 

TITLE: LIQUID FAIRY DREAM LAND

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.
-          Different sizes of containers.
-          2 measuring cylinders.
-          A pail of water.

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

ACTIVITY I: Oops..Which Biggest?!
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.

ACTIVITY II: Booms..ML Vs. Liter
1.      Divide the pupils into a pair to do work in their cooperative learning.
2.      Appoint one student to be the recorder in the group.
3.      Give each group three set of containers of different sizes, a pail of water and
      two measuring cylinders. (One for milliliter and another one for liter).
4.      Each group will fill every container with water and state which is more or less.
5.      Then, they will measure the volume of liquid in each container in liter and milliliter 
      by pouring the water from the containers into those measuring cylinders.
6.      A group member records the results in the form given.

Conclusion:

For these activities pupils knows that volume of liquid can be measured by using non-standard units, but the results just under estimation. By using metric units such milliliters and liters we can find more accurate with the results.
