ACTIVITY 2

    Objectives:

i) To measure volumes of liquid using non-standard units (without scale measurement)

ii) To make students understands how to measure volumes of liquid

Materials:

i) A large amount of water (small pale, enough to fill the containers)

ii) Small containers with different sizes

iii) Table

Procedures:

i) Divide the class, High Achiever and Low Achiever students.

ii) High Achiever students will be naming as Team H and Team L for Low Achiever students.

iii) Each team has 4 students.

x)  Ask Team L to follow what Team H do.

xi) Ask Team H to repeat for the other containers follow by Team L.

   xii) Ask the students record their information in the table given:

Container	Bottle	Glass
Estimate
Measurement

 

xiii) Ask the students at each Team H and L write their information.

The volume of water in the water pale is the same as the capacity of …………bottles.

The volume of water in the water pale is the same as the capacity of ………..glasses.

ixx) Ask the students to discuss on the two containers (bottle, glass) and let the students know and understand which one has the smallest capacity.
