Learning Outcomes;
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to measure and compare volume of liquids by using standard units
Required Material:
Measuring cylinder
Water
Vocabularies to be used;
mililitre
Procedures
1.Firstly teacher demonstrates to student how volume of liquid is measured using measuring cylinder.
2. Water in a graduated cylinder has a curved surface called the meniscus Read the volume at the bottom of the meniscus.
3. Each student in a group of 4 is given a cup full of water and 5 measuring cylinder. The students are asked to pour their cup of water into the measuring cylinder and determine the volume of water using standard unit measurement and write down on the worksheet given.
Conclusion
For these activities students will learn how to measure volume of water using both standard and non standard units. Early measurement experiences should emphasize the development of comparative language using nonstandard units of measurement. On the other hand, the standard measurement tools using scales should be included with the measurement materials for young children to explore formally.
