Lesson Plan Standard 2 (Maths-Measuring Water)

Learning Outcomes for Measuring Water:

  1. Students are able to differentiate the method of measuring water amount using the eye and a measuring instrument.
  2. Students are able to detect the errors and the mistake in looking at the height of water level to decide on the water mass.
  3. Students are able to link what has been taught to the real life and apply on how much plain water should be added to a syrup for good measurement
  4. Students are able to mix liquid ingredients correctly for preparing a beverage or drinks.
Introduction to the Assignment
Measuring liquid using a person’s sense is not accurate without using the standard measuring tool. Students measure liquid in a liquid container and they look from the sides. They will see the difference in terms of width and height of the container.
Using a uniformed, non-standard cup to measure liquid content and using teapot a mug and lining them all up to show pupils. The pupils are asked on which container they perceive would hold more water. We use the plastic cup to determine the amount. The lesson here is when determining volume, we must measure them, at least  by using the same cup for all containers.
Use a cup to pour water into your 1 litre container until it is filled to the 1 litre mark. How many cups are needed?
The students are taught on the terms that are going to be used . They are introduced to ‘full’, half full and empty. Take for example a jug and a glass of water, which one holds more water than the other ? The pupils will decipher it based on the size, height and their previous knowledge.
The teaching is based on the HSP, and pupils learn based on their experience, they relate with their knowledge, and the teacher must know the pupils’ knowledge by asking them the things they know in the set induction.
One method to teach liquid content of a container is by comparison of two or more liquid containers of different size and height, using standard uniformed cup. First the students guess the liquid volume of container A and B. Second, they are given the time to measure both liquid content of container A and B. It proves that height do not determine the liquid volume.
Students are taught that height does not determine liquid volume. Why do the students base on height, this is because they look at the container from the sides.

Worksheets are essential for the pupils as they become the training ground for pupils to deepen their understanding. By using pictures, pupils fill in the cup with the amount of water required by the partner.

The Master Plan:

Same volume, same height,
Same volume, different height

Different volume, same height,
Different volume, different height.

(The students are divided into a 5-member group. Prior to the class, each group is asked to bring 3 water containers, each with different size from one another. Task no . 1, it does not require much lesson on height, the groups bring containers that has standard side lines, and not like that of a bottle )
Activities:
Teacher elicits information from students on how do they measure water or liquid.
  1. Students are asked on how do they prepare drinks at home, and how do they determine the amount of water to be added to prepare a good taste beverage.
  2. They fill in their 3 containers with three cups of water each. It shows that the height of water in each container varies.
  3. They are asked on the amount of water, how many cups are put into each, and they write their answers in the attachment given.
(This shows that the amount is not shown by the water height. The aim is to prove that even though the water level of a container is higher, they actually have the same water amount. )
  1. Teacher brings to them three similar containers and teacher fills them with water.
(When they learn this, they are shown the water containers suitable for the outcomes, so they are not trained to tell the water amount based on perception
  1.  Students are given time to guess how many cups of water are put into each containers, and they write down their guesses in the worksheet.
  2. They are asked to compare the amount for the three containers, and use the sheet:
