Teaching Activity A (for low achiever students)

Date    :           28 August 2010

Time    :           10:00 am ~ 10:30 am

Class    :           2G

Learning outcome       : Compare the volume of liquids by direct comparison.

Materials         : Five Plastic Bottles with different sizes and five glasses of same size

Procedures:

1.      Divide the class into groups of five students and have them work in their cooperative groups.

2.      Label the five different sizes bottles with A,B,C,D,E

3.      The bottles are fills in different volume of water.

4.      Ask students to compare and estimate the volume of the water in the bottle.

5.      Students are asked to estimate and arrange the five bottles in ascending order with the volume of water.

6.      Appoint one student in the group to record their estimation.

7.      Ask student to pour the water into five large glasses which have the same sizes.

8.      Students now can compare the volume of water in the large glasses.

9.      Students arrange the five glasses in ascending order with the volume of water.

10.      Students are then asked to record their estimation of volume and actual measurement. The comparison will make them understand the concept of liquid behaviour in different container and thus make them understand more about liquid measurement.

Container	Ascending order
Estimate (Bottles)	E,D,B,A,C
Measurement (Glasses)	E,B,D,A,C
