Teaching Aids for Liquid Measurement

Teaching Aids
Uses of kitchen utilities as Aids
Some of the suggested kitchen utilities are food container and drinking glasses. I would like to choose these materials as my teaching aids due to several reasons:
·         Food container and drinking glasses are necessary in every kitchen utilities list thus there is no problem of availability. Besides, they are available in plastic or paper-made form that reduces the risk of harm due to the fragility of glasses or bowls made of glass or ceramic.
·         It does not create burden to teacher or parents since it is already available in each houses.
·         They are available in various dimensions for a certain volume. This inadvertently enables the students to understand the concept of volume measurement in different types of similar containers.
·         Students can easily associate with such aids since they are common use item in households.

     Uses of Commercially-available Plastic-based Bottles as Aids
Some of the suggested commercially available plastic based bottles are bottled fruit juices or mineral water. I would like to choose these materials as my teaching aids due to several reasons:
·         Plastic-based bottled juices or mineral water are easily available from a mini market to large supermarket and even vendor machines.
·         They are easily available at reasonably low price and thus making it affordable as a classroom teaching aids without creating burdens for teacher or parents.
·         They are available in various dimensions for a certain volume. This inadvertently enables the student to understand the concept of volume measurement in different types of similar containers.
·         They can be recycled which is in support of government policy and at the same time create awareness among student’s regards of recycling.
