Measuring Volume Of Liquid : Teaching Activities (II)


In this activity, students are required to work in pairs. Each pair of students will be given two containers of fresh milk, one in packet and one in bottle. Apart from that they will be given two measuring cylinder as well.
For the first step, students need to fill up the container to the full with water. Then students have to pour the water carefully into the measuring cylinder. They need to make sure that no water is spilled. After that, each student in the group would have to record the measurement of their container. They have to compare the measurement with their partner. Then they can decide from the measurement which container has the bigger capacity.
After that, students are required to compare the height of the container. They would be able to observe that even though the containers may have the same height but they have different capacity.
