Teaching Activities

1.      High Achiever

This activity is apply to high achiever because this activity is independent and involve little guidance from teacher.

Topic

Comparing in Volume of Liquid

Level of students:

High Achiever

Time
60 minutes

Learning outcome :

Pupils should be able to compare the capacity of two containers that can hold more with little guidance from the teacher and understand the concept that the height level of water in containers do not means its more in capacity.

Teaching aids/material

A jug, a glass, beakers, syrup and several envelopes that have questions.

Step  

1.         Pupils sit in a group of four.

2.         Each group will get an envelope that contain a question that they need to solve and write the report.

Example of question:

You are needed to measure the glass that have full of syrup using graduated cylinder or beaker. Then use the glass that full in syrup and pours into the jug. Write the report in the table below and answer the followed questions.

Container	Quantity (ml)
Glass

Questions

1.      Is the amount of water in the glass are same with the water in the jug?

   ________________

2.       Draw the level of syrup that you get from the activity.

                        

3.      Is it you can add more syrup into the jug?

  ___________________

4.      Which container can hold more water?

  ___________________

Conclusion

As a conclusion, teacher asks again about the concept of volume of liquid and related with misconception that students often make comparison of height rather than its capacity.


 

2.      Low Achiever

For the low achiever, we still use contructivism approach to give freedom to them to explorer what the concept that they should be to gain. The level of activity also suitable to them because if the activity to hard they become boring and do not want to join.
