High achiever pupils can learn and understand the concept better than the low achiever pupils. Therefore, teacher can ask them to create their own measuring instrument.
Learning outcomes:
To measure volume of water of the basin using different measuring instruments.
Materials:
Cylinders, marker pens, reusable containers, water, worksheets, online quiz and game.
Prior Knowledge:
Pupils have known that the standard unit for volume of liquid in the measuring cylinder is 1 litre.
Procedures:
- Divide the class into groups of three students and have them work in their cooperative groups.
- Appoint a student in the group to be the recorder.
- Pupils bring some reusable containers such as bottle of cooking oil, soft drink, shampoo, dish wash etc. Make sure all the containers are transparent, so that the pupils can see the water level.
4. Use the 1 litre measuring cylinder.
5. Fill the cylinder with water.

- Use the marker pen to write the mark of 1ℓ on the container.
Eg:
- Continue to pour water into the container and mark the water level until it is full.
Eg:
- Then, use these handmade measuring instruments to start the measuring activity.
- Teacher distributes worksheet. Pupils guess and write down volume of liquid in the worksheet before measuring activity.
