DEFINATION OF VOLUME OF LIQUID

Volume refers to the space taken up by an object itself, while capacity refers to the amount of liquid or other pourable substance a container can hold. Volume is the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object as measured in cubic units’ cubic capacity.

Capacity is the potential or suitability for holding, storing, or accommodating and the maximum amount or number that can be contained or accommodated by a jug with a one-gallon the capacity of the auditorium is that the number of people which was filled to capacity

The volume of liquid refers to the capacity of liquids in the containers. Capacity can be measured by using non standard units (more or less) and standard units in millimeters (ml) and litters (l) in the metric system. Investigations on the amount of liquids which can be filled into containers of different shapes and sizes. Exploration of capacity or volume of liquid involves manipulation of containers of various sizes that may either be collected or purchased for classroom activities. A simple way to carry out the activities are by requesting the students to collect some re-cycle products such as bottles, cans, vases, mugs and etc that are found their immediate surroundings.

Teaching aids are that improve teachers to guide their students to learn quickly and thoroughly. A teaching aid can be as simple as a chalkboard or as complex as a computer program. Hence, every individual possesses different level of intelligence that persuades them to learn in a different way. This enforces teachers to rely on these tools to explain the necessary to students with a wide variety of learning needs. Teaching aids are crucial for educators as they are the key in differentiating instructions for all types of learners.

TEACHING AID 1

The first teaching aid is called the ‘Class Capacity’. I choose this teaching aid for the high achievers. It is about to read a scale, estimating the volume. It is a user friendly program and is very suitable for year 2 pupils. From the main menu a key is mentioned for usage of this program. It is a very simple program or a teaching aid that can be used for year 2 pupils. The picture of a cylinder and the measurement scales are clearly identified.

The scales are being changed for the pupils to identify specifically. This shows that pupils are well equipped with the knowledge to state the measurement accurately. The marked division is given to identify the measurement easily. With this we can state the pupils are sure and positive with their readings. At the end of their guessing, teacher checks the answer to given the measurements.

TEACHING AID 2

The second teaching and is for the low achievers. It is very colorful and creative. This is to attract pupils to concentrate and learn the techniques of identifying the measurement accurately. There are some animation pictures while the program is on. In this teaching aid, pupils would compare the different level of the volume of liquid. Pupils need to identify the greater volume. If the answer is correct say ‘yes..you’ve done it!’ and if it is incorrect say ‘sorry..try again!’.

The pictures are very clear and pupils can easily see the difference in both the containers clearly. With this experimental process, pupils would remember the method of measuring and reading the scales correctly. Thus, it makes the teaching and learning process satisfactory.
