Class : Year 4 As-Siddiq

Pupils : 32 pupils

Subject : Science

Topic : Measurement

Learning objective :

1. Understanding how to measure the volume of solid.

Learning outcomes :

At the end of the lesson, the pupils will be able to:

1. compare a cube and cuboid and guess which one has a bigger volume..
2. carry out a test to confirm their guesses.
3. state that volume = length X width X height.

Scientific skills :

a) science process skills : Experimenting, communicating, measuring using numbers, making inference, classifying.
b) manipulative skills : None.

Teaching aids : Measurement tool (ruler), various size of box, worksheet.

Previous knowledge : Pupils can state and show what are the length, width and height of an object.

References : Text book year 4, workbook year 4.
