shape of the liquid they have seen in SANV:
the worksheet given. (Appendix B) Being confident
and independent
Teacher asks pupils to weigh the syrup
in the beaker and record their findings
in the worksheet given.(Appendix B)

Teacher asks pupils to measure the

volumes of syrup by using syringe and

 record their findings in the worksheet
given.

Then, teacher asks pupils to pour out

the syrup in the syringe into the
cylinder, take the reading of volume
and then into the beaker and record the
volume of liquid in the
beaker.(Appendix B)

Teacher discuss with pupils about their

findings.
