Time : 9.10 a.m –10.10 a.m (60 minutes)

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.

STAGE CONTENT TEACHING AND LEARNING ACTIVITY REMARK

Induction(5 minutes)

Any examples of cube and cuboid.

o By refering textbook (cube and cuboid), pupils are asked which has more volume and less volume.

o Pupils are asked to give another example of cube and cuboid around them.

SPS :Observing, comparing, predicting, classifying.

Eliciting ideas(15 minutes)

Formula to calculate volume of solid

= length x width x height

o Teacher shows 2 boxes with different size.o Pupils study the materials shown.o Teacher asks pupils:

a) Are these boxes having same area?- Yes.- No.

b) How to measure the volume of these shapes?Expected answer:- Measure the length, width and height of the

boxes.c) What are the names of these shapes?

Expected answer:- A cube and cuboid.

o Teacher explain how to measure area by introduce the formula volume := length x width x height.

SPS : Observing, predicting, comparing.

Materials :Various size of boxes.

Restructuring ideas

( 25 minutes)

Measurement of volume of various boxes.

o Teacher divides the pupils into 7 groups.o Each group will be given various sizes of boxes.o Teacher gives instruction about the activity on how to

find out which box has the biggest volume.o Pupils carry on the activities in their groups and record

their result in the given table sheet.o The teacher will explain about what they do not

understand.

SPS :Defining operationally,making inference,measuring and using numbers

Materials :Boxes

Application of ideas

( 10 minutes)Worksheet

o Teacher gives exercises to pupils.o Discuss the answer together.

SPS : Measuring and using numbers.Material :Worksheet.

Reflection( 5 minutes)

Conclusion of the topic

o Teacher asks pupils questions based on about the topic learn before.

1. Can you guess which object has a bigger volume?(Expected answers: Yes, by measure the length, width and height of the box).

2. What have you learnt today? (Expected answer: we learnt how to measure volume of many cube and cuboid).

SPS :Predicting, classifying.
