Learning Objectives

Indicator: K2.6.3.1.7 - Measure, estimate and compare the capacity of different containers of water

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Estimate which container holds more or less water before pouring, using words like “more”, “less” and “same”.
Fill different containers with water and describe how many small cups fill a bigger bowl.
Compare two containers by capacity and say which one holds more water.
Order three containers from the one that holds the least water to the one that holds the most water.
Use the words “litre” and “half litre” correctly when talking about water bottles they see at home and in the classroom.
