*Estimated Time : 1 hour
*Materials/ Resources needed:
# Weighing pan with measures of 1 kg, 500gm, 250gm and 100gm and 50gm.
# Digital scale
# Postal scale.
# Measuring cans of 1 litre, 500ml, 250 ml, 100ml,
# Measuring tape, Ruler.
# Watch or stop clock.
# Paper and pen.
*Prerequisites/Instructions, if any
# The students should have been introduced to the concept of formal measurements by conducting an activity on using standard measuring instruments.
# They should understand the importance of standard measurements and distinction between standard and non-standard units of measurements.
# They should be well versed with standard units and subunits.
# They should know unit conversions.
# They should have the skill of measuring and recording accurately.
# They should be aware that comparisons can be made only between similar measuring units.
*Multimedia resources
*Website interactives/ links/ / Geogebra Applets
*Process:
# The idea here is to inculde several measuring units for practise.
# Initially instruct the students regarding the activity and its purpose.
# Group students into 3 in each.
# The teacher shall make packets of things as treasure and hide them in the school premises.
# The students shall pick chits containing clues to hunt and find the packets.
# 30 minutes is given to search.
# The students search packets and come back to classroom.
# The packets may contain cloth, ribbons, ropes, water, fruits, ingredients , vegetable , books , juice, stamps,envelops or any such measurable items.
# The students have to quickly decide which measuring mode they are going to use, measure and record their findings.
# They also have to measure the distance at which they found each and record the time taken to search.
*Developmental Questions:
Ask the students to write on
# What treasures did they find ?
# At what distance did they find ?
# How much time did they take to find ?
# What measuring instruments did they use ?, why ?
# How will they tabulate their results ?
# Can you list the purpose of each ?
*Evaluation
# The teacher should analyse the students skill of documentation.
*Question Corner:
# What are standard the units of length ?
# What are the standard units of weight ?
# How are liquids measured ?
