Pre-assessment: what do we know about volume?

Exploring

Read and think about the quote provided by Mr. James & review the vocabulary.

Think about it

Look at the two pictures and write down as many differences as you can

How are they different?

Why are they different?

 20 Minutes using CENTURY math nuggets (measuring weight)

Students will use readingeggs for 30 minutes

OR

Step 2What are the units of volume?

THINK-PAIR-SHARE

In groups of two discuss the meaning of the quote and what it means.

Look about the word contamination 

What does it mean?

How can we stop it?

 

Students watch and participate in Mr. Stan and his team's SPORTS VIDEOSStudents can read an English book of their choice and share with a family member or friend

Take a virtual tour of a hydro-electric power station.

Try to observe as much as you can

Call Ms. Zane and tell about what have you done so far

 

Students measure and estimate the liquid volume and mass of objects around them using the standard units of grams and kilograms (for mass) and millilitres and liters (for volume)

 20 Minutes using CENTURY math nuggets (measuring weight)

Students will use readingeggs for 30 minutes

OR

Step 2

I SEE - I THINK - I WONDER

Look at what you see

Think about what it means

Write down a wonder question on PADLET

Ms.Zane explains the new task

 

 Students reflect on the concept that different materials have different weight and volume which is not always connected

 Students watch and participate in Mr. Stan and his team's SPORTS VIDEOSStudents can read an English book of their choice and share with a family member or friend
Step 3

Create your own turbine using these instructions and upload a photo or video to ClassDojo
