Lesson Plan

Subject : science

Date : 27 Julai 2010

Time : 8.40-9.10 a.m

Class : 4 Teratai

No Of Pupils : 31 Pupils

Topic : Measurement

Student Prior Knowledge :Pupils are able to tell the difference between a cube and a
cuboid. They can identify the length, width and height
of an object .

Learning Outcome :

1. Understand how to identify the volume of a cuboid and

a cube.
2. State that the standard unit for volume in the metric
system.

Teaching And Learning Objective : At the end of this lesson student will be able to:

1. Compare a cube and a cuboid and guess which one has

the bigger volume.
2. State the volume = length x width x height
3. State the standard unit for volume of solids in the
metric system which are cubic centimeter (cm3), cubic
millimeter (mm3) and cubic metre (m3).
4. Calculate the volumes of cubes and cuboids based on
the measurements taken in standard units.

Science Process Skills :

1. Measuring and using numbers

2. Observing

Manipulative skill :

1. Handle apparatus correctly.

Thingking Skills :
 1. Attributing
2. Comparing and contrasting

Noble Values :

1. Pupils need to be honest and accurate in recording the

measurements of volume.

Teaching Aids : ruler, scissor, paper, glue, drink boxes, laptop, video and
projector.

3. Teacher introduce the topic.
Topic;
Bigger or smaller
Eliciting of 1. Teacher recall student previous TA:
idea knowledge the concept of cuboid Picture of cube and
5 minutes and cube by asking they: cuboid.

Cube has same value of Q: what is the difference between a MS:

it each width, height cube and a cuboid? Handle apparatus
and length. Q: Can you show me the length, correctly
Cuboid has different width and height?
value of it each width,
height and length. 2. Teacher show the diagram of cube
and cuboid.

Restructuring 1. Teacher divide students into 6

of idea groups.
10 minutes 2. Teacher do the activity: Comparing
the volume of cube and cuboid
3. Teacher give instruction:
 Cut the template of the
cube (4cm x 4cm x 4cm )
and cuboid (8 cm x 2cm x
4cm)
 Cut the one template of
1cm x 1cm x 1cm cube.
A cube and a cuboid  Teacher ask student to
 have same size if the predict the 1cm x 1cm x 1cm
volume if same. cubes needed to fill the 4cm
x 4cm x 4cm of cube and 8
cm x 2cm x 4cm of cuboid.
Volumeof cube and  Teacher ask student to cut
cuboid = length x width all the 1cm x 1cm x 1cm
x height cubes and try to fill the
cuboid and cube.
 Students take note the
result on the table.
4. After finish, each group present
their work on how many 1cm x 1cm
x 1cm of cube that they can put on
State the standard unit the cube and cuboid.
for volume of solids in 5. Teacher construct students ideas
the metric system
which are cubic
centimeter (cm3), cubic
millimeter (mm3) and
cubic metre (m3).

Application Cuboid and cube 1. Teacher show a few pictures of TA:

10 volume can be are used object that we can find in our daily drink boxes
to measure the volume life which is in cuboid and cube
of liquid in object. shape.
2. Teacher show the milo drink box.
3. Teacher ask student what are the
other example that they can see
around them.
4. Teacher state the noble value. NA:
Pupils need to be
honest and accurate in
recording the
measurements of
volume
Conclusion 1. Teacher ask student:
Q: what do you have learn today?
