Lesson Introduction:
Listening Activity:
Please watch the video link below of the story entitled “Goldilocks and The Three Bears.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oUP2PFeOi8
This introduction is to get the students to begin thinking about the term capacity.
Ask students to think about the characters Mama Bear, Papa Bear, and Baby Bear for a few minutes.
Show the students the three (3) different sized bowls and ask them to choose which of these bowls would make a good bowl for Papa Bear. Ask, what makes the largest bowl a good bowl for Papa Bear?
Discuss with students which bowl would be best for Baby Bear. What makes the smallest bowl a good bowl for Baby Bear?
You will need large and small containers.
Write the vocabulary words on a sheet of paper. Read them, and have students repeat.
Hold up two different sized containers. Explain that some containers can hold more (show larger container), and other containers can hold less (show smaller container). Tell the students that when we talk about capacity, we use words like, “holds more, holds less. Capacity is a word we use to tell how much an object can hold.
Learning Activity:
You will half-gallon container filled with cereal, half – pint container filled with dry cereal, small cup
Show students the half-gallon container of cereal. This container holds this much cereal.
Show students the half-pint container of cereal. This container holds this much cereal. Another name for how much of something a container holds is called capacity. What containers do you use to hold things? Sample answer: I use a shoebox to hold crayons.
Place several empty cups on a table. Hold up the half-gallon container and the half-pint container. Tell the students that you are going to see which one holds more cereal. Pour cereal from the larger container into as many cups as the cereal will fill.
How many cups of cereal did this container fill? Sample answer: about 10 cups.
Repeat using the smaller container to fill as many cups as the cereal will fill. How many cups of cereal did this container fill? Sample answer: three cups
Which container of cereal filled more cups? Large container
Which container holds more cereal? Large container?
Which container holds less cereal? Small container.
Task: Please allow students to explore and practice skills by finding different sized containers in the house to compare. Have them identify each container using the words holds more or holds less.
