Numeracy
Topic: Measurement – Compare Capacity
Objective: The student should be able to:
• Compare the capacity of two objects to determine holds more and holds less.
Developing Vocabulary: capacity, holds less, holds more,
Lesson Introduction:
Listening Activity:
Please watch the video link below of the read-aloud story “Room for Ripley” by Stuart J. Murphy
Ask the following questions to review:
• How much water was in the tank at first?
• Was the water enough for Ripley? Why?
• Why did Carlos add more water?
• Is a pint more or less than a quart?
Learning Activity:
You will need a measuring cup and a large jar container.
Based on the read-aloud story, give students a measuring cup and a large jar or container. Have students estimate how many cups of water it will take to fill the jar and then keep track of the cups as the container is filled with water.
After the container is filled, help students figure out the capacity of the container. Ask students the following questions:
How many cups of water did you pour in the jar before it was full?
Was it about a pint? (2cups)
Was it about a quart? (4 cups)
Was it about a gallon? (16 cups)
You will need various sized containers, including tall, narrow containers as well as wide, short containers, water/beans/ dry cereal.
Have students choose two different sized containers and dry cereal. Direct them to guess which container will hold more dry cereal and which will hold less dry cereal. Instruct students to check if their guesses were correct. Have students explain to you the relationship of the amount of dry cereal a container holds and the size of the container.
Extending Learning: Display different sizes of containers such as cups, bowls, or buckets. Explain that each container can hold things. Have students fill all of the containers with water to demonstrate, which holds more and which holds less. Point to two containers. Ask, Which one holds more/hold less? Have students explain their thinking. Ask students to check capacity by counting how many cups of water-filled each container. Then have students order the containers from less capacity to greater capacity. Discuss the size of the container and compare this to their capacity.
Task: Please complete the following:
• Draw and label a picture of something that holds more water than your water bottle.
• 2. Draw and label a picture of an object that holds less water than a fishbowl.
• 3. Which object holds more water? A bathtub or a swimming pool? Draw a picture of the object that holds more water.
• 4. Think of an object that holds more water than a water jar. Draw and label your picture.

Bible Story: Easter
Focus: The Empty Tomb
Objective: To know that Jesus is arrested, crucified, and raised from the dead before He ascends to
heaven.
Listening Time: Remind students that everyone sins. Jesus paid the price for everyone’s sins, so they would no longer be separated from God once they chose to believe in Him. Explain that today’s Bible truth will show Jesus did that because He loves them.
Please watch the video link below of the story entitled “The Empty Tomb.”
Teach students the word resurrection, which means a return to life after having been dead. Explain to students that the empty tomb showed that Jesus had victory over death.
Write Happy Ending on two different sheets of paper and help students read the message. Discuss how a story can have sad parts that lead to a happy ending. Ask students to state the sad parts of the happy ending in today’s Bible truth/story. Turn the last five-letter word over so the message reads Happy. Explains that Jesus’ resurrection is Easter’s happy ending!
Ask the following questions to review:
• Why did some leaders hate Jesus?
• What sad things happened in today’s Bible truth/story?
• What was the happy ending?
• How does a true and faithful friend feel when something good happens?
• What about when something good happens?
Learning Activity: Please complete the activity from the Bible textbook on page 114. Instruct students to draw a triangle around the pictures that show how Jesus’ friend reacted when he died, and to circle the pictures that show how Jesus’ friends reacted when they knew He was alive. Let students explain why they marked the pictures the way they did. Next, tell students to trace the sentence Jesus is alive.
