Filling and Lifting
This chapter focuses on understanding volume, capacity, weight, and comparison of objects based on their sizes and weights. It includes activities that involve pouring liquids into different vessels to understand their capacity, comparing weights of objects, and using pan-balance to measure weights without weights.
We Already Know
- Understanding different sizes of vessels
- Comparing capacity of vessels
- Measuring weights using a pan-balance
We will learn in this chapter
- Comparing weights without weights
- Measuring capacity using different vessels
- Estimating weights of objects
Comparing Capacity of Vessels
Children will learn to compare the capacity of vessels by pouring liquids into different sized vessels and understanding how much each can hold.
- Guessing how many small bowls can fill a glass
- Pouring water to compare the capacity of a glass and a bottle
Estimating Weights of Objects
Children will learn to estimate the weights of objects without using standard weights but by using other objects as references.
- Using matchboxes filled with sand to weigh objects
- Comparing the weights of different objects using a pan-balance
Comparing Weights Using Pan-Balance
Children will understand how to compare weights of objects by using a pan-balance and different weights like coins or erasers.
- Balancing objects using coins on a pan-balance
- Identifying objects heavier or lighter than a given reference weight

▶️ Understanding Volume and Weight
In this video, we will learn how to compare the capacity of different vessels and estimate weights of objects without standard weights. We will also explore how a pan-balance can be used to compare weights effectively.
▶️ Measuring Capacity and Weight in Fun Ways
Watch this video to engage in interactive activities that demonstrate how to estimate capacities and weights of various objects using simple tools and comparisons.
