Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the concepts of full, half full, nearly empty, and nearly full.
  • Accurately represent different water levels in containers.

How the Activity Works:

Students are presented with containers and labels. They are tasked with drawing the correct amount of water in each container to match the labels: ‘full’, ‘half full’, ‘nearly empty’, and ‘nearly full’. This activity helps students grasp basic volume concepts and visualise the relative amounts of liquid in a simple, hands-on way.
