Which container holds the most? Which container holds the least? o What will we use to measure the water? Why did you choose that? o What happened to the water when the fabric/sponge was added? Did the water level decrease? Why does this happen? Where did the water go? o What occurs differently when tin foil is added?
Questioning is important to build the child's understanding. By answering questions children get to hear the strength of their own knowledge (Crowe and Stanford, 2010).
Problem Solving:
Activity One: The children will engage with a variety of measuring utensils (spoons, buckets, cups, egg cups, measuring jugs, glasses, water bottles). They children will work in groups to answer the question 'What is the best utensil for measuring small quantities or water? large quantities of water?'
Activity Two: The children will engage with two containers of different sizes that hold an equal amount of water. The children will engage with the containers and be asked the question 'Which container holds more water?'. Children of this age will fall into Piaget's preoperational stage therefore this activity will be challenging. However I think it will challenge the children to think and develop thinking common to Piaget's concrete operational stage. At age five, the children should be in the preoperational stage. They should not reach the concrete operational stage until age
