We can compare by:

  • A feather is lighter than a book.

πŸ§ƒ Compare Capacity

Capacity tells how much a container can hold (liquid or solids).

Words used:

  • Full / Empty / Half
  • More / Less

Compare by pouring water or using cups.

Example:

  • A bucket holds more water than a cup.
  • A glass holds less water than a jug.

⭐ Teaching Tips

Use real objects in class (bottles, books, bags).

Ask students to compare and speak:

  • β€œWhich is bigger?”
  • β€œWhich is heavier?”

Use fun activities:

  • Fill containers with water
  • Compare school items

Encourage use of correct words (bigger, smaller, heavier, lighter, more, less).
