Filling Vessels

Category Details
Module Filling vessels
Teaching Hours 60-90 minutes
Grade Level/Age Range Grade 6-8
Brief Description In this module, students use real experiments and the GeoGebra applet "Filling Vessels" to investigate how the filling process differs in the graph for different vessels. Students investigate questions such as "Investigate why the water level in different vessels rises at different rates! How is the filling level related to the shape of the vessel?". The module is suitable for an introduction to functions. With the situation "Filling vessels" students learn about functional relationships of different quantities (filling quantity/ filling height) in a dynamic situation (filling process). The focus is on developing and promoting a qualitative understanding of functional relationships. There are two shortened versions (Version B and C) available. These include only real or only digital experiments. These versions should only be used if version A is not feasible.
