1. Create your own strategy of teaching science or math.

Include in your description the following:

A short description/definition of the strategy


-

Some topics suitable for the strategy


-

Materials needed in its implementation (if any)


-

2. Write a presentation and discussion part using the strategy you created.

"Being expert in your field
Interest.

Respect.
"Good Teachers have a deep seated concern and
respect for students in class room.

Creative.
If a single word had to be chosen to
describe the goals of science education
during the past 30 years it would have to
be Inquiry.

Inquiry based learning

A student-centred active learning focusing


on questioning, critical thinking & problem
solving, it is associated with idea
"Involve Me & I will understand".
Inquiry based learning

• Scientific problems.
• Focus on (How we know what we
know)
• Evidence based.
• Indirect transfer of knowledge.

What is Scientist ?

"A scientist is a person who asks


questions and tries different ways
to answer them”.

How do students perceptions of


science & scientists influence their
attitude toward learning science?
Every Young child is a small Scientist
Scientists need to keep the observations and research they do
organized.

The method they use to do this is called the scientific


method.

The scientific method is a process of steps that helps


scientists find answers to problems or questions.

The first step in the scientific method is called the


hypotheses.

The hypotheses is the scientists best guess at what will occur


or happen in the experiment or thing being observed.

In order to test the hypotheses a scientist will repeat the


experiment several
times to see if the results are the same or different..
If the experiment is successful the
hypotheses
will be predictable and repeat over and over.
The scientist will attempt to explain why this
happens by
gathering data,
observing,
and looking for evidence
to support the hypotheses.
If they find evidence to support the
hypotheses,
it may lead to the discovery of a new theory
or law of science.
The scientific method
• is a process for experimentation
that is used to explore
observations and answer
questions.

• Scientists use the scientific


method to search for cause and
effect relationships in nature.
Do Background Research

Rather than starting from scratch in putting


together a plan for answering your
question, you want to be a savvy scientist
using library and Internet research to help
you find the best way to do things and
insure that you don't repeat mistakes from
the past.
Construct a Hypothesis

A hypothesis is an educated guess about how


things work:
“If ____ [I do this] _____, then ____ this ____ will happen”.

You must state your hypothesis in a way that


you can easily measure, and of course, your
hypothesis should be constructed in a way to
help you answer your original question.
Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an
Experiment

Your experiment tests whether your


hypothesis is true or false.
It is important for your experiment to be a fair
test. You conduct a fair test by making sure
that you change only one factor at a time
while keeping all other conditions the same
You should also repeat your experiments
several times to make sure that the first
results weren't just an accident.
Communicate Your Results

To complete your science fair project


you will communicate your results to
others in a final report and/or a display
board. Professional scientists do almost
exactly the same thing by publishing
their final report in a scientific journal or
by presenting their results on a poster at
a scientific meeting.
Analyze Your Data and Draw a
Conclusion

Once your experiment is complete, you collect


your measurements and analyze them to see if
your hypothesis is true or false.
Scientists often find that their hypothesis was
false, and in such cases they will construct a
new hypothesis starting the entire process of the
scientific method over again. Even if they find
that their hypothesis was true,
they may want to test it again in a new way.
Steps
1. Be organized!

Once you want to carry out an


experiment, there are plenty
of
things to set up before you start.
First Step: A place to work
If you want to carry out experiments
successfully, you’d better set your own
laboratory. You’ll need a large space to work,
the most important thing you’ll need, is a
large table or a working surface. And try to
set a cupboard where you’ll keep materials
and equipment required for your experiments,
to keep them tidy and safe.
First Step: A place to work

To set up your work area remember


not to get in the way of making a
mess. You must protect your work
surface with a large newspaper.

WORK Storage Area


AREA Writing Area
2. keeping a record of your
work

Science is like a puzzle.


Every experiment and every thing you
read is like
a small piece of knowledge.
2. keeping a record of your
work
You’ll need to keep a record of your work after
any experiment, so that you remember what
you have learned and you create your own
puzzle. You can keep your own file, where you
make notes about your experiments and any
other scientific data you have learned. And
you may need these records later, so make
sure they are clear.
3. Choosing your materials.

At the beginning of each activity


you want to do, you must decide
the materials you need. It’s
better to collect everything
together on your work surface
before you begin.
3. Choosing your materials.

If you have somewhere to store


all your materials, you could
start a collection of materials.
That way you won’t have to
spend much time searching
around for them when you need
them.
4. Working safely

Always remember that if you work


carelessly, you could hurt yourself
and other people.
4. Working safely
Safety for yourself
If you’re using a sharp or heavy equipment, or using
anything hot, remember to be careful with your
fingers and you hands, and be careful not to spill
any hot substances on your body. Never use the
main electricity supplies. Always use a
battery with the correct voltage you need. Be extra
careful not to get any powders or liquids in your
eyes. If something does accidentally squirt or blow
into your eyes, rinse them immediately with lots of
cold water and tell a doctor what has happened.
ADD - ONS
Teachers, could you use a little help? From
finding high-quality, standards-based lessons
and classroom activities, to staying on top of
the issues, to finding professional development
opportunities, educators are always on the
lookout for useful opportunities to improve
teaching and learning. It's important for
teachers to stay current on research and
continuing education and to be aware of new
and valuable resources for the classroom.
