LESSON 1 To 3 SCIENCE
LESSON 1 To 3 SCIENCE
NATURE OF SCIENCE
HANDS HEART
Scientific attitudes and values that Science teaching
wants to integrate
1. Constructivist principles
2. Discovery Principles
3. Brain-based Principles
4. Collaborative Principles
5. Multiple Intelligences and Learning Styles
THE INQUIRY-BASED
APPROACH
Essential features of Inquiry
1. Learner engages in scientifically-oriented question.
2. Learner gives priority to evidence in responding to
question.
3. Learner formulates explanation from evidence.
4. Learner connects explanations to scientific evidence.
5. Learner communicates and justifies explanation.
Different Levels of Inquiry in the
Classroom
OPEN
GUIDED
STRUCTURED
Science is a process. Teachers are advised to
teach Science by doing science not only by
knowing science
