- developing ways on how to effectively teach science, use theories to explore these
different theories and models, to help teacher teach scientific concept and process effectively
in basic education science help students learn important concepts that are related to everyday life
including important skills such as process skills critical thinking skills and life skills that are needed in
coping up with daily life activities.
Develop strong foundation in studying science and for considering science related careers in the future
