Chapter 1 the need to teach about the process of Science

Introduction what were you curious about the world around when you were younger when you
are very little did you explore your hands feet fingers and toes?
When one talks about scientific knowledge it’s a very common thing about teaching basic
concepts of science content.
However aside from content of other two dimensions of scientific knowledge or process by
which science is done known as the , science process skills, and the inquisitive love of asking
questions have beside to solve problems and having respect for scientific methods of values.
Lesson 1.1 the nature of science

Science particular way of understanding the world trying to connect the past with the present
it is based on the primus that we can understand things by receiving accurate information
without the world around us our senses
Scientific way
science relies on evidence from the natural world the evidence is logically examined and
interpreted by scientists using reasoning
scientific principles
science assumes that we can learn about the world by gathering evidence using the senses and
extensions of our senses such as tools or equipment
steps in scientific method
this is a process where one carefully gathers and examines evidence by doing experiment
running test and exploring observations is an effort to answer some questions in a logical
manner.
1. Make an observation a good observation can help you to create great questions
2. ask a question
Once you observe something and are curious about it you’ll start question about it
3. do some background research find out if other people have asked the same question
before make sure you do not repeat what has been done to avoid making the same
mistake by scientist in the past.
4. make a hypothesis
it refers to an educated guess about the things work this hypothesis may not necessarily be the
correct answer but a potential explanation or answer that can be tested
5.make a prediction
you can make a prediction of my what might happen if you do something to the thing you are
curious about we predict what might happen if we do something.
6.do an experiment
this is to test your prediction you start doing the experiment then collect data gather
measurements and analyze the result.
7.Analyze data
You may put the results of your experiment in tables or graph to make it easier to analyze
8.Draw your conclusion
After analyzing your data and presenting it in tables charts or graphs you can state a conclusion
based on the evidence you cannot conclude that your experiment results are 100% correct all the
time
9.Tell people about what you found out
Communicating the results of your experiment in an oral presentation and or a written term
Lesson 1.2 teaching about 6 basic science process skills
Observation In observing we use our five senses sight smell touch taste and hearing
Communication in communicating is the process of letting other people know what you are
doing and thinking we can you communicate in speaking reading and writing
Measurementin measuring when you measure things you are actually being more precise and
observing the communicating we measure height weight length volume temperature and density
Classification when they are so many objects events and living things around us it it easier to
us study this when we classify them based on similarities differences and interrelationship that
we observe
Inference
In inferring we infer when we try to figure out why and how an event happened but we’re not
able to observe the event directly as happened in the past
Prediction
In protecting when we product we offer our best guess on what might happen in the future based
on fact or pieces of evidence we are making a forecast what we might observe in future .

Lesson 1.3 Teaching about 6 Integrated Science Process Skills

formulating and testing hypothesisIn formulating and testing hypothesis you must keep in
mind that a hypothesis is only like pieces of scaffolding which are put around a building while it
is being constructed these are taken away once building has been completed
defining operationally When you define operationally variables you give up precise meaning
of specific procedure from mismeasuring the variable this is to make sure that our investigation
is consistent for example the number of hours a person can stay awake
interpreting dataWhen we interpret data we give meaning to all data we collect first decide
how to gather the data we need to organize it in a table make charts or graphs about the data we
collect then analyze it to make how did conclusion
experimenting and
constructing models.Constructing models when we construct a model we are trying to make
visual representation of an object or concept that may lead to be small or big to observe in a
classroom are that cannot be measured directly we want to show how something looks like or
how something moves

Chapter 2 TEACHING SCIENCE

LESSON 2.1 THE DEP ED FRAMEWORK FOR TEACHING

The intended Outcome

Scientific knowledge

The conceptual framework of science education or DepEd framework has a circle divided into three parts showing the
understanding of science knowledge which includes:
Understanding and applying scientific knowledge,
Demonstrating scientific inquiry skills, and
Developing and demonstrating scientific attitudes and values.
Scientific knowledge

The conceptual framework of science education or DepEd framework has a circle divided into three parts showing the
understanding of science knowledge which includes:
Understanding and applying scientific knowledge,
Demonstrating scientific inquiry skills, and
Developing and demonstrating scientific attitudes and values.
Scientific knowledge

Science content includes topics about the human body, care and nourishment, plants, animals, ant other living things, light, the
love of asking questions (Inquisitiveness), a desire to solve problems, and respect for scientific methods and values.
Attributes Needed in Science
Five attributes necessary in science are found around the center of the framework. These are the attributes we want our students
to develop as theystudy science . These include being (1) an effective communicator, (2) a critical and creative problem solver,
(3) an informed decision maker. (4) an innovative or inventive thinker, and (5) a responsible steward of nature.
Effective communicators
Effective communicators can clearly articulate what they are thinking in verbal, nonverbal, or written form. They also know how
to listen and understand..
Critical and creative problem solvers
Critical and creative problem solvers analyze and try to solve problems in both common and uncommon innovative ways.
Informed decision makers
Informed decision makers use evidence in making sound judgments and decisions. They develop arguments, claims, and beliefs,
evaluate various points of view, synthesize information, and make connections among them.
Innovative or inventive thinkers
Innovative or inventive thinkers use various techniques in producing creative ideas, like brainstorming, and use creativity,
analysis, and evaluation in creating solutions that are tangible and useful to society. They also have the ability to work with others
and communicate well.
Responsible stewards of nature responsibly
Responsible stewards of nature responsibly use and protect the natural environment. They learn and practice conservation and
environmental sustainability.
