conducting a series of chemical reactions, science shapes our understanding of the world
whether it's toasting bread or brewing coffee and empowers us to make informed decisions

 01
The role of
science in
everyday life
How present is it in our daily lives?
 It’s experiment
time!
By conducting experiments, students move beyond
theoretical learning and experience science in action.
Here are three examples for your class:
● The egg drop
● Homemade lava lamp
● Invisible ink with lemon juice

These hands-on activities not only make lessons more

engaging but also foster a deeper understanding of
scientific concepts
Understanding the scientific process

Understanding Applying

The scientific process begins with The application doesn't end at

observing a phenomenon and asking conclusion. If the results support the
questions about it. This leads to hypothesis, further tests might be
formulating a hypothesis, which is an conducted for validation. If they don't,
educated guess that can be tested. After the hypothesis may need to be revised.
