SCIENCE as INQUIRY

SCIENCE AS INQUIRY
• Inquiry is presented as a step beyond such process learning skills as OBSERVING, INFERRING and PREDICTING.
• INQUIRY-ORIENTED instruction, often contrasted with expository methods, reflects the constructivist model of learning.

ACTIVE LEARNING
•CONSTRUCTIVIST MODEL OF LEARNING
• The result of ongoing changes in our mental frameworks as we attempt to make meaning out of our experiences

•Plan and conduct a simple investigation
•Employ simple equipment and tools to gather data
•Used data to construct reasonable explanations
•Communicate the results of the investigation and give explanation.

DEVELOPING SCIENCE ATTITUDES USED in
INQUIRY
![Page 12: The Basics of Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032506/55ce39d8bb61eba0378b4568/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDES
• CURIOSITY – desire to know something
• SKEPTICISM – hesitate to believe everything that you see
• POSITIVE APPROACH to FAILURE and SELF-IMAGE – they will pursue dead ends, but often much more is learned in the pursuit than in the correct answer.

SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDES
• Objectivity
• Open-mindedness
• Observing Carefully
• Making Careful Conclusions
• Checking Evidence
•Willingness to Learn
• Humility

SCIENTIFIC CONTENT KNOWLEDGE and LEARNING
AND THE DEVELOPMENT of LITERACY
![Page 15: The Basics of Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032506/55ce39d8bb61eba0378b4568/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• In its early stages, literacy can be supported by giving children an opportunity to manipulate familiar and unfamiliar objects and during science experiences, children use their thinking skills to match, discriminate, sequence, describe and classify objects.

APPROPRIATE SCIENCE CONTENT
![Page 17: The Basics of Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032506/55ce39d8bb61eba0378b4568/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
APPROPRIATE SCIENCE CONTENT
The four main areas of science
• Life science
• Health science
• Physical science
• Earth and environmental science
![Page 18: The Basics of Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032506/55ce39d8bb61eba0378b4568/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
LIFE SCIENCE, PHYSICAL SCIENCE, AND EARTH AND
SPACE SCIENCE
![Page 19: The Basics of Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032506/55ce39d8bb61eba0378b4568/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
All of these content areas focus on the science facts, concepts,
principles, theories and models that are important for all students
to know, understand and use.

- types of resources
- changes in environment; and
- Science and technology in local challenges
![Page 24: The Basics of Science](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032506/55ce39d8bb61eba0378b4568/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION
• The content standard for science and technology focuses on establishing connections between the natural and designed worlds and providing opportunities for children to develop their decision-making skills, the child is expected to be able to;
- distinguish between natural objects;
- objects made by human (technological design) ; and
- to exhibit a basic understanding of science and technology.
