The Basics of Science
Science in Teaching
people agree that science is about combining
between discovers and Technology's,
Through the 12 years of studying pupils learn
science briefly comparing with the whole
science. To teach science it will be better to
make it as a verb rather than noun because it
depends on acting and thinking skills, the
most proper way to teach science for the
child is to emphasize them on thinking and
make it attractive. The National Research
Council showed a standard of what kind of
different things could the child thought and
in which age.
The standards show learning science as an
inquiry which is an independent learning by
understanding and abilities. Inquiring
include the observing, inferring and
predicting skills, so to develop knowledge,
using scientific reasoning and using critical
thinking are the ways to understand,
encourage students on inquiry by assess
them understanding of the definitions,
support them, focusing on skills and
construct the disposition, inquiry-based on
exploring constructivist and active learning.
Teaching The Process of Inquiry
Primary students should at this age to develop them The science process skills pass onto
science skills to facilitate the reset years. Students three phases first, basic process
understand science by inquiry process so the teacher skills witch is observing , comparing
should be Shure about the investigations by and others, second, intermediate
discussions, reading and other activates. witch inferring and predicting,
Science process skills are the knowledge that learned finally is the advance process which
through experience which is observing, comparing, is hypnotizing and defining
measuring, classifying and communicating after
learning these skills they will be able to gather
information's, inferring and predicting. So the
students need to have a proper primary base to
move to the next skills.
Science process Skills in Inquiry
Observing is about sensing things and with them
through the 5 senses to understand the world
surrounded. Teachers should encourage and
facilitate students to observe by some stratagems
for instance asking questions because it is the first
step to collect information's and solve problems
Comparing is a skill that should to be
facilitated from the teacher to student to find
out the different and similarities of the objects
Classifying is when kids sort the things
depending on what did they observe
and to classify is to group things. Sorting
things according to them unique
chrematistic is could subset
Measuring is to put a quantify and
numbers of the observed things for
example the time, Wight and others.
The measurement divided into
standard and nonstandard measures.
Communicating is the they way to express so
using communication in science is to show the
feeling of the world.
Children connect with other to describe
phenomena, in this way teacher encourage
students by drawing, share responds of
experience and others.
Inferring is to categorize them and give them
meanings, it depends on reasonable of the
old knowledge and experience, so this
process is for middle level students
Predicting is to guess the future results according to
what did observed , so the children should have a
past experience to predict and teacher could
emphasis this by interesting guessing questions.
It is essential to develop the children understanding
of the reasons and the impacts.
Hypothesizing and variables, hypnotizing is a
senates that include if ,then, so to complete
the experiment or the investigation they should
to make hypothesizing and variables these
process are much propriate for the middle level
