Content Based Teaching strategies (Science) Presented by: Saherish Aqib Subject Specialist (Science)

After attending the session the participants will be able to: enlist the “teaching methodologies” to teach subject. define the term (Content-Based Instructions “CBI”). incorporate effective teaching strategies to teach Science contents at primary and elementary levels.

Ice Breaker Tell about your favourite subject and best teaching memory.

WHAT IS CONTENT-BASED INSTRUCTION?

How do you teach science in your class? Can you name some teaching methods?

Current innovative teaching methods to teach the subject of Science 1. Hands on Learning7. Mini-labs 2. Science Text Cards8. Science kit 3. Argue with Science9. Peer-to-Peer Teaching 4. Context-Based Learning 10. Field Trips 5. Remote Labs11. Science at home 6. Projects12. Build your model

Effective Teaching Strategies to deliver CBI in Science Subject Hands-on-Learning: Learning by doing is known as “Hands-on-Learning.

Activity Let test the quality of the egg.

Text cards is a good strategy to help students look at the word and understand the meaning of it. This is a science vocabulary strategy that helps students identify a concept and put a meaning with it. Students can work individually, pairs or in groups to sort the cards based on the given format. The formats include true / false, agree / disagree, matching pairs, classification, sequencing and more. Science Text Cards:

Activity Let’s solve the given science text cards.

Look at the picture below. Is heat being added to the ice or being removed? Look at the picture below. As heat is being added, what is happening to the water that is escaping? What will happen to the water if it is left in the sun for an extended amount of time? Finish the expression below.

Look at the picture below. What state of matter is this ice cube? Look at the arrow on the picture below. What process is taking place?

A scientific argument is defined as people disagreeing about scientific explanations using (evidence) to justify their side of the argument. A scientific argument is a process that scientists follow to guide their research activities. Argue with Science

A lab in every pocket is called “remote lab”. e.g. a mobile phone is a remote mini computer. Similarly our classroom resources are our remote mini scientific lab. Remote Lab Method

In this strategy pupils perform constructive activities in natural condition. A project is a list of real life that has been imparted into the school. It demands work from the pupils. When students pass-through this kind of learning, they improve their skills to express ideas, problem solving, overcoming the challenges, team work and self assessment. Project Method

Activity for You Make a glass projector in class with the help of given resources. Make a stethoscope with the help of given resources.

Peer teaching can either be defined by the relationship between teacher and student. Peer education is a term widely used to describe a range of advantages where young people from a similar age group, background, culture and/or social status educate and inform each other about a wide variety of issues. Peer-to-Peer Teaching Method

Activity Let measure the volume of the given liquids with the help of measuring cylinders.

In the middle of boring classroom sessions, take your students out for field trips to experience science while learning. Go to an aquarium, a nature centre, a science museum, or visit a pet store. You can also spend sometime with the students in the bird park or simple go on a nature walk to experience the science around while learning new concepts. Field Trips Method

Activity

Go outside to collect different kinds of leaves and paste them in your notebook. Describe them briefly.
