    When you complete them, you will be very proud of yourself and will wonder why you were ever afraid of the “S” word – Science! After their first science course most students say they thoroughly enjoyed it, learned a lot of useful information relevant to their personal lives and careers, and only regret not having studied science sooner. Science is not some mystery subject comprehended only by eggheads. Science is simply a way of learning about our natural world and how it works by testing ideas and making observations. Learning about the characteristics of the natural world, how those characteristics change, and how those characteristics interact with each other make it easier to understand ourselves and our physical environment and to make the multitude of personal and global decisions that affect our lives and our planet. Plus, science credits on an academic transcript are impressive, and your science knowledge may create some unique job opportunities. All sciences revolve around the study of natural phenomena and require hands-on physical laboratory experiences to permit and encourage personal observations, discovery, creativity, and genuine learning. As increasing numbers of students embrace online and independent study courses, laboratory experiences must remain an integral part of science education. This lab manual’s author and publisher are science educators who welcome electronic technology as an effective tool to expand and…

    Brown proposes that teacher needs to know that there are rich parallels between the ways students understand ideas and the way they communicate them in both science and non-scientific practices. Bryan’s core research is investigating the brilliance that students bring to a learning environment. His idea of disaggregate instruction proposes that teacher use students’ rich contextual language in helping them develop conceptual understanding of the science ideas. Upon understanding the concepts, he proposes that students being introduced formal scientific language affiliating those ideas.…

    The additional two years for the senior high school as part of the implementation of K to 12 curriculum is another challenge that the Philippine Educational System has to endure since the requirement for more classrooms and instructional materials will have to be addressed right away. The ultimate goal of teaching is to provide appropriate and effective instruction to students and, in turn, promoting effective learning. It is henceforth expected that a Science teacher to devise and provide the essential materials to execute scientific concepts in classes, thus easing the abovementioned problems on scarce funds for science instruction. Inadequacy of instructional materials have been particularly raised by Ogbu (2015) as the main factor affecting the teaching and learning…
