- Experimenting
- Interpreting data
- Formulating Models
-
3 HOTS
- Critical thinking
- Creative Thinking
- Problem Solving
-
using senses to gather information about the object/event.
Observing
-
grouping objects into categories based on the properties/criteria.
Classifying
-
using words/graphic symbols to describe an action, object or event. ,done in either oral or written form.
Communicating
-
using both non-standard or standard measures or estimates to describe the dimensions of an object or event.
Measuring
-
a measuring device is used (standard or non-standard)
Measuring
-
to state the outcomes of a future event based on a pattern of evidence.
Predicting
-
making an educational guess about an object based on previously gathered data or information.
Inferring
-
stating the expected outcome of an experiment.
Formulating hypothesis
-
intelligent guess of what will happen in the experiment.
Formulating hypothesis
-
being able to identify variables that can affect an experimental outcomes, keeping most constant while manipulating only the independent variable.
Controlling Variables
-
are conditions, factors or elements that are varied that may influence or affect the experiment.
Variables -
-
making a definition that is specifically applicable to the activity or how it shall be done.
Defining operationally
-
testing the variables and proving the hypothesis to be true or not. , conclusion is arrived at.
Experimenting
-
Correct interpretation shall be made in order to give meaning to the data gathered.
5. Interpreting data
-
Models can be made with the help of different science processes, Models are either mental or physical model of processes or events
6. Formulating Models
-
It involves learners to do science when given the opportunities to:explore possible solutions;make explanations for the phenomena under study;elaborate explanation on the concepts and processes; make assessment of how these are understood based on available evidences.
Inquiry based Science
