What is Science

?

Super teacher = good Science =

Scientist

Characters of good teacher

Knowledge "Being expert in your field".

Interest.

Respect.

"Good Teachers have a deep seated concern & respect for

students in class room.

Creative.

"Learning is

something Students

do not something that

is done to them"

NSES-1996

"David Ausbel": The most

important factor affect

learning is what student

already known.

If a single word had to be chosen to describe the goals of science education

during the past 30 years it would have to be Inquiry.

"Deboer 1991"

Inquiry based learning A student centered active learning

focusing on questioning, critical thinking & problem solving, it is associated with

idea

"Involve Me & I will understand".

Scientific problems.

Focus on (How we know what we know)

Evidence based.

Indirect transfer of knowledge.

Teacher`s role (facilitating).

What is Scientist? "A scientist is a person who asks questions and

tries different ways to answer them.” How do students perceptions of science & scientists influence their attitude toward learning science?

Aristo: "talk to see you"

Scientists need to keep the observations and research they do organized.

The method they use to do this is called the scientific method.

The scientific method is a process of steps that helps scientists find answers to problems or questions.

The first step in the scientific method is called the hypotheses.

The hypotheses is the scientists best guess at what will occur or happen in the experiment or thing being observed.

In order to test the hypotheses a scientist will repeat the experiment several times to see if the results are the same

or different..

If the experiment is successful the hypotheses will be predictable and repeat over and over .The scientist will attempt to explain why this

happens by

gathering data ,observing,

and looking for evidence to support the hypotheses .

If they find evidence to support the hypotheses, it may lead to the discovery of a new theory or

law of science.

The scientific method

is a process for experimentation that is used to explore observations and answer

questions .

Scientists use the scientific method to search for cause and effect relationships in nature.

Do Background Research

Rather than starting from scratch in putting together a plan for answering your question, you want to be a savvy scientist using library

and Internet research to help you find the best way to do things and insure that you

don't repeat mistakes from the past.

Construct a Hypothesis

A hypothesis is an educated guess about how things work:

You must state your hypothesis in a way that you can easily measure, and of course, your

hypothesis should be constructed in a way to help you answer your original

question.

"If _____[I do this] _____, then _____[this]_____ will happen".

Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment

Your experiment tests whether your hypothesis is true or false.

It is important for your experiment to be a fair test. You conduct a fair test by making sure that you change only one factor at a time

while keeping all other conditions the same

You should also repeat your experiments several times to make sure that the first

results weren't just an accident.

Communicate Your Results

To complete your science fair project you will communicate your results to others in a final

report and/or a display board. Professional scientists do almost exactly the

same thing by publishing their final report in a scientific journal or by presenting their results

on a poster at a scientific meeting.

Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion

Once your experiment is complete, you collect your measurements and analyze them to see

if your hypothesis is true or false.Scientists often find that their hypothesis was

false, and in such cases they will construct a new hypothesis starting the entire process of

the scientific method over again .

Even if they find that their hypothesis was true, they may want to test it again in a new way.

Steps1. Be organized!

Once you want to carry out an experiment, there are plenty of things to set up before you start.

First Step A place to work

If you want to carry out experiments successfully, you’d better set your own laboratory. You’ll need a large space to work, the most important thing you’ll need, is a large table or a working surface.

And try to set a cupboard where you’ll keep materials and equipment required for your experiments, to keep them tidy and

safe .

To set up your work area remember not to get in the way of making a mess. You must protect your work surface with a large newspaper.

And here’s how to organize your work area :

storage area Work area

Writing area

2 .keeping a record of your work

Science is like a puzzle .Every experiment and every thing you read is like a

small piece of knowledge .

You’ll need to keep a record of your work after any experiment, so that you remember what you have

learned and you create your own puzzle .You can keep your own file, where you make notes about your experiments and any other scientific data you have learned. And you may need these

records later, so make sure they are clear.

3 .Choosing your materials.At the beginning of each activity you want to do,

you must decide the materials you need. It’s better to collect everything together on your

work surface before you begin. If you have somewhere to store all your materials,

you could start a collection of materials .That way you won’t have to spend much time searching around for them when you need

them.

4 .Working safelyAlways remember that if you work carelessly, you could

hurt yourself and other people.Safety for yourself

If you’re using a sharp or heavy equipment, or using anything hot, remember to be careful with your fingers

and you hands, and be careful not to spill any hot substances on your body.

Never use the main electricity supplies. Always use a battery with the correct voltage you need.

Be extra careful not to get any powders or liquids in your eyes. If something does accidentally squirt or blow into

your eyes, rinse them immediately with lots of cold water and tell a doctor what has happened.

Teachers, could you use a little help? From finding high-quality, standards-based lessons and classroom activities, to staying on top

of the issues, to finding professional development opportunities, educators are always on the lookout for useful opportunities to

improve teaching and learning.

It's important for teachers to stay current on research and continuing education and to be aware of new and valuable resources for the

classroom. Educational resources abound both on and off the Internet, from government agencies to nonprofit organizations. So

how can you stay on top of important news without having to search everywhere? Look to sites that speak to you directly as teachers and

that are sponsored by credible and authoritative organizations.
