L ~ tearing Objectives At the end of the lesson, you are expected to: © define science; © characterize scientists; © discuss the steps in the scientific process; © explore why some students love science and others do not; brainstorm ways on how teachers can make the teaching and learning of Science engaging for students; and characterize features and elements of an engaging science classroom. Il. Learning Activities Science is valued because it has helped in satisfying many basic human needs and improving living conditions. Advances in technology and science are transforming our world at an incredible and unimaginable pace. We cannot escape from and we cannot measure the significance of science. Science has shaped the world. Technology and the products of scientific knowledge surround us every day. Public and private policy decisions that impact every aspect of our lives are driven by scientific process and scientific evidence. The enormously complex physical world around us illustrates boundless scientific concepts. Being “science literate” has become not just an advantage but an absolute necessity in the 21st century. Science is our way of understanding the world-—its wondrous structure, natural events, interrelated elements and systems, and processes. It is an exciting and, at the same time, a useful endeavor that benefits our community and society at large. Another important goal of science has emerged during the past decades: to find a way to responsibly and ethically use natural fesources to guarantee their continuity and that of humanity itself; an endeavor and advocacy that is referred to as “sustainability.” UNITI: THE ELEMENTARY SCIENCECURRICULUM Iee Aside from sustainability movement, education could become the most im, application of science in the next decades (“Importance of Science...", 2017). t ig crucial provide humanity with a basic understanding of how science has shaped the world and fume, culation is for this reason that education institutions need to constantly equip seer educators with the tools and competence to advance science education and to engage i: earners in the love for learning and doing science.

Earth sciences consist of disciplines such as geology (the science of the earth), © Science as a set of skills - The science process skills form the foundation of scientific methods. There are six basic science process skills: observation, communication classification, measurement, inference, and prediction. These basic sils are integrated when scientists design and carry out experiments. All six basic skills are important individually as well as when they are integrated. © Science as an intellectual activity - Science is the intellectual, practical, and systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. © Science as a social activity - Science is a social activity shaped by history, institutions, beliefs, and values.
