BEST APPLICATIONS IN TEACHING SCIENCE
BE A EUROPEAN SCHOOL TEACHER
SCIENCE
Curriculum
presented issues should be correlated with the curriculum
Methods: practical connected with a programme
project work portfolio a trip working with
a map working with
a coursebook
CHEMISTRY
School environment Chemistry lessons should be conducted
with the use of interesting methods of teaching and the teacher should impart knowledge in an accessible way
CHEMISTRY
Classroom environment
classroom should be equipped with laboratory tables, with the access to water and gas
students should have aprons the classroom should be air-conditioned modern classroom and high standard of
equipment make learning more pleasureable, interesting and effective
Teaching and learning Materials
Working in chemistry classes should be aided with various didactic materials e.g. laboratory equipment, chemical reagents, three-dimensional chemical models, laboratory glasst, laboratory scales, plates, posters, worksheets and interesting exercises.
CHEMISTRY
CHEMISTRYMethodology used in classes
There should be various methods of teaching used in class: group work, chemistry presentation, metaplan, mind mapping, pointing to a problem using gestures - drama
In order to arouse students’ interest in chemistry, better teaching results should be gained through activating methods of conducting a lesson
spectacular experiments attracts students’ interest in sciences experiments during the lesson
Carrying out an experiment by the teacher and a laboratory experiment During the lesson students should have the possibility to do a few experiments on their own-Lesson outside the classroom- especially when the topic is difficult e.g. sugar production, sewage treatmentRepeating material during the lesson can be conducted in a form of a mini chemistry olympiadLessons introducing a new issue can be done with the use of the artistic skills e.g. making a poster
Chemistry – an experiment
Aim of carrying it out the use of acquired knowledge in
practice the development of personal
interests the engagement of students into the
process of the lesson
Procedure• preparation of the experiment on the basis of the instruction. The class should be divided into groups and each of them receives the description of the experiment. If any problems arise, they should be reported to the teacher.• keeping record of the results of the experiment – each group gauges what necessary and presents it in the record• producing a theory – students search for some truths, principles which can be deduced from the comparison of the data.
• thanks to the experiment student’s ability to memorize definitions and theories increases, they connect their knowledge with some practical activity. • It is important to create a fairly easy experiment so that all of the groups are able to carry it out.
Evalution and feedback Due to the activating methods we achieve
better and better contact with students Children’s attitude towards the subject changes Students participate in the lesson more eagerly Students become more self-reliant They have some practical skills They have developed some manual skills They learned how to work in a group They are aware of possible dangers
CHEMISTRY
PhysicsTeaching and learning Materials
interactive workplaces, exhibits, an electrostatic machine
Physics
Methodology used in classes when teaching Physics, the dominating role play
the laboratory method, experimental which engages students into doing exercises, carry out interesting experiments and thanks to this they remember definitions and theories
the use of a film: TV lessons are a very attractive form of conveying information
“brainstorm” – creative problem solving method, develops creativity
lesson outside the classroom, scientific picnics, seeing interactive displays
a modern method – virtual laboratory
The Internet
Aims, usage: looking for, ordering, and the use of information from different
sources. applying informational technology effectivelyProcedure choosing the topic which will be the base for exploring the
Internet. Students search for any materials connected with the topic either at home or during the lesson.
we divide students into groups they prepare a computer presentation of what they found
In order to employ this method, we have to have an IT classroom with the Internet access at our disposal. I suggest to
use this method during the lessons on “The built of the Solar System”, “Artificial objects in the Space” and so on.
Phisics - FILMAims: learning new range of material provide students with important information in a visual form activating students’ experiences making them interested in a less fascinating topic teaching how to benefit from watching TV encouraging students to watch popular-science filmsProcedure: It is no use watching a film that is only “watched”.
Students will not remember a lot from it and the teacher will not even know if anything was interesting for them in it. That is why the time of presentation should not be longer than 20-30 minutes. While watching the film students should be given a task to do. Film should be analysed individually or in groups.
In this method some necessary organizational requirements have to be fulfilled (video availability) as well as having a collection of good videos. I used a number of video cassettes.
Physics
Evalution and feedback students can draw conclusions students are encouraged to ask questions students search for answers students start to be self-reliant students develop their own learning
strategies, generate authentic motivation and curiosity about learning
teacher sees their engagement, interest and being active
Biology School environment
Teaching Biology should take place in a property organised and equipped study
Biology
Classroom environment
Inside the study there should be models of a cell, DNA, a neuron, all made by students, exhibits of birds, flowers in windows and thematic glass-fronted display cabinets
Biology
Teaching and learning Materials models of organs, human skeleton,
interactive workplaces, aquarium for culturing water plants, optical equipment: microscopes, magnifying glasses, laboratory equipment: slides, scalpels, preparatory tools, cylinders, beakers - microscopic sections – reagents – educating plates - DVDs
BIOLOGY
Methodology used in classes lectures conducted In an accessible, easy and student-friendly
way practical lessons, developing skills Practical lessons method It is based on giving students some practical tasks that they
should do with the assistance of the teacher. It aims at acquiring the ability to use the knowledge they already have from their everyday life
has considerable importance for the intellectual development of all the students, especially for those talented ones, has student group work, groups with a diverse intellectual level of students – talented students play the role of leaders
lesson outside the classroom, going to displays, museums, making educational exploratory trips
SciencesBiology
The method of the projectbased on students’ own and active work when doing the task which comprises a part of the material taught
It has an interdisciplinary character. There have to be the particular task groups created, each of them should be given an assignment, materials and the source of information to be used
