LEARNING SCIENCE
Learning science is a process that students do, and not
something that just happens to them.
Science is not only minds-on, it is ‘hands-on’ as well.”
Traditional Classroom
Silence in class
Emphasize to cover lecture
Acquire knowledge and understanding
Telling and testing
“Chalk and talk” monologue
Scientific inquiry and curiosity is never allowed to grow.
Student involvement is never emphasized.
Teachers lack the desired knowledge, skills and scientific
attitude.

Can you name your five senses?

With our eyes we can…
see colours.

things that are
near and far,
big and little.

Listen carefully now –what
do you hear?
Sounds can make us feel …
Care for ears

Hearing Problems
People sometimes must use hearing aids to help them hear .
People who are deaf hear music through vibrations.
With our nose we smell…
flowers smoke
garbage
What animal stays safe
because of our sense of smell?
Some smells remind us of things.
Most of your sense of taste is really about your sense of smell.
As you get older, your sense of smell gets worse.
Bloodhounds smell at least 1000 times better than humans.
With our mouth we can taste…
sweet bitter
sour
salty
Name the taste
Fish can taste with their fins and tail as well as
their mouth.
In general, girls have more tastebuds than boys.
With your skin you can feel…
Your skin is your largest sense organ.
There are about 100 touch receptors in each of your
fingertips.
Your sense of touch warns your brain that your body is in
danger.
Protecting your sense of touch
Using our senses together.
