, Question 1
1.1 demonstrate your understanding of these reasons by explaining each reason and apply
practical examples where they are evident.
Enhancing understanding of theoretical concepts: practical science helps students
grasp complex theoretical ideas by applying them in real-world scenarios.
Example: Demonstrating the concept of buoyancy by conducting an experiment
where different objects float or sink in water based on their densities.
Developing critical thinking skills: practical science encourages students to analyse
data, draw conclusions, and think critically about experimental outcomes.
Example: students investigating the relationship between light intensity and plant
growth to understand the scientific method and draw conclusion from their findings.
Fostering curiosity and interest in science: Hands-on experiences spark curiosity and
ignite a passion for learning more about scientific phenomena.
Example: observing the process of photosynthesis in plants to instill wonder and
curiosity about how plants convert sunlight into energy.
Promoting teamwork and collaboration: practical science activities often require
teamwork, promoting communication and collaboration skills.
Example: group experiments where students work together to design and conduct an
investigation on the effect of different variables on plant growth.
1.2 Supply five reasons why teachers might leave practical science out in their teaching to
demonstrate your understanding of it.
Time constraints: teachers may feel pressured to cover a vast amount of theoretical
content within limited class time, leaving little room for practical activities.
Lack of resources: schools have have limited budgets or inadequate facilities to
support hands-on experiments, making it challenging for teachers to incorporate
practical science.
Safety concerns: some experiments in practical science may involve hazardous
materials or equipment, leading teachers to prioritize student safety by avoiding such
activities.
Emphasis on standardized testing: Teachers may focus more on preparing students for
standardized tests that prioritize theoretical knowledge over practical skills, leading to
a neglect of hands-on activities.
Teacher Expertise and Training: Educators who lack confidence or training in
conducting practical science experiments may opt to avoid them to prevent potential
mistakes or accidents.
