,QUESTION 1 (25)
1.1 Demonstrate your understanding of the nature of science by
commenting on how a teacher’s understanding of the nature of
science will direct their
teaching of science. (4)
1.2 Lieto (2014) states: “There are different types of concepts that build
different bodies of knowledge and [that] may contain different kinds of
representations of information (or different connections in the brain)
associated with the same concept”. Identify THREE (3) components
of scientific concepts and illustrate
how they differ, using fish as an example. (6)
1.3 From learning science through inquiry, Charlesworth & Lind (2013)
explain that “attitudes and thinking in science are the same as those
attitudes and thinking that enable people to solve daily problems”.
Critically evaluate inquiry
as a teaching approach. (7)
1.4 Language plays an important role in the learning of scientific concepts.
This means accepting the connection between teaching science and
teaching language. Show how you would integrate language to ensure
that every learner understands the scientific concept of “wind”. (8)
QUESTION 2: (25)
Read the case study.
Ms Madeline allows her learners to explore nature. Her lesson incorporates classroom teaching
and outdoor adventure to analyse the difference between living and non-living things. Her lesson
objective is to get the learners to describe what they see, touch, smell and hear in the garden.
Learners will thus begin to explore the differences between living and non-living things. She starts
her lesson by calling her learners over to a common area where they are comfortable. Using a
marker, she divides a large piece of paper into two columns. On the top of one column, she writes
Living, and on the top of the other column, she writes Non-living. She then asks her learners
what they think of when they hear the word “living”. She prompts learners by asking, "What do
living things need? What do living things do? What are some examples of living things?". She
writes down the learners’ ideas under the column entitled Living. She makes sure that the
, learners know that living describes anything that has ever been or is alive. She then asks her
learners what they think of when they hear the word “non-living”. She again prompts them by
asking, "Where do we find non-living things? What are some examples of non-living things?” She
then writes down their ideas. She follows this by explaining that the word “non-living” describes
anything that has never been and is not alive.
