, QUESTION 1
1. Your PSC1501 study guide explains that science teachers think practical

(According to 1 LEARNING UNIT 1 (HCE) 1 Why practical science?)

1. Motivation

and explore further.
2. Developing Practical Skills
Engaging in practical science helps learners develop essential skills such
as observation, measurement, and experimental design. These skills are

everyday life and various professions.
Example: In a biology class, learners might learn to use a microscope to
