Question 1
1. There are several types of practical activities. Demonstrate your understanding of
demonstrations, experiments and practical investigations. The information should include the
following:
Supplying an example of each practical activity
The role of the learner during each practical activity
The role of the teacher during each practical activity
An important element of each practical activity to consider
Practical activities in science education are crucial for fostering understanding and engagement
among learners. Here, we explore three types of practical activities: demonstrations, experiments,
and practical investigations, highlighting examples, the roles of learners and teachers, and key
considerations for each.
Demonstrations
Grade 10 Physical Sciences: Use a ripple tank to demonstrate constructive and destructive
interference of two pulses.
Role of the Learner:
Learners observe the demonstration and take notes.
They ask and answer questions to clarify their understanding.
They may record observations or measurements as directed by the teacher.
Role of the Teacher:
The teacher prepares and conducts the demonstration with a clear purpose.
They guide learners' attention to specific techniques, potential difficulties, and safety
considerations.
The teacher ensures visibility and engagement, especially in larger classes.
Important Element:
Visibility: Ensuring all learners can clearly see and understand the demonstration is crucial,
especially in large classes.
Experiments
Grade 10 Physical Sciences: Conduct an experiment to verify the conservation of matter.
Role of the Learner:
Learners follow detailed instructions to carry out the experiment.
They make observations, record data, and analyze the results.
Learners often work in groups, fostering collaboration and practical skill development.
