Question 1
Practical activities are fundamental in science education as they provide hands-on
experiences that reinforce theoretical learning. The three main types of practical
activities are demonstrations, experiments, and practical investigations. Each type
offers unique benefits and involves different roles for both teachers and students.
Demonstrations
Demonstrations are teacher-led activities where the instructor showcases a scientific
principle or phenomenon to the students. These activities are designed to visually and
contextually explain complex concepts that might be challenging to understand through
textbooks alone.
Example
Demonstrating the reaction of potassium permanganate with glycerin to produce a
spontaneous ignition.
Role of the Learner
In demonstrations, learners are active observers. They watch closely, take notes, and
engage with the content through questions and discussions. This passive participation
helps them understand and visualize scientific concepts.
Role of the Teacher
The teacher’s role is to meticulously prepare and execute the demonstration, ensuring
all safety protocols are followed. The teacher explains each step, highlights key points,
and answers questions from students to clarify any doubts.
Important Element
The effectiveness of a demonstration hinges on clear communication and visibility. The
teacher must ensure that all students can see the experiment and understand the
scientific concepts being demonstrated.
