Teaching Science in Primary School

During my teaching period, I have no chance in teaching Science. However, I had taught Pelajaran Am for 2 years. Therefore, I consider myself having some teaching knowledge on Science. Similar to teaching Maths, I used various strategies to build up pupils' interests on the subject.

Most of the time, I exposed the pupils to the real life experiences to promote discovery learning. This includes:

  • Outside classroom activities. For example, topic "Tumbuh-tumbuhan" (in English, Plants), I asked the pupils to collect different types of flowers in the school compound.
  • Self activities: grow seed to see the characteristics of living things.
  • Group activities: pet fish to see the characteristics of living things.
  • Experience various taste of fruits. The pupils and I contributed some fruits and tasted them.
  • Invite specialist such as dental nurses to give talk and demonstration on how to brush teeth in proper way.
