The document discusses different strategies and methods for teaching science in elementary classrooms, including demonstration methods, project-based learning, thematic instruction, and computer-assisted learning. It describes key steps for using demonstration methods, such as exploration, demonstration, student performance, and evaluation phases. Project-based learning involves creating situations, selecting projects, planning, execution, and evaluation. Thematic instruction allows integrating subjects around common themes. Computer-assisted learning and virtual environments can enhance learning with technology.

we teach, maybe we should teach
the way that they learn. "

4. LEARNING STRATEGIES
As included in the curriculum teaching
BIOLOGY and CHEMISTRY have different
content areas, so it is necessary to have
a definite workplace where learners can
do activities with ease and comfort.

5. STRATEGY COMMONLY USED IN SCIENCE
1. D e m o n s t ra t i o n M e t h o d or M o d e l i n g M e t h o d
-This technique is especially
important when teaching how to do
something for it means showing to
the learners the procedure thru a
step-by-step

6. STRATEGY COMMONLY USED IN SCIENCE
Price and Nelson (2014) s ugges t s two
types of demonstration that can guide
the teacher in using this technique in
teaching SCIENCE.
a. Demonstration of Product
b. Demonstration of a Process

7. FIVE ESSENTIAL STEPS IN THE DEMOSTRATION
PERFORMANCE METHOD
1.Exploration Phase – giv ing explanation
that are more comprehensive and are
aligned to the lesson's objective.
2.Demonstration Phase – showing the
needed steps with accuracy to help
students to develop the skills
.

8. FIVE ESSENTIAL STEPS IN THE
DEMOSTRATION PERFORMANCE METHOD
3.Student Performance Phase – return
demonstration of the learners is
required to practice the skills
demonstrated by the teacher.
4.Instruction-Supervision Phase –
provision for enough time to do

DEMOSTRATION PERFORMANCE
METHOD
5. Evaluation Phase – learners
display whatever they have done.

10. 2. PROJECT-BASED METHOD
- this is a strategy where
learners acquire knowledge
through planning and
execution of practical
projects.

11. TYPES OF PROJECT-BASED METHOD
•
•
•
•
Individual Project
Group Project
Simple Project
Complex Project

12. ACCORDING TO KILPATRICK – KAUN (2014)
PROJECT CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO:
a.Constructive Project – practical or physical tasks
such as construction of article making a model and
playing drama are done in this type.
b.Aesthetic Project – appreciation powers of
learners are developed through musical program,
beautification of things and appreciation of poems
and so on.

13. ACCORDING TO KILPATRICK – KAUN (2014)
PROJECT CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO:
c. Problematic Project – develop the problem
solv ing the capacity of learners through
their experiences.
d. Drill Project – it develop mastery of
the skill and knowledge of the
learners.

14. STEPS IN PREPARING A LEARNING ACTIVITY UNDER
THE PROJECT-BASED LEARNING TECHNIQUE
1.Creating Situation – teacher tells the
method and procedure to be done.
2.Selecting the Project – apply the six
principles project method (purpose,
utility, activity, freedom, reality and
prior

15. STEPS IN PREPARING A LEARNING ACTIVITY UNDER
THE PROJECT-BASED LEARNING TECHNIQUE
3.Planning – teacher discusses
various points to the learners and
take part in the discussion .
4.Execution – select relevant facts.

16. STEPS IN PREPARING A LEARNING ACTIVITY
UNDER THE PROJECT-BASED LEARNING
TECHNIQUE
5.Evaluation – when finished, project is
evaluated by the group within themselves
and reported to the teacher.
6.Reporting – learners write each and every
step on hoe they finished the project.

17. 3. THEMATIC INSTRUCTION
Since SCIENCE deal on science skills and process,
values and life skills competencies the
teacher can use this technique to integrate
the teaching and learning of other subjects
(e.g.) MAPEH, Values Education, Araling
Panlipunan, Languages and other course )
within a theme.

18. 4. THE COMPUTER - ASSISTED LEARNING (CAL)
AND VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT (VLE)
• The use of CAL and VLE can be
used to enhance the learners
learning skills with the use of ICT
devices which surely help them
cope up with our changing
