This document provides guidance on teaching science to young children. It emphasizes using clear and simple language to explain concepts, building on students' prior knowledge and experiences, and providing hands-on learning opportunities to engage students and improve their understanding. It also stresses varying teaching techniques to maintain students' short attention spans. Music can aid science teaching by affecting moods and brain activity in ways that stimulate thinking. Brain-based learning principles include that learning engages the entire brain physiology, is developmental, and involves both conscious and unconscious processes.

1. How the teacher teaches Science?
When you teach science to young children, it is important to have a clear goal.
Teaching science, therefore, requires an ability to explain these complex
connections in simple language, using methods that spark and retain a child's
interest. When explaining science to young children, base your teaching on what
they already know from experience, and seek to build upon that knowledge base.
And provide children with opportunities for hands-on experience to improve their
grasp of the subject. Children have a short attention span and find repetition boring.
Vary the techniques you use to teach science so as to hold their interest.
2. Design integrative teaching in Science?
LESSON PLAN
For KINDER
Integration in Science and Health, English, Arts and Values Education
I – Objective
 Identify the body of animals and their functions
Values; Kindness
II- Subject Matter
Parts of Animals and their functions
III- Procedure
A- Preliminary Activities
I. Review:
Show picture of animals. Ask the children to give the sound they make.
II. Motivation:
Have the pupil recall our five senses. What are their functions?
Do animals have the same senses?

2. B- Developmental Activities
1. Presentation:
Show pictures of animals and let pupils identify their body parts.
2. Group Activity :
a. Divide pupils into three groups
b. Set standards
c. Let pupils answer and perform the activity
Activity:
1. Distribute the picture
Cat will be assigned for group 1

3. Dog for group II
Bird for group III
2. Observe the animals in the picture
3. Fill up the table below
Animal Parts Functions

4. d. Group Report- one representative for each group
3. Discussion:
What are the parts of common animals?
4. Generalization:
What do animals have? Do these parts have functions?
5. Application:
Draw and label the parts of these animals
a. Bird
b. Butterfly

5. c. Dog
IV. Evaluation
Write the body parts of animals in the chart
Animals Parts
1. cat
2. horse
3. monkey
4. chick
V. Assignment
Draw your favorite pet at home.
3 How music important in teaching science?
Music is important in teaching science because music is known to affect our
feelings and energy levels. It can prompt memories, enhance brain activity and
stimulate the mind.

12. The brain is social
brain
1. Brain is parallel processor
2. Learning engages the entire
physiology@
3. Learning is
developmental
4. Each brain is unique
5. Every brain perceives and creates parts and
whole simultaneously
6. Learning involves conscious
and unconscious process
11. We can organize memory in different
ways
10. The search for meaning occurs through
patterning
9. Learning is enhanced by challenge
and inhibited by threat
8. Emotions are critical to
learning
7. The search for meaning
is innate
