4. These activities, often following (1), are designed to allow students to manipulate things and their surroundings while investigating and exploring the phenomenon that is the focus of the class.
5. Type of Activity Devices That Are Used To Overcome Human Limitations Target Year 4Purpose of ActivityTo investigate different devices those are used to overcome human limitations.Activity Logistics (Materials)Pictures of devices that can help to overcome human limitations, cardboard, a few pieces of coloured paper.Science Process SkillObserving, communicating, classifying. Activities Pupils divided into groups.They need to cut out the pictures of devices that are used to overcome human limitations. Write the following sentences on each page of white paper:Devices which can overcome limitations of the eyes.Devices which can overcome limitations of the ears.Devices which can overcome limitations of the legs.Devices which can overcome limitations of the hands.Devices which can overcome limitations of the brain. Pupils need to classify each picture according to their function in overcome human limitations.They have to make a folio from above activity.Teacher asks student to complete mind map that shows the devices to overcome human limitations for the conclusion of the lesson.
9. Activities that allow students to work cooperatively and combine ideas:
10. These activities are where the students pool their ideas and efforts in exploring the focus phenomenon. They plan, perform and observe the results of experiments together and then come up with reports that they write together.
11.
12. This is where the teacher plays an important role. He or she can provide the scientific input or direct the students to the appropriate scientific input, then help link the information to the observations the students made.
