Strategies+for+Increasing+Achievement+in+Science

Basic Facts - Learned through textbooks and explained by teacher. Example: Lectures

Discussion & Inquiry - Applying past experiences to the lesson at hand. Example: Gravity

Using Process Skills: Observing, classifying, measuring, inferring, communicating, predicting, and experimenting to help students understand

Add motivation to learning - Making charts and tables more interesting to a student. Example: Using various methods of design. Teachers need to be aware of students' cultures; making presentations and projects with cultural and real-life relevance for students.

Experimentation: Using hands on experience to solve problems and demonstrate processes. Example: temperature, disection, molecules

Visual Aids - Teacher shoes models, posters, videos to help make ideas concrete and aid in understanding. Example: Resritory and balloon

Scientific Method - Allows student to predict outcome of experiment. Example: Science Fair / Free thinking

Teamwork - Collaborations and collective effects. Example: Lab partners help with explanation.

Teacher involvement - Homework, tests, classwork, setting objective for students to reach. Proper note taking, proper analyzation.

Technology - Internet and multimedia use for research, exploration, instruction, work. Example: powerpoint presentations

Assesment - Memorized facts - test, Concepts - lab, Performaces - teacher feedback
