To define objectives
To deal with future situations in a successful way.

Science Teaching
Overall planning of the course
Organization of course
Implementation of the course tasks
Evaluation of the course tasks

4. Overall Planning of the Course
The main areas are:
Government policy
Evaluation of science academic record
The available school resources in terms of number of science teachers, annual budget
for science and time required for each curricular or extra-curricular activities
Extra science classes in summer vacations
Allot time for students presentations
Design some activities related to daily life applications and
Provide them some information to work with low and no cost material.

5. Organization of course
After setting a target and objectives for new academic year, you will
narrow down objectives into varied tasks to from a work plan.
