3. Get started! Answer what comes in your mind first???

4. Quick response questions.. What exists? And what not? Why clouds are black when rain? Which of the light is fastest among seven colors? Why we have two eyes instead of only one? Why a helicopter can be stationary and not an aeroplane ? Why goggles are usually black? 01 02 03 04 05 06

5. Fill in the blank with one word! Teaching Science is ________________ Applying pedagogical techniques in classrooms are _______________ Practical work in Science lessons are ______________ Teaching abstract ideas to students are _______________ “Plants get their food from soil” Correcting misconceptions are ______________ Delivering a lecture by incorporating useful practice sessions and engaging way of imparting the knowledge of theoretical concepts and content is _____________________ Seeing the students excel in science lesson is _______________ Satisfying

6. What is Pedagogy? Pedagogy is the science and art of teaching. It is the study and practice of how best to teach. “ “ It has been derived from a Greek word “pedagogue” It roughly translates as ‘leader of children’, and is used to describe someone who guides children and tutors them, not solely in an academic sense but in moral and spiritual aspects too.”

7. Pedagogy Includes Pedagogy revolves around planning, delivering and evaluating of the subject matter resulting in behavioral change of the learner. It is a recipe which includes: Teaching affects the whole behaviour of the child. Teaching must result in knowledge, Skills and Attitude. 01 02 03 04 05 S T R T E G I E S M E T H O D O L O G Y A P P R O A C H E S A I D S TECHNIQUES

8. Strategies It is the mental model in our head to attain the objective Strategies are decided by content, curriculum/ substance. Includes: Explanatory Exploratory Flipped classrooms (Assign homework as a classwork) Metacognition (thinking about thinking) Constructivism (learners construct knowledge Experential

9. Teaching Approaches There are various approaches to pedagogy which aim to support learners through their journey so they can achieve the maximum outcome. Approaches are basically divided into three forms teacher centered, student centered and objective centered Liberationism (education as a discovery process) Behaviourism Inquiry based approach Constructivism (learners construct knowledge Collaborative approach

10. Teaching Methods A series of related and progressive acts performed by students and teachers for systematic representation of contents based upon a selected approach Some of the teaching methods in Science Pedagogy include the following Lecture Method Discussion Method Demonstration Method Project Method Laboratory method Problem Solving Method

11. Teaching Techniques Techniques are specific activities manifested in classrooms that are consistent with a particular method and approach as well. Techniques are skillful execution of the plans: Similarities and differences, classification Concept Mapping Role plays Summarizing, note taking Mnemonics (Kids prefer cheese over fried green spinach) Examples and illustrations

12. Teaching Aids Physical Aids that help in display of your teaching content and methodology Interactive boards Electronic devices like TV, Computers, Mobiles Audio-visual aids Outdoor activities Hardware/software

13. The Great Science Lesson Is Teaching Science this much simple? Is there any pedagogical strategy that works in all contexts? Answer is NO

14. The Great Science Lesson Argumentation Making Science understandable and relatable Practical work in Science lessons Literacy Using Drama develop strategies to support effective teaching and learning in science lessons.

15. Making Science Understandable And Relatable to real life I know what a cat is because I have seen and stroked a cat. But how do you experience natural selection or translation ? Students will perceive and observe in a selective way based upon previous knowledge Limited storage in working memory Retrieval. Much of what is retrieved from the long term memory is in fact wrong (misconceptions), or at least not scientifically acceptable

16. Literacy Argumentation Literacy in Science is not the same as scientific literacy, but the two are interconnected Ways to support good argumentation in Lessons. Present students with competing theories . They must consider the evidence for and against

17. Drama Practical work to teach the principles of scientific inquiry to improve understanding of theory through practical experience to teach specific practical skills, to motivate and engage students to develop higher level skills and attributes such as communication, teamwork and perseverance help model abstract ideas that can’t normally be seen, help students create meaning help teachers see what students are thinking

18. ACTIVITY Plan an activity using any of the pedagogical strategy, methods and approach. Each group will choose any topic from the given topics. State clear objectives, and steps how will you carry out the lesson using the different techniques and aids. Cell parts/Cell organelles Parts of flower Solar System States of matter Light travels in straight line Ecosystems Chemical Reactions White light is made up of seven colors Order of classification
