Miniscience

  • Miniscience 1

    Extent:

    2 semesters, 15 lessons in semester, each 45 minutes

    Recommended age:

    4 to 6 years

    Description:

    In Miniscience 1 - module students develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding of biology, chemistry and physics. Students learn to develop understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science through different types of science enquiries that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them. Students are encouraged to analyse, test, try and find patterns.

    Learning objectives:

    • learn basic scientific knowledge about biology, chemistry and physics.

    • learn basic scientific terminology and concepts

    • learn to make simple tests, comparison and observations

    • learn to make up comparative and fair tests

    • learn to identify and classify information and data

    • learn to make simple measurements and analyses

    Implementation:

    Each lesson has its own theme. During each lesson there is a short theory of the theme. The goal is that each student learns the basics of the theme, terminology and theory, and is able study, observe and analyse it in practice. Each theme includes hands-on experiments and tests during which student is able to make observations, tests and analyses.

    Equipment and materials:

    STEM Science Kit basic, digital/physical STEM lesson plans and videos.

  • Miniscience 2

  • Science 1

    Extent:

    2 semesters, 15 lessons in semester, each 45 minutes

    Recommended age:

    7 to 12 years

    Description:

    In Science 1 - module students develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding of biology, chemistry and physics. Students learn to develop understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science through different types of science enquiries that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them. Students are encouraged to make analyses and tests and find patterns in their observations. They also apply their mathematical knowledge to their understanding of science, including collecting, presenting and analysing data.

    Learning objectives:

    • learn basic scientific knowledge about biology, chemistry and physics.

    • learn basic scientific terminology and concepts

    • learn abstract thinking and problem-solving

    • learn to make simple tests, comparison and observations

    • learn to make up comparative and fair tests

    • learn to identify and classify information and data

    • learn to make measurements and analyses

    • learn to apply mathematics
