ACTIVITY 1.2.

The Scientific Irony

 Science is a very exciting subject and process, but why do teachers have difficulty engaging all
the students in learning and doing science? In pair of triad, reflect on this question. Write the
reasons why the students love learning and doing science in the first column and the reasons
for their disinterest in the thid column. In the second column titled BUT, write the
manifestations of the students’ disinterest in the subject. Follow the format below.

Lesson 3
A. ACTIVATE

Activity A.1.

1. What is the overall goal of basic education science?

It aims to develop scientific literacy among the Filipino learners that will
prepare them to be active and engaged citizens in the society.

2. What is the content of the science curriculum?

Science content and science processes are linked in the K-12 curriculum.
Organizing the curriculum around situations and problems that challenge
the learner’s curiosity motivates them to learn and appreciate science.

3. How is the content of the science curriculum organized?

The curriculum is designed around the three domains of learning science
understanding and applying scientific knowledge in local setting as well
as global context, performing scientific processes and skills, and
developing and demonstrating scientific attitudes and values.
