Examine the problems with this lesson when it comes to helping students develop their science process skills. How could the lesson be changed to let students actively engage and practice those skills? Refer to at least TWO (2) process skills in your answer.
Answer (1)
The lesson in Mrs. Nkosi's class could be improved by incorporating hands-on experimentation and inquiry-based learning to engage students more actively. This will help develop their science process skills, particularly in observation and hypothesis formulation. It’s essential to move beyond passive learning to foster critical thinking and scientific exploration. ;
