Preface is a series for Stages 1–6 designed to meet the requirements of the Cambridge International Examinations Primary Science curriculum framework. The series: • leverages on guided constructivist-inquiry that has been proven to be effective in fostering the learning of science • develops specific learning processes during inquiry learning. Pupils can: – create questions of their own – obtain supporting evidence to answer the questions – explain the evidence collected – connect the explanation to the knowledge obtained from the investigative process – create and communicate an argument and justification for the explanation • encourages pupils to learn actively, think critically, and develop habits of mind and attitudes which are necessary for scientific inquiry • uses spiral progression to review and expand a strong science foundation This series also ensures the coverage of all four strands of the Cambridge Primary Science curriculum — biology, chemistry, physics and scientific enquiry. The scientific enquiry objectives underpin the teaching of the three sciences, which are focused on building confidence and interest in scientific knowledge, and incorporate environmental awareness and some history of science. series was developed with these three considerations in mind: • • •

What materials can we offer teachers to develop pedagogy and support pupil progression? How can we encourage pupils to be self-aware, independent and have an understanding of the learning process? How can pupils acquire deep conceptual understanding and mastery over the subject?

These considerations led to the creation of the following components in this series: Teacher’s Guide

Pupil’s Book

Teachers plan and prepare lessons using these: • Schemes of Work • Teaching Ideas • Suggested Answers (Pupil’s Book) • Digital resources (CD-ROM) (Also available at www.mc-science.com) - editable Schemes of Work - editable Lesson Plans - editable Revision Worksheets - Chapter Openers - Activity Book with suggested answers and suggestions to guide pupils - Overview of Resources for Scientific Enquiry Learning Objectives

Teachers teach and pupils learn using these: • Chapter Openers and key content • ‘Try This’ • ‘Going Further’ • ‘What You Have Learnt’ • ‘Exercise’

Activity Book Pupils practise and teachers assess using these: • Worksheets • ‘Let’s Review’ • ‘Reflection’

Through the use of this series, we believe that pupils can develop Cambridge learner attributes — five highly desirable habits in learning: confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged, and become fully proficient in science. This series offers a complete solution to the delivery of the Cambridge Primary Science curriculum framework in schools.

Scientific Enquiry Learning Objectives Ideas and evidence Try to answer questions by collecting evidence through observation. In science, pupils should learn to answer questions based on evidence, which can be collected in various ways: • • •

By using different senses, with the aid of instruments if necessary, to make observations around them By making observations and measurements in simple, guided investigations By carrying out research using simple information sources, such as age-appropriate books, magazines and websites

Pupils should be guided to make relevant observations and measurements. Teachers can then discuss with pupils whether the evidence collected can help answer their questions or whether the evidence supports their predictions.

Plan investigative work Ask questions and contribute to discussions about how to seek answers. Asking questions is an important part of scientific inquiry. Pupils should be encouraged to ask questions and discuss how they can find the answers to their questions. Instead of providing pupils with facts and solutions, teachers may provide scaffolds by asking questions which lead pupils to the answers. Pupils can start with simple ‘what’ and ‘how’ questions before progressing to more difficult ‘why’ questions. They then discuss how they can find out the answers, whether by making relevant observations, carrying out research or simple investigations or asking people. They should think about the different ways they may find answers to their questions, whether by making relevant observations, carrying out simple investigations and research, or asking people. This helps in their metacognition.

Make predictions. Predictions are guesses made based on prior knowledge or experience. Some pupils may be further challenged to explain their predictions to ensure that they have not made wild guesses. Pupils may communicate their predictions in various ways — speaking, writing or drawing. Kinaesthetic learners may communicate their predictions by acting them out.

Decide what to do to try to answer a science question. Pupils should be encouraged to suggest different ways of answering a science question. For example, they may discuss the steps to carry out for an investigation or the variables to change or keep the same. As pupils are new to carrying out investigations, teachers should facilitate by providing guidance and questions for scaffolding. For example, teachers can give suggestions and let pupils discuss and decide which may be used to answer their question. Letting pupils discuss and decide what to do is another strategy to help them in their metacognition.

x


Obtain and present evidence Explore and observe in order to collect evidence (measurements and observations) to answer questions. Pupils should be encouraged to explore and seek answers to the questions they have about the world of nature. They may discover new things in different ways, for example, by studying and examining objects or events, making field trips or learning journeys, reading up or carrying out simple investigations. During their explorations, they collect evidence in the form of observations or measurements. Pupils should be encouraged to use different senses (except for the sense of taste, which should be used specifically for taste tests) to make observations. Observations made at this stage are likely to be qualitative rather than quantitative. For example, pupils may state that a sound is loud or soft, rather than state the sound level in decibels. The observations may be in the form of a comparison, for example, ‘The seedling is taller than it was two weeks ago.’ Any measurements made at this stage will be in the form of non-standard units, for example, stating a measurement as ‘half a cup of water’, rather than ‘50 cm3 of water’. Safety precautions must be taken when making observations, for example, not looking at the Sun directly or touching hot or sharp objects.

Suggest ideas and follow instructions. Pupils should be encouraged to suggest ideas for carrying out investigations. After deciding on the procedure for an investigation, they should then be able to follow the instructions to carry out the investigation. They should also learn to follow the instructions in the various activities in the Pupil’s Book and Activity Book to ensure that these activities can be successfully carried out. Following instructions requires the skill of communicating, which is essential in the learning of science.

Record stages in work. Pupils can record their observations and measurements in different ways — in writing, drawings, or in the form of numbers, tables and charts. They may also cut and paste pictures or specimens. By recording stages in work, pupils get to see how their work has progressed.

Consider evidence and approach Make comparisons. Pupils should be able to make comparisons by identifying the similarities and differences between each other, between living things and non-living things, between plants and animals, and between the different types of materials. They may use tables or charts to help them make comparisons.

xi


Compare what happened with predictions. Pupils should be able to compare the observations or results of their investigations with their predictions. Based on their comparisons, they should then be able to say whether their predictions are correct or not. If their predictions were incorrect, they should be encouraged to explain why that is so. Teachers should let pupils know that wrong predictions are common in the exploration of science, and they should not be discouraged. Teachers should also let pupils check whether their wrong predictions are a result of them not setting up their investigations properly or due to unfair comparisons. Pupils may then go on to fine-tune their investigations.

Model and communicate ideas in order to share, explain and develop them. Scientists record their experiments, observations and results and share them with fellow scientists and the public via various means, such as publishing them in scientific journals. Other scientists may repeat the experiments to check the results or develop the ideas further. Similarly, pupils should communicate ideas or share the results of their investigations in various ways. Besides recording them, they can have show-and-tell sessions to share and explain their ideas or what they have done. They may use drawings or physical models to explain their ideas.

Introduction

provides you with a chapter opener and trigger questions to engage pupils, and serves as a lead-in to the chapter.

This chapter introduces pupils to forces in terms of pushes and pulls and how forces affect movement. Pupils learn about different types of movements and how to describe these movements. They also learn to relate their understanding of movement in everyday contexts such as road safety.

Teaching ideas 3. Outline the learning outcomes on Pupil’s Book p. 97.

Teaching ideas 1. Begin by introduc ing pupils to the rhyme on Pupil’s Book p. 96. Ask: • What is a push? (Answer: It can move something away from us.) • What is a pull? (Answer: It can move something towards from us.) • What can pushes and pulls do? (Answer: Answer varies.) (Using rhyme to engage pupils, trigger questions, tapping prior knowledge) 2. Let pupils know that they will learn about pushes and pulls, and how pushes and pulls change the way things move in this chapter.

Teaching Ideas give you detailed lesson ideas and suggestions to enable the development of knowledge, skills and processes, and ethics and attitudes. Questions, with suggested answers, for initiating inquiry, scaffolding and assessing pupils’ understanding are included, wherever applicable.

Introduction In this chapter, pupils learn about the external parts of the human body. They learn about their senses and how they can use their senses to explore the world around them. They also learn about the similarities and differences among one another.

Teaching ideas 1. Begin by introducing pupils to the world of science. • Explain that science is learning about the world around them through observing and experimenting. • Tell pupils that they can observe the world around them using their senses. 2. Introduce to pupils the rhyme about senses on Pupil’s Book p. 2. • Let pupils know that they will learn about the different parts of the human body and the different senses in this chapter.

Meet Aishah and Lily. They are just like you and me. They see with their eyes, The bright blue sky. They hear with their ears, The birds chirping loud and clear.

They smell with their noses, The sweet scent of roses. They touch with their skin, The cold can drinks. They taste with their tongues, The yummy food made by their mums.

• Let pupils know that they will then use their senses to observe the similarities and differences among themselves. (Using rhyme to engage pupils)
