School Learning Action Cell (Slac) Session Guide

The document provides a guide for a school learning action cell (SLAC) session on innovative teaching methods in science. It outlines 5 innovative teaching methods that can be used instead of typical techniques: 1) storytelling, 2) using social media, 3) virtual science labs, 4) science museums, and 5) science movies. The session will involve a discussion of what innovative science teaching is and examples that can be applied in public schools, followed by a PowerPoint presentation and activity where teachers discuss how to apply the examples. The generalization is that student engagement and understanding are emphasized today over direct instruction, so innovative methods beyond traditional lectures are needed to teach science effectively.

SCHOOL LEARNING ACTION CELL (SLAC) SESSION GUIDE


Session Title: Innovative Teaching Methods in Science
Time Frame: 1 hour
Materials: Laptop
Television
Objective: Participants will have shared ideas about some innovative methods in
Science applicable in a public school setting.
Contents: Some of the innovative teaching methods that can substitute the typical
techniques to achieving better learning in Science include:
1. Story telling
● Students love to hear stories and therefore, storytelling is one of
the best ways to get their attention in class.
● Teacher can explain the facts of Biology or the laws of Physics in
the form of stories.
● This is a mental organizer as human brains can remember stories
than just plain facts.
● Some teachers present the whole concept as a story while some
others use a story to open and end the session.
2. Social media
● The different social media platforms can be used wisely to teach
science to make the science classrooms more interesting and
engaging.
● Students can be asked to follow scientists in Twitter and share
his/her new thoughts and findings in class.
3. Virtual Science labs
● There are many virtual Science labs available online for free.
● Detailed diagrams, illustrations, or close up pictures allow students
to virtually get inside a plant or animal part without actually doing
it.
● Dissections in Biology can be studied thoughtfully with a virtual
hands-on sensation without the problem of odor and similarly
experiment a chemical reaction without burns.
4. Science museums
● Give opportunity to students to visit a science museum as part of
the learning process. This gives them access to innovative
resources and they can visualize data they learned in class.
● Students can have a look at the real work of scientists which
improves their urge to learn about it further.
5. Science movies
● Teachers take initiatives to take them for science movies in
theatres or in school halls that clearly showcase the application
side of scientific concepts.
● More than just entertaining the students, many science movies
captivate their attention and illustrate diverse Science concepts in
the real world.

Process: Discuss:
1. What is an innovative Science teaching?
2. What are some examples of innovative Science teachings that are
applicable in a public school setting?

Present:
PowerPoint slides about the topic.

Activity:
Ask the teachers to discuss their thoughts regarding the presented examples
and how they would be able to apply them in their teachings.

Generalization Student engagement and understanding of materials is given more emphasis


in today’s education over spoon feeding the facts. Therefore, using black
boards or the typical lecture methods are not adequate to teach Science and
other related subjects.
