ENGAGE:
Activity 1. Defining Science
Do you remember how your previous teachers, reading, and classes define science?
Create a word cloud to illustrate/show these definitions or keywords. Be guided by
the sample word cloud on knowledge below.
EXPLORE:
Activity 2. Science Art Project
Students will explore the artistic side of science and express their understanding
through creative projects.
Instructions:
1.) Divide students into two groups and provide them with a variety of art supplies
and science-related images or objects.
2.) Students will choose a scientific concepts that interests them and create an art
project that represents or explains the concept.
3.) Students will present their projects to the class and explain the connection
between art and science.
Rubric:
- Creativity and originality: 5 pts
- Clear representation of the scientific concept: 5 pts
- Presentation and explanation of the project: 5 pts
Assessment Question:
1. How can art be used to communicate scientific ideas?
2. What did you learn about the scientific concept through creating your art
project?
EXPLAIN:
What is Science?
The word “science” is derived from the latin word scientia meaning knowledge.
Science is commonly referred to as a systematic and organized body of knowledge
in any area of inquiry that is acquired using “ the scientific method.” Science has
many facets and definitions that can be summarized into the following:
Science as a broad body of knowledge – Physical sciences consist of
disciplines such as physics (the science of physical objects), chemistry (the
science of matter), and astronomy (the science of celestial objects). Earth
sciences consist of disiplines such as geology (the science of the earth).
Science as a set of skills – The science process skills form the foundation of
scientific methods. There are the six basic science process skills:
observation, communication, classification, measurement, inference, and
prediction. These basic skills are integrated when scientists design and carry
out experiments. All six basic skills are important individually as well as when
they are integrated.
Science as an intellectual activity – Science is the intellectual, practical, and
systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural
world through observation and experiment.
Science as a social activity – Science is a social activity shaped by history,
institutions,beliefs, and values. Society shapes science and vice versa.
Science as problem solving – Problem-solving skills are necessary in all
areas of life,and the science class provides the students opportunity to
develop and utilize their problem-solving skills, which include the ability to
critically analyze a problem, determine all its elements, and prepare a
feasible solution. These are valuable skills one can require in life.
Science as a career – Individuals who have devoted themselves in studying
and doing science have established careers in science, such as biologists,
chemists, environmentalists, astronomers, medical practitioners, among
others.
Science as a global human endeavor – Science is a result of human
imagination, ingenuity, and creativity. Individuals and teams from many
nations and cultures have contributed to science and to advances in
technology.
Science as a process – The scientific method is a set of steps for verifying
and building scientific knowledge. When performing this process, one employ
skills necessary to research a topic, develop a plan and timeline, and draw
conclusions from research results.

EVALUATE:
Activity 4. Think-Pair-Share
Question 1: Explain in your own words what is science is and why it is important
Question 2: How does the nature of science contribute to our understanding of the
world?
Question 3: Discuss why some students may love science while others may not,
and how this can be influenced by various factors such as personal interest, teaching
methods, and societal expectations.
Assignment:
Research a famous scientist and create a poster presentation to showcase their
contributions to science. Write a short biography highlighting the scientist’s
background, achievements, and impact on the field of science.
