Study Notes

Course Description

  • The course covers the understanding of spiraling basic science concepts and their application in Physics, Earth, and Space science.
  • It includes strategies in teaching elementary science.
  • Instructional material development is part of the curriculum.
  • Assessment is an integral component.

Content Topics

  • Physics includes Force and Motion, and Energy.
  • Earth and Space include Geology, Meteorology, and Astronomy.

Sequence of Domains/Strands per Quarter

  • 1st Quarter: Matter
  • 2nd Quarter: Living Things and Their Environment
  • 3rd Quarter: Force, Motion, and Energy, Earth & Space
  • 4th Quarter: Force, Motion, and Energy, Earth & Space
  • The learning progression shows the development of similar topics across multiple quarters, showing progression of skills.

Spiraling of Science Concepts (Force, Motion, and Energy)

  • Grade 3: Learners observe, explore, and investigate motion. They also identify things that change object movement.
  • Grade 4: Learners understand that applying force changes motion, size, and shape of objects. They learn about the amount of force. They also learn about magnets.
  • Grade 5: Learners measure change in object motion (distance and time).
  • Grade 6: Learners understand causes of motion (gravity, friction) beyond those observed in simpler systems.

Spiraling of Science Concepts (Energy)

  • Grade 3: Learners observe and identify different sources of light, heat, sound, and electricity; its roles in their environment.
  • Grade 4: Learners learn light, heat, and sound travel from source.
  • Grade 5: Learners explore how objects interact with light, heat, sound, and electricity. They learn basic electricity concepts.
  • Grade 6: Learners describe energy concepts and energy transformations.

Spiraling of Science Concepts (Earth and Space)

  • Grade 3: Learners describe what makes up their environment; beginning with landforms; bodies of water found in their community.
  • Grade 4: Learners investigate the physical environment (soil and water) . They classify soils by criteria.
  • Grade 5: Learners learn that Earth's surroundings (e.g., rocks) stay constant while weathering etc. may change. They learn the changes in the Earth's surface over time.
  • Grade 6: Learners learn about earthquakes, volcanoes and their effects on the Earth’s surface.

Spiraling of Science Concepts (Meteorology)

  • Grade 3: Learners describe different local weather types.
  • Grade 4: Learners describe the components of weather using instruments; they also identify trends.
  • Grade 5: Learners learn that weather is not constant throughout the year and experience events like typhoons.
  • Grade 6: Learners collect data, interpret data, and recognize weather patterns.

Spiraling of Science Concepts (Astronomy)

  • Grade 3: Learners describe natural objects in the sky.
  • Grade 4: Learners focus on the main source of light and heat on Earth, the Sun and its effect on animals and humans.
  • Grade 5: Learners learn about the Moon and stars, the cyclical nature of Moon's appearance, and understand the length of a month.
  • Grade 6: Learners understand the motions of Earth, and study the Solar System (planets, stars) with different members.

Features of the K to 12 Curriculum

  • Spiral Progression: Students learn concepts repeatedly. Each time they learn, they will apply concepts with increasing complexity, organized and integrated knowledge.
  • Constructivism: The learning process takes into account different perspectives and knowledge building. Learners are active constructors of knowledge. Teachers provide opportunities to strengthen and reconstruct the relevant knowledge.
  • How? Engaging and challenging learners and developing their zone of proximal development (ZPD). Teachers can utilize strategies that promote collaboration among learners.
  • Differentiated Instruction: Multiple approaches to learning that match learner needs for better knowledge assimilation. Learners will be provided with flexible avenues to acquire knowledge as per their interests and capabilities.

Contextualization

  • The curriculum needs to be relevant to the learners' specific environment, situation, and context. This process aims to contextualize competencies in a meaningful way.

ICT Integration

  • Using technology in teaching and learning activities promotes learning outcomes and enhances the skills of learners and teachers.
