Learning science at the school level is much more interesting than any other subjects or languages. Science has always been a favourite subject for those who enjoy experimenting and learning with fun whereas it is equally difficult for those who do mere reading and rote - learning without understanding the actual weightage of a particular topic. Many students want to do away from science as they do not understand the topic in - depth, find it boring, find it highly difficult and fail to generate curiosity for the subject even after multiple attempts. Many fail to love science just because they do not use the right kind of approach or technique needed to learn.
Are you really curious about knowing science the right way and want to explore your knowledge bank?
Do you want to generate love for science naturally?
Do you want to know the easiest way to understand science in school?
Then do read the article till the end and share with your friends who would be in need of it.
Follow these simple but interestingly cool techniques to learn science in a simple and easy way:
Do It By Self / Learning By Doing
One of the best methods in learning science is Learning by doing. Learning by doing is the process by which students make sense of their experiences, especially those in which they actively engage in making things and exploring the world. Learning by doing is the idea that we learn more when we actually “do” the activity. Science as a subject is far too difficult to understand with clarity unless we do the specific activity by ourselves. So, Do it to retain it longer.
Observe Keenly / Learning By Demonstration
Certain concepts of science need a deep demonstration in order to be clear with the actual meaning of the content. Demonstrations are actually performed by teachers in the classroom or laboratory to get better clarity of the concepts taught. Demonstration is a traditional method in teaching science that can raise interest and encourage pupils to think about a topic. While demonstrating, the teacher can focus the pupils' attention on the relevant facts and introduce scientific principles and concepts.
Explore Surrounding / Learning Through Nature
Nature or Natural setting enhances a child's learning and fosters a learner's capacity to learn by providing live real and supportive samples for better understanding. Nature has always been a friend for the child as they most from it since childhood. Be it the way the flowers bloom, the concept behind the motion of the swing, the change in the color of life or be it decomposition of remains of living organisms. Nature is equipped with all live real time experience to enable learning. So, Explore nature and discover the facts.
Know The Heads / Learning Through Concept Maps
Concept maps are a powerful study strategy because they help a student to see the big picture. Concept maps help you sort information based on meaningful connections in proper hierarchy. The concept map acts as an important tool for science teachers for effective understanding of the students. Rote learning is often used by the students as there are numerous terms and concepts in the curriculums to be learned. Students often use rote learning to succeed with standardized, multiple choice questions. Concept mapping is an excellent activity in allowing students to engage in extended science discourse. The maps provide students with a means to learn the language patterns of science and construct scientific knowledge.
Peek A Boo / Learning Through 2D or 3D Animations
Animation helps to turn abstract concepts and processes into something tangible. Visual stimuli can trigger an emotional response which together forms a memory. The more that learning engages our long term memory, the better our overall achievement is. Without a doubt, video can add important information and valuable details to written descriptions and static images, and improve the ability of students to learn new methods, reproduce experiments or understand phenomena. Animation videos help to explain tricky processes or concepts. A key strength of animation is its ability to be used as a multi-sensory teaching experience. The power of animation allows students to see, hear and talk about the experience they are engaging with, which makes it a more interactive experience than traditional paper based teaching methods.
Start implementing these techniques in your daily routine to learn and understand science faster and better without any hassle. All the best!
Have Fun With Science!!!
Happy Learning!!!
