REMEDIAL ACTIVITIES

THESE ACTIVITIES ARE SUITABLE

FOR TEACHERS TO GUIDE THE

SLOW LEANERS TO ANSWER

QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE

SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS

INTERACTIVELY.

1. Work in a small group.2. Help the pupils to set up the apparatus as shown in the picture.3. Guide the pupils to do the experiment. Teachers or pupils can key in their answers in the Ms Power point presentation. It is hoped that this interactive activity can give the pupils a clear idea on how to answer the structure questions in Science process skills.4.The Science Process Skills involved are: (controlled variables, interpreting data, prediction)5. Teachers can decide on other topics to be carried under this teaching strategy.
