Table 7: Scientific resources in the Classroom
Discuss possibilities for implementing activities using these resources with your peer
A List of resources that target specific scientific skills and concepts in the school:
Resources for Science Scientific Skill(s) / Concept(s) that can be
teaching classroom: developed with it.
Microphone Microphone has many voices loud voice or
soft voice. So the teacher uses it to speak
loudly and attack students attention.
Microphone used to copy animals voice to
be clear and loud for students so they can
differentiate between animals sound.
It help student communicate with others
like talking about an experiment.
Puppet
Puppet uses to act and make some
representative stories about the lesson that
talk about the animals. Also it helps
students classify the animals that live in
the forest and in the desert.
Mammals The teacher use this dolls to explain
mammals lesson .moreover, sometimes
she fills her stomach like a pregnant
woman to explain to the students that the
mammals give birth .
The student can compare between the
mammals and the bird.
Exploring on possible activities to develop
science skills and concepts using these
materials
Microphone can develop the
communication skill in the students
because they love using everything new
and have loud voice. So it can help them
tell story about science. Also, the teacher
can use it to let the student answer using
the microphone to be clear and
understandable for each student in the
class.
Puppet can encourage students and attract
their attention. Moreover, it can help students
compare between the animals and classify the
animals according to their living places.
Teaching about animals types help the student
to compare between the animals and classify
the mammals from the bird.

Table 5:Learning styles

Make notes about activities you observe in the classroom which use the learning styles
below:

Math Science Reading Other

Auditory Songs Animal sounds Listen to other Listening to

students stories Quran

Visual Videos\ photos Slid show \ Look at the _

pictures \ pictures and try

videos to make story

Kinesthetic White board \ Cutting _ Make dog

cubes \ foam activities house with

numbers sands

Answer the following questions:

Which learning styles did all the children seem to enjoy and why?

Children enjoy visual and kinesthetic activities. Because the teacher has many
different videos and some movement and sometimes they use cubes and
numbers to learn by their own.

Why do you think the teacher incorporates a variety of learning styles for the
children?

To make them active and interest.

Help them learn by their own.

To improve their level of learning.

 Notice which activities are repeated with a variety of learning styles e.g. read a
story, listen to a story, act the story, draw the story. Can you find other examples
e.g.,math or science.

Watch videos about addition and subtraction.

Bring photos to teach mathematical calculations.

Listen to the questions.

Dance with the video.

How can teachers improve student learning by using a range of learning styles?

Students Learn new skills by their own.

Using different activities.
