Mr Ridzuan Abd Rahim (Senior Curriculum Specialist (Mathematics),
In these learning experiences, students have opportunities to apply science concepts and skills to: •conduct a fair investigation by identifying variables which should be kept constant or changed, managing complexities in the design of investigation
• collaborate to collect, analyse and explain data (e.g. to explain which materials are better conductors of heat based on evidence) • exercise sound reasoning and decision-making, using the findings from the investigations in everyday life applications (e.g. to design a container of appropriate materials for use in everyday life)
Hands-on Investigations e.g. investigating which material is a
better conductor of heat and creating
a container to keep drinks cool for a
longer time
Examples of Learning Experiences which Promote Critical and Inventive Thinking

in Science Teaching and Learning
In these learning experiences, students have opportunities to apply science concepts and skills to : • plan and carry out an investigation to explain a process or a phenomenon (e.g. to show how water is transported in plants) • evaluate peer’s investigation,considering different ideas and perspectives (e.g. different ways to investigate water transport in plants • observe and compare findings in different investigations to make inferences (e.g. to use evidence to infer how water is transported in plants )
Hands-on Investigations e.g. planning and carrying out an
