This volume is designed for teachers who wish to transform their teaching and make science learning a lively and engaging experience. Based on the IBSE approach (Inquiry-Based Science Education), the book guides educators in creating an investigative teaching method where students take the lead in their learning, fostering curiosity and critical thinking.
Following the five stages of the IBSE approach (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate), the book offers a deductive method that promotes a deep understanding of scientific and mathematical concepts. Six laboratory pathways assist teachers in practical application, addressing key topics such as the scientific method, evolution, climate change, genetics, atoms, and mixtures.
Each pathway includes pre-designed worksheets with detailed explanations for the teacher and hands-on materials for the class, making it easier to implement the approach in everyday teaching.
