What?

Experiments are learning activities that involve hands-on exploration and investigation, allowing students to actively construct knowledge by conducting tests, making observations, and drawing conclusions based on their own experiences and discoveries.

How?

Step 1. Plan and set clear objectives. Identify the learning goals, select an appropriate experiment, gather necessary materials, and outline the procedure to ensure a focused and purposeful learning experience.

Step 2. Facilitate active engagement. Guide students through the experiment, encourage hands-on participation, promote inquiry and critical thinking, and support students in making observations, collecting data, and analysing results.

Step 3. Foster reflection and understanding. Discuss the experiment’s outcomes and findings and connect them to relevant concepts. Encourage students to draw conclusions, ask questions, and make connections to real-world applications.
