In Term 1, we learnt basic science and how science is used in the real world. The topic on Science as an Enquiry is interesting and prepares us for subsequent science topics. In secondary school, we get a chance to do experiment in the Lab. In primary school, we never get to use the bunser burner, let alone experimenting with the chemicals. Before this, I used to think chemicals are fatal stuff.
I also have another discovery. In Secondary School, we do not just memorise important science concepts, we do experiment, see the outcome which help us understood the concepts better. For example, we do not just memorise how a vernier calliper works, we use it to know how it really works. Learning from experiement is a more effective way to learn Science. Now, I am able to see science unfolding infront of me, and not just plain text in textbooks that feeds me with facts after facts. Lab work is an amazing world of Science in action.
