Strategies employed
1.Connect (Hook and Hold) (5 mins)
Activate Learning - Youtube Video of Scientific Method
+ Students are introduced to the teacher and the teacher to the various teams formed for the ISS. Should there be changes, the teacher to update in the “Google form” passed over from 2020.
+ Ask students to create a blog for ISS with the naming format as:
sst2021-s20X-iss-y.blogspot.sg/ OR sst2021-s20X-iss-y.blogspot.com/
where
X is your class
-y is your group alphabet assigned
and create tabs with the following headings as shown in the sample posted here:

2.Acquire and Make meaning (Receive Knowledge and skills, and understanding learning outcomes) (40 mins)
+ Get students to respond to the question – what is science and the scientific method?
+ Instead of telling the students, ask them to search the internet and present their cases about what is the scientific method.
+ A good example is this website on the overview of the scientific method: http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_scientific_method.shtml#overviewofthescientificmethod
+ Students can post their research in the blog created.
+ As most projects require funding from private organizations, universities and the government, Funding becomes an important factor in the process of the Scientists.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funding_of_science
+ Read through the article and modify the diagram on Scientific Method.

+ Read through the article and modify the diagram on Scientific Method.
+ Suggested tool to use is: MacPaint
3.Transfer (Formative checks, reflections, etc.) (5 mins)
+ Remind student to answer the key question – “What is the Scientific Method?”.
+ Post the diagram in their Group Blog.
For lesson 2, you (the students) are expected to come prepared with the following:
* Grouping
* Title (proposed title)
* Type of Science research - Choose one type from SN 1 to 5
* Category/Sub-category - Choose one/two category(ies)
The following list may be useful for you:
There are 5 types of scientific research:
(1) Test a hypothesis: Hypothesis-driven research
(2) Measure a value: Experimental research (I)
(3) Measure a function or relationship: Experimental research (II)
(4) Construct a model: Theoretical sciences and applied mathematics
(5) Observational and exploratory research
There are many categories/sub-categories to the Science research. You may refer to this link:
* please note that Poisons and Vertebrates (including human body parts or fluids) are not permitted as research topics
