Practical work is important when teaching science because it:
- Increases interest in lessons.
- Helps students connect abstract ideas with concrete things. Lessons make more sense when students can see and touch what you are talking about.
- Improves examination results.
- Improves the practical skills of students which helps them in their lives.
- Inspires students to follow a career in science.
This book aims to make practical work accessible to all science teachers in Madagascar. Experiments have been carefully designed to ensure:
- No specialist science equipment is required.
- Required equipment can easily be found in larger towns and cities.
- Some experiments cost nothing, most cost under 1000Ar and a few cost more than 1000Ar. Most of the equipment can be kept and reused.
The experiments have been designed to fit into the 6e Physics and Chemistry curriculum.
