Teddy Stallard and Miss Thomson story

Why we learn science?

Science is the STUDY of the world around us - by learning science you learn HOW to study and learn (the scientific method, experimentation, research, etc)

Science is the study of the WORLD around us - you learn all about the world that we live in - how things work, what living things there are, how things happen, etc

Science helps you to become less gullible - there is a lot of WRONG information on the television, the internet, and in rumors - if you learn the truth by learning science, you won't fall for all those scams, cons, hoaxes, and quack medicine schemes

BIOLOGY - this is the study of anything that is alive; there are many sub-categories like microbiology, botany, and zoology:

• learning how living things work helps you to understand your own body and your health
• learning how living things survive helps you to understand why people act the way they do
• learning how living things are all connected helps you to see why it is important that we preserve our planet

PHYSICAL SCIENCE - these are the sciences that study nonliving things, including astronomy (studying the stars and other planets), earth sciences (geology, meteorology, oceanography, etc), and physics: 

• learning how the universe works helps you to understand why things happen
• learning how the earth is made helps you to understand why the world is the way it is
• learning how the earth works helps you to plan and survive natural events like earthquakes, tornadoes, and tsunamis
• learning how the universe works helps you to see connections between all things

SOCIAL SCIENCE - these are sciences dealing with human beings; some examples of social sciences include anthropology, geography, economics, and history: 

• learning how people interact helps you to get along with others better
• learning how the world works helps you to be more successful
• learning what people have done in the past helps you to avoid making the same mistakes and to see new things that could be tried in the future
• learning how people in different cultures live helps you to understand them and avoid conflicts

Teacher involvement in students learning

ලද විරියෙන් තිර ‍කොට ඉටු අදහසම 
කෙළවර දකින තුරු ගමනෙහි යෙදෙමි මම
වෙම්වත් තනිව යැමට මේ ගමන සොද 
කමි නැත රෑ වුනත් හිරු දා වෙය යෙද

The wood are lovely, dark and deep
And i have many promises to keep
And miles to go before i sleep
And miles to go before i sleep
