Completed chapter 1 of Aidan's science subject. Gosh, I still insisted in having science in english medium. Not that I don't love my own mother tounge, but, it's easier to explain the terms in english rather than malay.
Anyway, we tried.
The idea is to make the students understand what science is all about and what does it do. It is important for them to understand what scientist does in order for them to understand the methods and experiments terms and definitions.
Aidan does understand the word 'experiment'..whenever we mentioned it, he will get overexcited and all he wanted to ensure is the outcome as expected. Interestingly, he's quite confused when we asked him to 'map' out what is the input, procedures and outcomes will be in performing any experiment. He's clueless.. I hope this helps.
On a side note, we went through series of exercises from the book. I still believe the syllabus should link on other related subjects, especially maths. There were few examples discussing about averages and so forth while the students are not being introduced these theories in maths.. hmmmm... is not sync!
