<p>The focus of this project is the development of a unit of study in Science for junior students (ages 9-11), in the Elementary School and the assessment of its implementation. The actual participants in the programme were students at the grade five level.</p> <p>There are two areas of student learning that have been identified as significant in science education: the cognitive-process skills, and the communicative skills. Through application and assessment of the proposed programme, "Junior Science For General Education", it was discovered that active "hands-on" participation resulted in an increased capacity for problem solving.</p> / Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT)
