•PROBLEM SOLVING METHOD
LECTURE-CUM DISCUSSION

The lecture-cum-discussion method involves

the teacher delivering a lecture and then
allowing 10 minutes for discussion between
the teacher and students. This allows
students to clarify questions and helps assess
their understanding.

This method in commonly

thought of as a hands on and
minds on approach to teach
science where in students have the
opportunity to gain some
experience.
OBSERVATION METHOD
In this method, the student observes and
acquires knowledge. Through we
cannot call this as a specific method of
science teaching but as a matter of fact
almost all science begins with
observation.
PROJECT METHOD

Kilpatrick. And was perfected by J.A
Sternson.
• This method emphasizes on building a
