Teachers should also take into consideration the students’ knowledge about what science means and build on that. When testing younger students, it is easier for teachers to do a hands-on activity so they can have a better understanding of what the teacher is teaching. The students will be able to grasp the concept that they are learning. They will be able to show the teacher of their understanding as well. Also, books are helpful for younger students because they can see pictures and put the connection between the words and the pictures and then be able to put what they just learned into practice.
