The process skills approach to teaching is defined as the educator helping children develop science skills and processes to confidently undertake their own investigations (Campbell, 2012). These skills are developed through: communicating, science language, asking questions, making sense of phenomena, predicting, modelling, conducting investigations, planning, testing, observing, reasoning, and drawing conclusions of science concepts (Campbell, 2012). When the educator assist children’s learning, it is important to put the emphasis on the nature of science and scientific concepts. Guided discovery approach to teaching requires the educator to ask effective questions that encourage children to explore and extend their investigations throughout science learning (Campbell, 2012). This can be developed through play experiences as children explore their world around them. An interactive approach to teaching children is based on questions that lead explorations and the educators to provide essential resources to guide these explorations (Campbell, 2012). It is the educators’ responsibility to support children’s development, ideas, questions, ways of thinking, and develop scientific thinking. Furthermore, an inquiry approach to teaching relates to children investigating the answers to their own

After watching this video, I was surprised by number of inaccurate private theories and the confidence of most of them. It allowed me to reflect on my own personal response. I realized my theories had changed when I entered a classroom that had a passionate teacher, visual aids, hands on demonstrations, and interesting videos. As teachers, we need to be aware of student’s private theories because many of these theories they will carry with them into their adult life. The graduating students and college professors were still incorrect on why the Earth has seasons and seemed confident in their misconception of seasons. Inaccurate theories may subsequently have negative effects in future decisions or careers.

Knowledge can be produced using a variety of different methods. However, in the natural sciences sense perception through observation is used primarily. This can be seen through the work of researchers who often observe the results of experiments and trends in order to analyze different phenomena and perspectives. While there are many scientific methods based on scientific thinking using logic and predictability, the idea that

The researcher also found out some misconceptions on the different climate change concepts. Campbell (2009) cited that Piaget (1968) disagreed with the tabula rasa notion of the child's mind instead he proposed that young children gradually develop cognitive structures to make sense of the world. The students have constructed informal theories about how things work by the time the child enters school. Therefore, it is important for the science teachers to determine the conceptual understanding and images of students on the different concepts of climate change. Also, when science teachers determine their misconceptions they can have an opportunity to educate themselves and to provide accurate information. For instance, the misconception of
