I find it interesting that you put Constructivist 5Es vs Inquiry Method - Douglas Llewellyn (2002, Inquire Within: Implementing Inquiry-Based Science Standards, p. 47) actually linked the two together in his "Constructivist Inquiry Cycle" - perhaps worth investigating further?

The best way to teach science is cooperative learning based on problem solving. The steps of the method are as follows:
1- Raising the problem: in which the teacher presents a set of information, data, or scientific phenomena that arouse students’ interest in the problem under study.
2- Defining the problem: in which the teacher helps the students to formulate the problem and define it in one or more questions in an accurate way.
3- Suggesting solutions: in which the teacher encourages students to present a set of ideas or proposed solutions to the problem that is the subject of the lesson.
4- Discussing solutions: in which the teacher directs the students to test ideas and proposed solutions to the problem, relying on the information and data previously collected.
5- Reaching the best solution: in which the teacher, in partnership with his students, chooses the most appropriate proposed solutions.
6- Generalization: in which the students, under the supervision of the teacher, generalize the results they have reached in solving the problem that is the subject of the lesson.

This amazing 6min TED talk brings to us the importance of our curiosity during any learning process! It surely is worth watching it specially in our days that real teaching seems to have been forgotten! What do you think about it?

Example:
Our citrus industry can be related to the concept of ecosystem in Biology course. Here, I can explain that the citrus tree is a home to various insect and a substrate to some mosses; in which these insects and mosses may develop ecological relationship with one another.
If you can share me teaching materials or researches that relates science teaching with your local industry, that would be of great help to my study as well.

For some months, I've been elaborating some didactic exercises for physics teaching (basic & high school levels). In general, I use a lot of illustrations, sentences and figures to complete with expressions and labels, multiple choice, to put in sequence, to paint, to resume information in tables and graphics. What kind of aspects of the learning process should I consider to improve my exercises?

We are planning to conduct a training for elementary science teachers on making improvised instructional materials to improve the quality of science teaching. Most of the science teachers in our city are non-science majors which prompted us to organize a training-workshop. What are improvised science instructional materials you can suggest that we can do?
Here is an example of what we want to do. An improvised microscope

How to encourage the students to read more and to develop critical thinking?
Question

  • Bekim BaliqiBekim Baliqi
Not only short notices, news and brief information, but diverse and profound research based literature is missing more and more in the classes. This, as a consequence reflects a lot in the superficial discussions and in the way students were graded. Moreover, it has deep consequences in the social and political developments in the near future. Therefore, what should the teachers, professors, parents and society in general do to encourage students, pupils and children to read more than to play video-games or chat in the social media?
