____________
This small book has been written to share the results of a research study on concept development with teachers, curriculum developers and researchers. The science concept involves the human circulatory system which teachers say is one of the most difficult topics to teach. The intervention activities were constructivist in nature, initiated by eliciting prior knowledge of students before engaging them in real-life experiences and the use of models and pictures.

This is a secondary level textbook intended to deepen awareness and develop scientific knowledge and understanding of earth processes such as weather, ocean movements, erosion, and volcanic eruption. Its Philippine orientation, i.e., conditions and processes observable in the country and data about natural phenomena, sites and resources, not only concretizes theories and principles but also enables our students to identify with their own country. To ensure the development of concepts, activities containing specifications of materials, detailed procedures and well thought-out questions are woven into the text at points where they can be of most help to students.

This volume Frontiers of Physics is a compilation of lectures delivered by Filipino scientists who are in the forefront of new developments in physics research and theory, during a lecture series sponsored by the Institute for Science and Mathematics Education Development for Physics teachers. The lecture series aimed to give physics teachers a holistic view of physical theories and to update them on the new developments in 20th century physics.
Frontiers of Physics is a resource book for physics teachers as well as for students. The papers are written in a style understandable even to non-physicist.

This is a resource material for biology teachers which uses the environment as a teaching resource. It presents a practical and comprehensive guide to the identification of 200 plant species commonly found in our grassland under five groupings: forage, medicinal plants, weeds, plants with economic use, other plants associated with this ecosystem. Each species is accompanied by a brief non-technical description, a line drawing, and an updated taxonomic key.

This laboratory manual is an attempt to convince science teachers that the best way to teach natural law is through demonstrations. The demonstrations in this manual are low-cost. Efforts to find and use local materials are indicated. However, several lecture-demonstrations are included which are especially low-cost, but are novel ways of using existing equipment. -

Research and Development Team ISBN 971-570-065-9 Published by NISMED July 2000 with Filipino Translation ₱ 210.00 No. of Pages: 104 English Version Only ₱ 150.00 No. of Pages: 104 __________ A research commissioned by the UP NISMED and conducted by Dr. F. Landa Jocano in 1978-1980 lists the beliefs and practices in most regions of the country. Some of these beliefs and practices, especially in agriculture, fishing, food and nutrition, and medicine are science-related. The Philippine Folk Science provides scientific explanations for these belief and practices. A few beliefs/practices included in the sourcebook are not found in Jocano’s list. These were generated from the interviews conducted by the Research and Development Team. This sourcebook, written in English with parallel Filipino translation, aims to relate science to daily life so that readers can learn concepts in a more relevant context. -

This sourcebook for teaching science at the grade 1 level is one of a series written for the lower grades. The series is anchored on the following key points: (a) learning science can and should be fun, (b) learning science should be hands-on, minds-on, and hearts-on, and (c) science should be closely linked with other subject areas, especially in the lower grades.
So teachers may fully benefit from this sourcebook, the teaching guide is presented as a lesson plan. A unit plan precedes the lesson plans to make teachers conscious of the need to link related ideas, and to build present learning upon previous ones.

____________
The activities contained in this Sourcebook were based mostly on the activities developed during the lifetime (1994 - 1999) of the Science and Mathematics Education Manpower Development Project (SMEMDP) that focused on the practical work approach as a teaching strategy. The activities were selected based on several criteria: (a) topics required by the Philippine Secondary Schools Learning Competencies (PSSLC), (b) teaching value of the activity, (c) availability of materials and equipment, and (d) simplicity of the procedures. The original activities have been modified, simplified and revised to match the target students' level of skills and to adapt to classroom situations. The objectives were limited to what can be accomplished within the time frame of a high school chemistry class.
Several introductory chapters (I. The Practical Work Approach, II. Keeping the Laboratory Safe, and III. The Construction of Improvised Equipment) are added. These are meant to help chemistry teacher, in teaching more effectively and managing the class more efficiently. A teaching guide follows for each activity.
