1.0 INTRODUCTION Science can be defined as the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. In today’s lives we can see that through science, our lives becomes better and easier with many great inventions. In medical sector especially the science has helped the doctors to find an effective ways to cure diseases. So that it can be seen science has a great impact in our daily life, hence it is important for us to know and learns science. Without realizing, we have been learning science since the early childhood and until in the middle school. But then, some of the students still cannot grab the concept of the science. They are always having a misconception about science. Even, a simple concept of the science, the students cannot remember. There are also some sorts of the students just remember the concept without understanding it. It can be seen obviously, when they are given a question of application, they cannot answer it. It shows that the student is not actually understood what they have learn in the class. Concerning with this scenario, we are the student representative of Faculty of Education from Bachelor of Education in Science would like to organize a program named "Mad Scientist". The program is name as Mad Scientist as this program involved the students itself to try various activity through the experiment. So the whole day of the program will have various activities for student as they will learn through playing. Apart from that, this program will become a stage for student to apply on what they have learned in the class through hands on activity. This program will be focusing on hands on activity, which the students can understand the concept of science easily through playing. The students will enjoy in playing the games but at the same time they are learning. Besides, this program also wants to attract the students in learning science in attractive and effective ways. According to 1 they will learn while having fun and the learning will be more affective. With the help of the wonderful facilitator and our previous experiences in organizing this event. Besides. Besides. social. this program is prepared for 50 students and aligns with our objective.child development theorists also. play is a natural way of learning and necessary for cognitive. the students are selected from the several orphanages which located in Shah Alam. The third slot is the invention slot where the student will cooperate together to invent something new from the given item. it will help the students become more understand in learning science better. We feel like being called to organize this program because we want to clear the perception of students that learning science is boring and thus with the interactive activity. This program will be organized for one day starting from 8 a. to 6 p. The participants will be range on 13 -15 years old. we believe that we will succeed in achieving the objectives of this program and ultimately will help the participants in understanding the science concept more effectively. Thus.m. 2 .m and this program consists of three slots. to make this program as a part of charity. Apart from that. The first and second slot is the educational slots which the students will learns several concept of science and apply the concept through the hands on activity. the program will take charge by 6 facilitators to make sure this program will achieve its objective and makes the program smoothly. we also want the students become more interested toward learning science. and personal development. By making the activities practically. We feel responsible to make the students understand several concepts of science hence in this program we give the opportunity to the students to construct a few experiment through various activity related to the science concept. Moreover. Apart from that.2.0 RATIONALE The program is relevant in preparing the students become more interested in learning science and we want to make the student become more understand the concept of science by applying attractive hands on activity towards the students. we also want to change the perception of the students which some of the students feels that science is a boring subject. we will try to make the student understand the science concept and let them to explore the science concept in hands on activity. Realizing about this matter we construct a day of learning science in an attractive ways where the student are learning the concept of science while playing. we are also trying to convince the student that science is fun to learn. In studying science. the students must master in both theory and practical. Besides. 3 . This program is significant to encourage the student to be fun while learning science. hopefully the students become more understand on the science concept. 1 Need for analysis Observation As the result of PT3 was announced last year. We realize that most of the lower form student there gets lower performance in science. Would you go to any science program? 3. Base on the analysis of Education Minister also the science result of PT3 and final year’s exam since 2012 getting decrease year by year and this problem usually occurs is almost all student level. We discover the reason why the problem happened among the orphanage student. These lacks of exposure toward science make the students to be further apart from this type of activity. This is corresponding with the analysis from the Education Minister about the result of student in PT3 and final year’s exam. What do you think about science? 2.3. Because of the problem. we decide to identified the problem happened among the student form 1. If you are the one who is selected to join the program science. Have you ever experienced about doing the experiment in science subject in school? 5. What can we do to make you interesting with science? 4 . We decide to make the interview among the student at orphanage. it can be seen that the performance in science is not very good among students. On the 22 October 2015. The interview question that were asked: 1.0 THE CURRICULUM 3. form 2 and form 3. do you agree? 4. we had involved on a program charity at the orphanage. Nowadays it is hard to find a science day program that is prepared by the students. interactive. most of student not gives the answer. A lots of student said science is something that boring and hard to understand. This program should be able to ignite student’s love and attention about science. So. As we can see. Based on the interview conducted. And for the third question. and also making faculty as one of their memorable experience due to the program. a meeting was held regarding this growing concern. most of the respondent gives negative feedback on the first question. they not interested with the program that related to science. However. The SEEDS committee members and we agreed that some innovation should be made in a science type of program so that it would attract students and give positive impact to them. a lot of the student said that they never involve or go to science program. we come out with the idea of a new science program. new knowledge for them and also give them a meaningful feeling and something that can make them reflects them as a 5 . based on the information. easy access to attend. And for the last question. Information Gathering On 11 November 2015. The program has to be held at the faculty because we want them to feel comfortable. For the fourth question the most students answer is they had done the experiment in school but they not understand the related between what they learn in class and the experiment work for. After a few meetings. we come out with an idea to organize a day with full of interactive activities but at the same time they are learning. the student didn’t like something that is boring. And the second question. They said that school never makes a program base on the science. The slot must able to attract student attention. student said that they want clearer and understand about science and want know what is important in study science for daily life. and resilient. Science education in Malaysia nurtures a Science and technology culture by focusing on the development of individuals who are competitive. The slots of the program should be something that they familiar but didn’t have a chance doing it.good student in science. and able to master scientific knowledge and technological competency. The slot will be conducted by experienced facilitator with the observation from the instructor. we are dedicated to attract the student's interest in learning science. In effort to develop individual who mastering the concept of science. dynamic. we are adapting interactive and effective learning to the students. They might have a basic perception or idea on how the activity should be conducted but not the real procedure. It should be fun but at the same time has lots of deeper meaning. so that they are able to fulfill the objectives of the modules. 3. it should motivate student to be a better junior scientist.2 The philosophy National Science Education Philosophy In consonance with National Education Philosophy. and thus ensuring students to born as well-rounded individual physically and mentally. Our Philosophy A line with NSEP. The committee members also help the conducted program if needed to make the program run smoothly. robust. 6 . In other words. Provide interesting activity and games related to science that involve our daily life. 3. 2.4 Objectives The objective of this program: To encourage students learns science To make the students understand on the concept of science through interactive activities To make the student discover the concept of science in daily life To inculcate cooperative values among the students thorough the hands on activity To make the student apply what they have learnt in daily lives 7 . Organize a science educational program that includes hands on learning.3.3 Vision and Mission VISION “Attract students towards learning science and learning in a fun way to makes the students more understandable" MISSION 1. 5 Learning outcomes This program should able to Encourage the students to be fun when learning science. 8 . Encourage the students to increase their interest towards science subject. To make the students are closer each other and apply the cooperative values among them. Enhance the learning of science using interactive method.3. To make the students are easily understand the theory that they have learnt. To make the student feel that studying science are enjoyable and fun. we want to grab the student’s attention first with the chemical reaction activity as the chemical reaction will produce fizzing. when they are mixing several kinds of chemicals.10.00 am. we have included two activities which are the sand box volcano and homemade lava land. while the lava is from the mixing of vinegar and baking soda. the students 9 . the students will be more understand about how the volcano eruption works closely. The volcano is built from the sand. and bubbling reaction hence can make the learning fun. Basic scientific experiments provide wonder for students. The name of this slot is “All About the Chemical Reaction”.00 am Learning outcome: At the end of this slot. So in this activity. and see the volcano eruptions in the television. The sand box volcano will be the first activity. Through this activity. students should be able to Explore what will happen if two different mixtures are mix together Understand the science concept of chemical reaction The first educational slot is the interactive learning I. the students are given opportunity to build the volcano from the sand and see lively the eruptions.6 Contents Slot 1: Interactive learning I Title : All About Chemical Reaction Venue : INTEC Lecture Hall Time : 8. Besides. Students have been learning about eruptions before. For this slot. engaging their senses and enhancing their natural curiosity while allowing them to investigate and learn more about the world around them. In this first activity.3. In this activity. Hence the students have been working on simple science concepts. This activity will build confidence for new learning experiences and curiosity to try making an awesome volcano. the second activity is homemade lava lamp. So in this activity the students will repeat severally in order to get exact amount of vinegar and baking soda needed. 10 . When the student observes and raises questions. From this activity it can be conclude that difference density of liquid makes it to disperse throughout the oil. Next. Students actually need simple concepts repeated for greater understanding. In order to make an awesome eruption. The students need to observe whether the colored water moving up through the oil or not.also will discover on how to make an awesome sandbox volcano eruption. When the lava lamp chemical reaction slows down. The process of learning will be more effective. Repeating similar types of experiments will builds knowledge and reinforces learning skills. the students will be able to discover the science concept which is the difference between the oil and water density. food coloring and the Seltzer tablet is added to make the reaction vigorously. the students need to add another tablet to the lava lamp. The science concept behind this activity is about the volume. This activity requires the student to mix oil. the students have to ideally add between the baking soda and vinegar. The students’ needs to observe the changes that happen. Through this activity. students will explore the chemical reaction and at the same time the science concept behind it which is density. this gets the students thinking. the students’ needs to used rock to fill the bucket. Pulleys are simple machine that can help us lift things easier. Next the students will used two wheel pulleys to lift up the bucket if possible. The pulley wheels is put one at the end one at the top. In this slot the students’ needs to explore how the simple machines are works and how the machine does for us. In this slot there will be two activities which are the homemade pulley and homemade lever The first activity is the homemade pulley. Then the facilitator will asked the students to lift up the bucket filled with rocks without using pulley. Then. the one wheel pulley is used. The two wheel pulley will 11 . Firstly. the facilitators ask the students to use pulley to lift up the bucket. Then the students are going to explore which pulley are easier to lift up the bucket.00 pm Learning outcomes: At the end of this slot students should be able to: Discover the science concept that are used in simple machine which are work and levers Explore how the simple machine works The second slot is the interactive learning II.00am -1. It must be difficult to them to lift up the bucket from one place to another. whether the one wheel pulley or two wheel pulley.Slot 2: Interactive Learning II Title : All About Simple Machine Venue : INTEC Lecture Hall Time : 10. The name of this slot is “All About Simple Machine”. At first. The activity requires the students to construct a pulley with two bucket and rope. when the distance between the effort force and the fulcrum is greater. more heavily the load can be lifted. as well as to make it easier to do other kinds of physical work. The students will observe how the pulley works. This time when the student are pulling the rope down the buckle will go up. but different classes of levers vary in where the components are located. 12 . The second activity is the homemade lever. Some examples of levers in daily live are seesaws. the students are require to build their own lever using a ruler. and then use their lever to explore how it can lift a load. A lever is a simple machine that can be used to lift heavy objects. scissors. This is how the pulley works. The science concept behind this activity is. and a bar of soap. the students have to explore on how to lift and balance the object. tape. A lever gives the user a mechanical advantage by multiplying the effort the user puts in.reduce the weight of the load. when lifting the load. All levers have the same functional components. In this activity. and wheelbarrows. In this activity. 13 . the students will use their creativity align with the science concepts in making the rockets travel faster.00 pm Learning outcomes: At the end of this slot students should be able to: Understand the science concepts of air and thrust Apply the concept of science in making the balloon rocket travel faster. The students have to be creative and innovative in order to make the invention works effectively. discover.00 pm. and engineering. a competition is held for the students. The students also will observe how the balloon rocket works. it creates a forward motion called thrust.Slot 3: Innovative Learning Title : All About Invention Venue : INTEC Field Time : 2.5. Hence through this game. The science concept behind this balloon rocket race is about the air and thrust. This slot will encourage the students in problem solving. the thrust comes from the energy of the balloon forcing the air out. and invent a new thing. As the air rushes out of the balloon. In the balloon rocket race. Different sizes and shapes of balloon will create more or less thrust. In a real rocket. For the earlier slots. In this slot. thrust is created by the force of burning rocket fuel as it blasts from the rockets engine and as the engines blast down the rocket goes up. Thrust is a pushing force created by energy. Now it is the time to set the students to explore. the students have seen how science works through the hands on activity. The last slot of this program is all about creating and exploring. We can see the flaw of the student opinion and fix it for next program. Then they will do the hands on activity together. The methodology that is used in this program is the cooperative and collaborative learning. Working in groups has numerous benefits. the same program can be held in the future. Students have to answer it according to what they feel throughout the program. This is because after the registration. From the form. it can be seen whether the program has succeed in reaching its objectives of changing the students’ perception on the science subject.7 Methodology As stated in the objective. 3. it will enhance the communication and social skill.3. If it is. this program involved the students learning while playing. It can also be seen that whether the program is suitable to overcome the program or not. the student will be in group of ten and they will assist by facilitator.8 Evaluation An evaluation form will be distributed to all students at the end of the program. Every slot in the program allowed the students to learn while doing the hands on activity. learning will be more effective as the students will collaborate together to solve the activity and the given problem. 14 .
