Topics
Through the first week in GEMS school with grade 6 I observe that they take one
topic in a week. So, in the first week that topic of science subject was Introduction
To Circulatory System. In contrast, the topics in next week will change, where the
topic will about What Is Circulatory System. My teacher always uses a PowerPoint
to display a science topic because science subject depends more in the visual sense.
Where it facilitates any idea that teacher want to give to the students. Through the
lesson, I can support my teacher by helping her on students who didnt understand
well, and that may be through drawing or brainstorm that all these strategy help
students to concentrate and feel comfortable to understand the main idea of the
topic.
