Teaching the Fundamentals of Natural Science Through Scientific Model Construction
Abstract: This study explores the use of scientific-model construction in teaching the ?Natural Science Foundation? course for primary-education majors. Using the sinking and floating unit as an example, the activity of producing an underwater glider model enables students to deepen their understanding of scientific concepts and apply them in practice. The approach helps shift instruction from theory-centered delivery to active participation, strengthens students? learning motivation, and supports the development of scientific literacy.
