The Accra College of Education (AcCE), through its Teaching and Learning Resource Centre, in partnership with Michael Gregory, a Canadian science educator from France and a\u00a0Scientix<\/a>\u00a0ambassador for France, organised an \u2018Experiment Share\u2019 for its student teachers and students at Ideal College Senior High School on 22nd<\/sup>\u00a0February 2022.\u00a0<\/p>

The \u2018Experiment Share\u2019 engaged students in a series of live science experiments using low-cost and locally available materials to make science education practical, engaging and fun.\u00a0<\/p>

With a mission to \u201cpracticalise science for students\u201d,<\/em>\u00a0Gregory and Christoffer Akeploo, a science tutor from St. Francis College of Education, have been exploring ways to support schools and Colleges of Education, to encourage more practice-based science in the classroom. Mr Akpeloo and Gregory have embarked on several science outreach programmes to local schools in the Volta and Oti Regions. They have also developed several Teaching and Learning Materials (TLMs) for the St. Teresa\u2019s College of Education Resource Centre with accompanying instructional videos to guide teachers in creating science TLMs.<\/p>

Accra College of Education\u2019s Teaching and Learning Resource Centre was established in 2020 and supports College tutors and local schools with practical ideas and TLMs to make lessons engaging and fun. The Centre also supports student teachers to create or borrow TLMs during their On-Campus Teaching Practice.\u00a0 The Centre is also open for use by local schools \u2014and this has helped the College to build stronger relationships with these schools.<\/p>

The Principal of AcCE, Dr Samuel Atintono, ensures that the Centre is well-resourced and has a vision of expanding the College\u2019s national and international institutional partnerships. He believes that \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0these partnerships will increase student teachers\u2019 exposure and allow more connectivity to learn new things and create communities of practice.\u00a0\u201cWe can share best practices and work out how to scale this to the other 45 Public Colleges of Education so that they can also benefit from these practical demonstrations.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Dr. Atintono continued that\u00a0\u201cone of our biggest challenges is having the equipment for use in our laboratories.\u00a0 TLMs are alternatives that supplement and promote teaching and learning.\u00a0\u00a0 We are therefore happy that this activity has been organised for our students; we hope this is not a one-off exercise.\u00a0 The exercise has been beneficial, and we look forward to scaling it up and engaging more institutions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

Mr. Emmanuel Annan, the Coordinator for the Resource Centre, explained that\u00a0\u201cwe took a step to go on an outreach to primary schools and some Senior High Schools after receiving a donation of simple science experiments from the Institution of Engineering and Technology through T-TEL.\u00a0 We visit the schools to donate some of these science experiments and support them in learning how to build and use them.\u00a0 I hope we can continue our outreach to other Senior High Schools so that teachers can weave some of these practical science demonstrations into their classroom lessons.\u00a0 If, as a result, some students find interest in the teaching profession, then that becomes (the) icing on the cake.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

About 100 students participated in the practical demonstration exercise held on Tuesday, February 22, 2022, at the ICT laboratory of the College.\u00a0 Tutors from Accra CoE and Ideal College SHS also participated in the exercise.\u00a0<\/p>

The students made a gas thermometer, created cardscopes (using low-cost lenses to demonstrate magnification) and undertook experiments on surface tension and static electricity.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The students used a glass bottle, one-hole stopper, tubing, balloon, and coloured water to make the gas thermometer.\u00a0 This experiment turned out to be a fun activity because students worked in groups.\u00a0 Each group was tasked to create a gas thermometer by following an assembly instruction pasted on the wall a few metres away.\u00a0 The groups had to plan and assign tasks to each group member. Some team members\u2019 roles were to read and relay the step-by-step process to their respective groups as part of a competition to see which group could successfully calibrate their thermometer the quickest.\u00a0 In the end all the groups successfully created a gas thermometer and observed the temperature rise and fall by creating heat from rubbing their hands.\u00a0 The activity tested how groups communicated to achieve the task on hand effectively and efficiently.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Next, the students explored static electricity using two drinking straws or the inner and outer parts of a pen\u00a0\u00a0 and a bottle of water.\u00a0 The activity showed how items are charged through static electricity.\u00a0 The students rubbed both straws rapidly against paper so that the friction caused electrons to transfer from the paper to the straws, leaving both straws negatively charged. \u00a0Students then carefully balanced one of the straws on top of the bottle. They then put the other straw close to the balanced straw and the straw started to move away from the first straw. By moving the straw round the bottle, the balanced straw could be made to spin on top of the bottle. Students then used a pen (which was neutrally charged) and saw that the straw moved towards the pen. This demonstration showed that like charges repel and opposite charges attract.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

To demonstrate the cardscopes, students were given small acrylic lenses to make microscope attachments using smartphones.\u00a0 They drilled holes in the cardboard similar to the size of the lens.\u00a0 They inserted the lens in the hole parallel to the smartphone\u2019s camera and used elastic bands to hold it firmly.\u00a0 Using the phone camera as a microscope, students then captured photos of common objects around them, such as money, skin and hair.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The final experiment demonstrated that water has surface tension. The facilitator placed plain paper over a plastic cup full of water. He then flipped the plastic cup (with the water) and the paper to show what would happen next. The students observed that the water held up the paper. By implication, the high surface tension held the water up, consequently preventing it from spilling.smartphone\u2019s camera and used elastic bands to hold it firmly.\u00a0 Using the phone camera as a microscope, students then captured photos of common objects around them, such as money, skin and hair.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Students actively participated and contributed during the per-discussion and practical sessions.\u00a0 They had various experiences to share and were excited at the opportunity to co-learn.\u00a0 Some students observed that the practical sessions had enabled them to connect the theory and practical application of knowledge.\u00a0<\/p>

The \u2018Experiment Share\u2019 was a great way to get the students to learn some simple scientific processes.\u00a0 It invigorated the students\u2019 critical thinking skills and understanding of how science works.<\/p>
