PROJECT BASED LEARNING INTO PRIMARY LIFE SCIENCE LESSONS

Abstract

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an engaging, student-centered approach that encourages active exploration, problem-solving, and collaboration. In primary science lessons, it helps students connect learning to real-world situations, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and independence. Through PBL, students work on meaningful projects, practice teamwork, develop communication skills, and integrate multiple subjects such as science, math, and art. The method typically follows five stages: problem identification, planning and preparation, implementation, reflection and evaluation, and sharing results. By experiencing these steps, students gain confidence, motivation, and the ability to transfer knowledge across contexts while discovering the joy of learning. PBL not only improves academic skills but also equips students with life skills such as perseverance, collaboration, creativity, and curiosity, preparing them for future learning and real-life challenges.
