Abstract

This study aimed at the detection of basic science processes & science

integrative processes included in the teacher's guide to activities and practical

experiences of science textbooks for (4the-8the) grades in Jordan. The sample

of the study consisted of all scientific activities contained in the teacher guide

for the activities and practical experiences of general science for (4the-8the)

basic classes. The researcher used the analytic descriptive method. A tool

was designed to analyze the scientific content. The validity and reliability of

the tool were examined. The study revealed the following results: The number

of activities and practical experiments varies from one class to the other at

the primary stage. It appeared that the highest percentage in the directory of

activities was for grades seven onwards which amounted to (26.47%), and the

least of these user instructions for activities were for sixth grade (13.23%).

It was also found that the most frequent basic science operations are in the

process of observation and induction. There was no dealing with activities,

class experiments, and the development of hypotheses and the process of

induction.
