C108-SCIENCE METHODS EXAM
2025/2026 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
100% PASS
Which is a scientific process that should be taught in the elementary classroom? -
ANS Developing questions to investigate by experimentation
How do elementary science teachers use inquiry to develop students' knowledge of scientific
ideas? - ANS Teachers trust students to learn by providing time to think on their own.
A sixth-grade teacher wants students to understand the relationship between inquiry skills and
the scientific process. They are to observe worms on dry and moist towels for 20 minutes,
record their observations, and predict if worms prefer dry or moist conditions.
How can the students achieve this objective? - ANS Students can apply what they have
observed to make predictive claims.
Which science learning activity describes the elaborate component of the 5E model? -
ANS students take what was learned and make real-world connections to things in their
everyday life.

, A fourth-grade teacher wants the class to participate in an inquiry lesson using magnets. The
teacher wants to ensure students have opportunities to formulate and test hypotheses.
Which strategy should the teacher use to achieve this objective - ANS Students should use if-
then statements while making observations about magnets interacting with various metal and
non-metal objects.
A teacher wants to maximize scientific inquiry during a unit on healthcare. To impact student
learning and process skill building, the teacher accepts an offer from a medical doctor to work
with the class.
How can the teacher include multiple science process skills during instruction? - ANS After
the doctor shares highlights from her career, have students explore medical-related topics,
create if-then statements, design and test experiments with the doctor's help, and share their
results with the class.
A third-grade teacher wants the students to make meaningful, grade-appropriate
measurements.
Which activity supports this objective? - ANS Measuring objects on the playground in inches,
feet, and yards using a yardstick
A teacher has prepared a general introduction lesson on science process skills using
measurement tools. The teacher wants to include measurement activities to enhance the
evaluation section.
How can the teacher accomplish this goal? - ANS By using data from measurements of a
variety of objects
Why is skepticism valued in science? - ANS It encourages predictions and hypothesis testing
to promote academic discourse.
