Teaching Scripts for Science and Math
Scripts
are written according to learning objectives and outcomes. They are meant to
assist teachers to deliver math and science lessons in English and provide
ideas or activities to make teaching and learning more interesting. The
scripts are meant to guide and should not curb the creativity of teachers.
