Teaching Application Mold will not grow in our bread

Abstract

Science courses are one of the courses that project based education could be applied
succesfully. Students are expected to impliment their knowledge that they had during the science and
technology courses to understand the nature and be able to practice scientific process skills on the daily
based problems. In this study, students followed the steps of scientific process skills under the supervison
of their mentor teacher. They participated in “This is my product: Mathematics and Science Project Work”,
joint project of National Education Ministry ( MEB) and TUBİTAK. Students decided their project thema as
bread mold. During the project, students searched the answer for the question “How we can delay the
mold reproduction on the bread?”, form their hypothesis, make their observations, experiments, analyze
the outcomes, find the solution and the stages that they should cover in the frame of their study were
explained in this paper. Afterwards students were evaluated to participate in Eskişehir regional exhibition
and presented their project. At the end of this process, students introduce their product, with their
presentation. They followed different presentation and enjoyed the different aspects of science outside
their classrooms and developed their presentation skills
