Introduction

In the 21st century, the knowledge explosion is due to advancements in science and

technology. The present scenario indicates that there is a development in the field of

science and technology but simultaneously there is a decline in science education no

doubt new courses are being launched. The major reason for such a scenario is

secondary education where students' interest in the science subject needs to be

developed. The research also states that in schools science is mainly taught using

a conventional approach where scientific facts, concepts, principles, and laws are

difficult to understand. The world conference on Education for All (Jomtien,1990) not

only recognized and stress the importance of elementary education but also decided

to make science subjects more relevant and compulsory for all students in the school

system. The nature of human learning is the center of educational psychology that

emphasizes increasing learning outcomes at the end of the teaching-learning process. As a

result, a variety of methods of teaching are designed. The paradigm of education is

shifting from teaching to learning. The round development of learners explored

many areas of child development.
