Abstract

Constructivist education embodies the ideals of cognitive conflict and resolution through intervention. Science is the study of physical environment through observation and personal experience. Our national educational policies have many times reiterated the importance and promotion of the scientific and technological education. The aim of this research was to explore grade 5 science curriculum of private schools in Abbottabad and highlight constructive elements of impact, elicitation,
intervention, reformulation, and reflection listed by Ross, Lakin and
McKechnie (2010).
