One of the aims of science education is to develop in students skills of understanding and application of scientific concepts and principles. These skills are essential in an increasingly technological world. In school, many students perceived science learning to be mainly learning from textbooks and lectures. For science learning to be more effective and meaningful, teachers should adopt learning strategies such as cooperative learning that promote active student participation and interaction.
