When studying science courses, we often encounter some abstract and difficult concepts. In order for students to better understand and master these concepts, we need to adopt some strategies different from traditional teaching methods. Here are some effective strategies.

Reinforce perception

In concept teaching, rich and varied perceptual materials should be provided to guide students to observe and operate, so as to deepen their perception of things. In this way, they can better prepare for the formation of concepts.

Pay attention to appearance

By guiding students to recall and compare different examples, it can help them to establish a clear representation, so as to better understand the essential attributes of things.

Reveal essential attributes

Once students form a clear representation, we can guide them to analyze, compare and synthesize, and reveal the essential attributes of things. Then, we extend these essential attributes to all similar things to help them form correct concepts.

Similarity of mammals

Taking "mammals" as an example, students can observe the appearance, reproduction and feeding of cats, cows, monkeys and lions, and then guide them to find out the similarities and differences between these animals. Finally, it can be concluded that "cats, cows, monkeys and lions have many similarities in appearance, reproduction and rearing offspring, and all belong to the category of mammals."
