Abstract

This study explores the ideal design of lower secondary school science textbooks relevant to everyday life and society. I focused on the field of physics in third grade science. I found two features in the textbooks. One approach involves a micro perspective in a small-sized unit, whereby the relevance to everyday life and society takes precedence before the scientific ideas are presented. Another approach takes a macro perspective in a medium-sized unit, whereby the problem’s relevance to everyday life and society is introduced at the start of the unit, and then, the scientific ideas related to it are presented and used, and the problem is solved in the conclusion. Both approaches successfully motivate students to learn scientific ideas by using their relevance to everyday life and society as a starting point.
