1. CvSU Science High School
The secondary school level at Laboratory Science High School was established in the early 1970s. CvSU built a two-story building with two to two classrooms at each grade level. The junior high school level includes grade 7, 9, and 10 (4 years) on the first floor, while the senior high school level for grade 11 and 12 (2 years) is on the second floor. Each class accommodates 37 to 40 students. The school facilities are very comprehensive, including a volleyball court, parade ground, library, and laboratories (currently undergoing renovation). For some classroom activities, such as practical work, students use the facilities in the Department of Arts and Sciences laboratories. Similarly, for activities like swimming and other sports, the school uses campus facilities, not just school facilities. The current student population is 327 female students and 292 male students Location

usually add trigger questions to find out how far students understand the
previous material
2. Engage: The
teacher explains the lesson objectives (objectives) and presents
examples/examples of the relationship between the material to be studied.
3.
Explore: Students
discuss new concepts and practice new skills
4.
Explanation: Developing
mastery (leads to Formative Assessment)
5. Elaborate: find
practical applications of concepts and skills in everyday life; generalize and
abstract about the lesson
6.
Evaluate: grading
students’ improvement
7. Extend: This stage
is given if additional needs are needed, in the form of remedial or enrichment
if necessary
