Afterwards, these were interpreted and used to draw conclusions and formulate general statements. They were also exposed to various devices and equipment in making quantitative observations. At the end of the training, they presented their outputs, consisting of activities similar to those they experienced performing, which incorporated development of mathematical as well as science process skills in the construction of science ideas/concepts. About 20 regional and division supervisors observed the training.
