Abstract :
The need to infuse the indigenous educational
practices into the modern scientific practices to enhance
science education as well as promoting entrepreneurship
education in our basic science classroom cannot be
underscored. This paper examines indigenous coconut
oil extraction process as a way of teaching and learning
separation techniques in basic science classrooms. The
practical approaches involved in traditional coconut oil
extraction and how it can be used to teach filtration,
decantation, evaporation and sedimentation as the main
separation techniques in Junior Secondary School (JSS)
3 basic science and technology was well addressed in the
paper. In addition, the paper shows how improvisation
through indigenous educational practices can be
incorporated into the modern scientific practices to
inculcate in the learners acquisition of scientific process
skills required for technological advancement and
sustainable development in line with the revised basic
science and technology curriculum.
