Abstract
This article examines the principles and practical considerations of planning and
organizing integrative teaching in 8th grade chemistry lessons. Integrative teaching, which
emphasizes connections between chemistry and other disciplines such as biology,
geography, and technology, provides a more comprehensive and context-based
understanding of scientific concepts. The study explores how interdisciplinary lesson
planning enhances students’ engagement, critical thinking, and ability to apply chemical
knowledge to real-life situations. Key strategies discussed include curriculum alignment,
thematic lesson design, collaborative instruction, and the use of real-world problems to
anchor learning. By implementing integrative methods, educators can foster deeper
comprehension, promote curiosity, and support the development of scientific literacy among
students. The findings contribute to current educational discourse by offering a framework
for creating more meaningful and interconnected learning experiences in secondary science
education.
