The purpose of this study was to develop the science instructional model emphasizing contextual approach for lower secondary school students in order to enhance conceptual understanding, analytical thinking, and application of knowledge. This science instructional model consisted of five steps of learning namely 1) Focusing (F), 2) Exploring
(E), 3) Analyzing (A), 4) Conceptual Developing (C), and 5) Applying
