Option 3 : Watching science fiction films

Scientific attitude is defined as the desire to know and comprehend, the questioning of all statements, search for data and their significance, and the hunt for verification and examination of repercussions.

Indicators for assessing scientific attitude in students-

Cause-effect relationship- It refers to the relationship between two things that occur when one thing causes another to occur. It allows us to draw conclusions and reason about events that occur around us. It helps in assessing the critical thinking of the children.
Identifying patterns and relationships in observation- Logical thinking requires the children to concentrate on the observation and organize them thoroughly through reasoning before coming to any conclusion. Identifying patterns uses students' innate curiosity and observational skills to encourage greater inquiry and engagement.
Searching for explanations for everyday phenomena- Scientific explanations of phenomena must be founded on events or mechanisms that can be observed in the natural world.

Hence, we conclude that watching science fiction films is not an indicator for assessing scientific attitude in students as they will not be involved in expressing their views and thoughts about a concept.
