This engaging and comprehensive complete NS & Tech kit, specifically designed for Grade 4-7 learners. The Kit is Perfectly aligned with the CAPS curriculum, for step by step experiments and practical activities that make learning natural science and technology exciting and accessible. Learners employ critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong love for discovery with everything they need for an enriching educational experience.
The Kit covers the 4 main knowledge strands for natural science and technology with technology perfectly integrated into each of them for the CAPS curiculum for grades 4-7:
- Life and Living
- Matter and Materials
- Energy and Change
- Planet Earth and Beyond
Natural Science and Technology Kit Grades 4-7
Natural Science and Technology Kits (Grade 4-7) - CAPS Aligned
These kits offer a progressive learning journey across the four core Natural Science and Technology strands, building knowledge and skills from Grade 4 through Grade 7:
-
Life and Living:
- Grade 4: Living vs. non-living, basic plant/animal structures, plant needs, habitats, animal shelters.
- Grade 5: Plant/animal diversity, skeletons (support/movement), food chains, life cycles.
- Grade 6: Photosynthesis, nutrients/food groups, food processing, ecosystems/food webs.
- Grade 7: Biosphere, biodiversity, sexual reproduction (plants/humans), variation/inheritance.
-
Matter and Materials:
- Grade 4: Properties of materials (solids, liquids, gases), states of matter, water cycle, raw/manufactured materials, strengthening materials.
- Grade 5: Metals/non-metals, material processing, material properties (hardness, flexibility, etc.), combining materials.
- Grade 6: Particle arrangement (solids, liquids, gases), mixtures (separation methods), solutions, water purification.
- Grade 7: Material properties (boiling/melting points, conductivity), advanced mixture separation, acids/bases/neutrals, introduction to the Periodic Table.
-
Energy and Change:
- Grade 4: Energy for life (Sun), movement and sound (vibrations).
- Grade 5: Stored energy (fuels), electricity (cells, mains, safety), energy and movement (elasticity, springs), simple systems.
- Grade 6: Electric circuits (components, diagrams, conductors/insulators), electricity generation (fossil fuels, renewables), problem-solving systems.
- Grade 7: Energy sources (renewable/non-renewable), potential/kinetic energy, heat transfer (conduction, convection, radiation), insulation, energy conservation.
-
Planet Earth and Beyond:
- Grade 4: Earth's features, the Sun, the Moon (features, phases), basic rocket modeling.
- Grade 5: Earth's movements, surface features (rocks, soil), sedimentary rocks, fossils.
- Grade 6: Solar system (planets, asteroids, moons), movements of Earth/planets/Moon, space observation systems (telescopes), space exploration vehicles.
- Grade 7: Sun-Earth relationship (seasons, solar energy), Moon-Earth relationship (gravity, tides), history of astronomy.
