Grade 5 Term 2 Practical Investigation/project

Term 2 Natural Sciences and Technology Practical Project for Grade 5

This practical project for Grade 5 learners is designed to offer a comprehensive, hands-on experience that aligns with the CAPS curriculum and follows the specifications outlined in this year’s ATP.

The project focuses on the topic ‘properties of metals‘ as set out under the strand Matter and Materials for Natural Sciences and Technology. The project allows learners to investigate the properties and uses of different metals, the impact of forces on structures, and how energy can be transformed in different contexts. They will gain a deeper understanding of the scientific method and apply it to real-world situations. By the end of the project, learners will be able to communicate their findings clearly, reflecting both scientific knowledge and technological innovation.

This practical project encourages active participation, collaboration, and creativity, providing an ideal learning experience that meets both the academic and developmental needs of Grade 5 learners.
