LSK3701 Assignment 2 2026 - Distinction | Due May 2026 QUESTION 1 (20) 1.1 Foundation Phase learners are still developing basic scientific understanding and sometimes confuse living and non-living things. As the teacher, you want the learners to recognise that some things grow and change over time, while others stay the same. Define what a scientific concept is and explain how you would help the learners to understand the difference between things that grow (for example, plants, animals and people) and things that do not grow (for example, toys, rocks and furniture).(5) 1.2 Learners often believe that food simply “comes from the shop” without understanding its origins. Using an inquiry-based learning approach, demonstrate how you would introduce and explore the theme “Where Our Food Comes From” in your Foundation Phase classroom. (5) 1.3 Young learners frequently have misconceptions about natural phenomena, for example believing that rain comes from “holes in the clouds”.
