QUESTION 1: 1.1. Use the topic “Plants” to show how you
would implement each phase of the seven-phase inquiry-based
learning cycle in a Grade R lesson on the parts of a plant and
their functions. Provide steps and examples for each phase. 1.2
Briefly interpret how you would incorporate the FOUR (4)
domains of scientific understanding (conceptual, nature of
science (NOS), social and procedural) into a “Plants” lesson for
Grade R learners. Include specific activities or strategies. 1.3.
Decide how you would integrate creativity, mathematics and
technology into a “Plants” lesson to enhance learning for Grade
R learners. Provide ONE (1) example for each element. 1.4
Illustrate how you would guide Grade R learners in creating a
concept map on “Parts of a Plant.” Discuss how this would
support their understanding and communication of the
concept. QUESTION : 1.1 Apply the skills of the design process
to develop an activity for learners to solve the problem of
conserving energy in their daily lives. Justify how you would
guide the learners through each stage of the design process,
ensuring the activity is age-appropriate for Foundation Phase
learners. 1.2. Discuss how you would introduce technological
literacy to Foundation Phase learners by using simple activities.
,Provide examples of how these activities Can encourage
creative thinking and problem-solving in young learners. 1.3.
Design a checklist for assessing Foundation Phase learners’
engagement in a simple design project. Include key areas such
as_ problem identification, creativity in solutions and
teamwork. 1.4 In your own words, differentiate between
technological literacy and digital literacy in the context of
Foundation Phase education. QUESTION : Defne scientific
literacy and discuss its significance in helping young learners
understand the concept of “Bees and Their Importance in
Nature.” How would you teach the basic principles of observing
and understanding bees, such as their role in pollination and
their habitats, to foster scientific literacy in the Foundation
Phase? The concept of “Weather and Seasons” is fundamental
in the Life Skills curriculum. Demonstrate how you would use
inquiry-based learning to teach learners about the different
weather patterns and their effects on daily life. Provide an
example of an activity you would use. Conceptual change is vital
in correcting misconceptions about natural phenomena.
Analyse how you would address common misconceptions about
“Day and Night” in young learners, using Carey’s (2009) theory
of conceptual change. Language is a key tool in teaching science
concepts. Show how you would ensure that learners
understand the concepts of “Healthy Living” (e.g., nutrition and
hygiene) in a multilingual classroom, with a focus on developing
, both their language and scientific understanding. QUESTION :
Read the case study. In Mrs Nkosri's class, she teaches about
plant growth by showing pictures on the board and talking
about how seeds grow into plants. The students listen, take
notes and then do a worksheet where they label the stages of
plant growth. .1 Examine the problems with this lesson when it
comes to helping students develop their science process skills.
How could the lesson be changed to let students actively
engage and practice those skills? Refer to at least TWO (2)
process skills in your answer. 2 How does this lesson miss out
on helping students build their understanding step-by-step
(bootstrapping) and using new words they might not fully
understand yet (placeholders)? Suggest ways to change the
lesson to include these ideas. 3 Recommend how this lesson
could be improved to make students more curious and willing
to think deeply. What could Mrs Nkosi do differently to
encourage these habits of mind? 4 How could the lesson be
changed to get students physically involved, like using their
hands and moving around, to help them learn? Relate activities
that Mrs Nkosi could add to improve their habits of body. 5
Develop a hands-on activity that would be more engaging than
just listening and taking notes. Explain how this activity would
help students learn better by doing things themselves.
