    A closer look at Science.

    01

    What we can work on together

    Use observations, models and data to explain a scientific idea. Separate what was measured from what can reasonably be concluded. State a prediction, identify the relevant variables and read the evidence carefully. Explain whether the evidence supports the prediction and what would make the test more informative.

    02

    Match practice to your course

    A child may know a calculation but struggle to read the problem. Work through the vocabulary, draw the situation and then choose a method, checking each part separately.

    03

    Make the lesson fit your school work in South Africa

    For school support in South Africa, share the CAPS phase, assessment body and language level where relevant. Use the school’s term plan to sequence practice and discuss a realistic routine around homework, connectivity and the next assessment. Bring an attempted question so your tutor can see how you reason, then agree what to practise next.

    Understand it. Try it. Review it.

    Put your science learning into practice.

    Worked example · Observe, sort and investigate

    Which material absorbs water: a paper towel or a plastic sheet?

    1. Place equal drops of water on each material with adult supervision.
    2. Observe whether the water soaks in or stays on top.
    3. The paper towel usually absorbs water; plastic generally does not.
    Common mistakes to check
    • Guessing without observing
    • Calling a test fair when several things change
