Summary

• Description:

  The PDF document comprises Grade 7 Rationalized Integrated Science Curriculum Design.

  This curriculum design is developed by the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD). It was first published in 2022 and revised in 2024 following the rationalization of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) based on recommendations from the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms (PWPER) and feedback from curriculum implementers.

  • Level: Junior School (Grade 7)
  • Learning Area: Integrated Science
  • Lessons per Week: 5 (40 minutes per lesson)
  • Total Suggested Lessons: 150
  • Curriculum Approach: Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC)
  • Focus: Development of scientific literacy, inquiry skills, practical experimentation, environmental awareness, and preparation for STEM pathways at Senior School

  The design outlines national goals of education, essence statement, subject general learning outcomes, core competencies, values, pertinent and contemporary issues (PCIs), suggested learning experiences, key inquiry questions, assessment rubrics, learning resources, and guidelines for Community Service Learning (CSL).

  It covers the following strands and sub-strands with suggested number of lessons:

  • Strand 1.0: Scientific Investigation
    • 1.1 Introduction to Integrated Science – 12 lessons
    • 1.2 Laboratory Safety – 14 lessons
    • 1.3 Laboratory Apparatus and Instruments – 16 lessons
  • Strand 2.0: Mixtures, Elements and Compounds
    • 2.1 Mixtures – 18 lessons
    • 2.2 Acids, Bases and Indicators – 22 lessons
  • Strand 3.0: Living Things and Their Environment
    • 3.1 Human Reproductive System – 16 lessons
    • 3.2 Human Excretory System – 18 lessons
  • Strand 4.0: Force and Energy
    • 4.1 Electrical Energy – 18 lessons
    • 4.2 Magnetism – 16 lessons

  The curriculum enables learners to develop scientific knowledge, practical laboratory skills, problem-solving abilities, and positive attitudes towards science, while preparing them for specialization in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and other STEM-related pathways at Senior School.
