Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Grade 5 Science and Technology Term 3 Schemes of Work - Longhorn. The PDF version is also available upon your request.

  The scheme of work primarily uses the Longhorn Science and Technology Grade 5 pupil's book and teacher's guide as its main learning resources, supported by digital computing devices, Scratch software, and everyday practical materials.

  The scheme is organized into the following strands and substrands:

  • Force and Energy
    • Sound Energy
    • Heat Transfer

  The topics covered throughout the term include:

  • Sound Energy and Propagation: Investigating sources of sound (vibrating air, strings, and drums), demonstrating that sound travels in all directions from a source, and experimenting with sound reflection and echoes using tubes, cliffs, halls, and valleys.
  • Effects of Loud Sound: Examining the adverse effects of excessive noise in the environment, analyzing government initiatives in managing sound pollution, and appreciating the functional role of sound in daily life.
  • Sound Projects and Digital Programming: Designing and making sound-producing instruments (such as drums, guitars, bells, and wind instruments) from locally available materials, and creating an interactive sound game using Scratch programming blocks.
  • Modes of Heat Transfer: Performing experiments to explore conduction, convection, and radiation in nature using heat sources, water, spoons, cooking sticks, and maize cobs.
  • Conductors of Heat and Applications: Classifying materials into good and poor conductors of heat, and investigating practical applications of heat transfer in cooking, melting, and freezing.
  • Heat Safety and Fire Emergencies: Observing essential safety precautions when handling heat sources and demonstrating appropriate emergency procedures during fire outbreaks.
  • Heat Conservation Practical Projects: Fabricating insulated kitchen oven gloves using local materials, and constructing an energy-efficient fireless cooker for food preparation at home and school.

  This downloadable PDF and Word document provides clear learning outcomes, key inquiry questions, practical experiments, and rubric assessments to ensure comprehensive Grade 5 Science and Technology coverage in Term 3.
