Summary

• Description:

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

  The scheme of work is aligned with the Grade 5 Science and Technology curriculum design and primarily references Super Minds Science and Technology Grade 5.

  The scheme is organized under the following strand and substrands:

  Force and Energy

  • Floating and Sinking: Testing Buoyancy, Factors Influencing Floating and Sinking, Everyday Applications, Life Savers, and Flooding Mitigation

  • Sound Energy: Sources of Sound, Sound Propagation, Sound Reflection and Echoes, Making Sound Instruments, Sound Pollution, Government Regulations, and Scratch Coding

  • Heat Transfer: Conduction, Convection, Radiation, Good and Poor Conductors, Thermal Applications, Handling Heat Safely, Fire Emergency Response, Making Oven Gloves, and Constructing a Fireless Cooker

  The topics covered throughout the term include:

  • Floating and Sinking: Conducting buoyancy investigations using diverse materials such as dry wood, stones, metals, plastics, and feathers; analyzing factors affecting floating and sinking, including size, weight, and shape; exploring applications in water transport, swimming, and diving; utilizing floaters as life-saving devices; and examining the effects of flooding along with mitigation measures.

  • Sound Energy and Acoustic Principles: Investigating sound production through vibrating air and strings, demonstrating that sound travels in all directions, exploring sound reflection and echoes in forests and large halls, constructing homemade musical instruments from local materials, evaluating the hazards of loud sounds and noise pollution, exploring government regulations on noise control, and programming a sound game using Scratch.

  • Modes of Heat Transfer and Conductors: Investigating conduction, convection, and radiation through practical experiments, classifying materials into good and poor thermal conductors, and exploring practical uses of heat transfer in cooking, melting, and body temperature regulation.

  • Heat Safety and Practical Thermal Projects: Practicing heat handling safety, reviewing fire emergency response procedures, and undertaking hands-on design projects to fabricate protective oven gloves and construct heat-retaining fireless cookers using locally available materials.

  This downloadable Grade 5 Science and Technology Scheme of Work features inquiry-based experiments, digital interactive activities, practical maker projects, and continuous assessment rubrics for Grade 5 Term 3.
