Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Grade 10 Home Science Term 3 Schemes of Work 2026 - MTP (Mountain Top Publishers). The PDF version is also available upon your request.

  This downloadable Scheme of Work provides structured, practical guidance for teaching Grade 10 Home Science during Term 3 2026. Aligned with the Senior School Home Science curriculum, the scheme utilizes the MTP Home Science Grade 10 Learner's Book (pages 203–277) alongside sewing tools, fabric samples, sewing machines, and pressing equipment.

  The scheme is organized into the following strands and substrands:

  • Clothing and Textiles
    • Sewing Tools, Equipment and Materials
    • Textile Fibres
    • Stitches
    • Seams
    • Management of Fullness

  The topics covered throughout the term include:

  • Sewing Tools, Equipment and Materials: Classifying sewing tools into cutting (dressmaker's shears, pinking shears, seam rippers), marking (tailor's chalk, tracing wheels), measuring, sewing, finishing (irons, pressing cloths), and storage tools. Learners examine hand-driven, treadle, and motor-driven sewing machines, identify machine parts (spool pin, tension disc, feed dog, balance wheel), practice cleaning and oiling maintenance, and troubleshoot common machine faults (thread breaking, skipped stitches, fabric puckering).
  • Textile Fibres: Terminology (fibres, strands, yarn, textiles), classifying natural (cotton, linen, wool, silk) vs. artificial (viscose rayon, acetate, nylon, polyester, acrylic) fibres, reading clothing care labels, and executing fibre identification tests (physical feel/sight test and burning test flame, odor, residue).
  • Stitches: General stitching rules; temporary stitches (even, long and short, diagonal tacking, thread marking); permanent joining stitches (running, backstitch, machine, hemming, slip hemming, overcasting, loop stitch); and decorative embroidery stitches (chain stitch, stem stitch, satin stitch).
  • Seams: Definition and selection factors; step-by-step construction of Open seams, French seams, Overlaid seams, and Double-stitched seams; evaluating seam quality standards, safety precautions, and proper fabric waste disposal.
  • Management of Fullness: Selection criteria; working knife pleats, box pleats, inverted pleats, gathers, single and double-pointed darts, tucks, elastic casings, and easing; concluding with a practical garment construction project (e.g., skirt, short, apron, or reflective jacket).

  This downloadable PDF and Word Home Science Scheme of Work equips teachers with step-by-step practical stitching tasks, sample folder mounting guidelines, and portfolio evaluation criteria for Term 3 2026.
