Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Grade 10 Home Science Term 3 Schemes of Work 2026 - Mentor. The PDF version is also available upon your request.

  This downloadable Grade 10 Home Science Scheme of Work offers comprehensive lesson planning for Term 3 2026. Based on the Mentor Home Science Learner's Book (pages 200–285), this resource focuses heavily on practical textile testing, sewing machine operation, stitch/seam construction, and garment making.

  The scheme is organized into the following strands and substrands:

  • Clothing and Textiles
    • Sewing Tools, Equipment and Materials
    • Textile Fibres
    • Clothing Construction Processes

  The topics covered throughout the term include:

  • Sewing Tools, Equipment and Materials: Categorizing tools (cutting, marking, measuring, sewing, finishing, storage) and tool selection criteria. Learners study sewing machine types (hand, treadle, electric), machine components, upper/lower threading, tension adjustment, troubleshooting machine faults, and performing routine cleaning, oiling, and storage.
  • Textile Fibres: Terminology and classification (natural plant/animal vs. artificial synthetic/regenerated). Learners perform fibre identification tests: physical (feel/sight), burning (flame, odor, ash), microscopic, and chemical tests. Lessons cover desirable/undesirable properties and uses of cotton, linen, wool, silk, polyester, acrylic, and viscose rayon, including mounting sample collections.
  • Clothing Construction Processes:
    • Stitches: General stitching rules, temporary stitches (even/uneven tacking, diagonal tacking, thread marking), permanent joining stitches (running, backstitch, hemming, slip-hemming), neatening stitches (loop, buttonhole), and decorative embroidery (chain, stem).
    • Seams: Seam terminology (seam allowance, seam line), classification (conspicuous vs. inconspicuous, self-neatening), and constructing open, plain, French, overlaid, and double-stitched seams.
    • Management of Fullness: Purpose and selection factors; making single/double pointed darts, knife pleats, box pleats, inverted pleats, gathers, elastic casings, and easing; assessing work against quality standards, and completing a practical garment construction project.

  This 2026 downloadable PDF and Word Home Science scheme provides clean HTML formatting, practical laboratory assessment rubrics, peer critique sheets, and project evaluation guides.
