Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Grade 6 Rationalized Science and Technology Term 3 Schemes of Work - Super Minds. The PDF version is also available upon your request.

  The scheme of work utilizes the Super Minds Science and Technology Grade 6 Teacher's Guide and Pupil's Book as the primary course texts.

  The scheme is organized into the following strands and substrands:

  • Force and Energy
    • Levers as Simple Machines (Meaning, Key Parts: Fulcrum, Effort, Load)
    • Classification of Levers (First Class, Second Class, and Third Class Levers)
    • Everyday Applications of Levers (Workshop, Kitchen, and Garden Tools)
    • Making a Beam Balance (Material Sourcing and Project Assembly)
    • Slopes as Simple Machines (Inclined Planes, Types, Everyday Uses, and Importance)
    • Simple Slope Construction Project (Design and Local Material Fabrication)

  The topics covered throughout the term include:

  • Mechanics of Levers: Investigating levers as simple machines, identifying and diagramming the three key parts (fulcrum/pivot, effort, and load), and understanding mechanical advantage in simplifying physical work.
  • Classification and Applications of Levers: Categorizing levers into first-class, second-class, and third-class categories, and practically exploring real-world tools including pliers, scissors, hole punches, see-saws, wheelbarrows, bottle openers, nail clippers, nutcrackers, shovels, fishing rods, tweezers, and tongs.
  • Beam Balance Construction Project: Sourcing local materials such as wooden planks, rulers, pivots, and strings to design, assemble, and calibrate a working beam balance.
  • Inclined Planes and Slopes: Exploring the concept of slopes as simple machines, examining daily applications such as ramps, ladders, staircases, winding hill roads, wedges, rooftops, lorry loading ramps, escalators, and cableways.
  • Practical Slope Fabrication Project: Collecting sustainable local materials to construct practical inclined planes for school and household utility.

  This downloadable Science and Technology Scheme of Work features inquiry-driven experiments, hands-on maker projects, group discussions, and diagnostic assessments for Grade 6 Term 3.
