About this Unit
In 2009 this unit replaced by 101488 - Science and Technology 1 (AREP). This unit examines the role of science and technology as an integral part of the total primary school curriculum. Current policies, trends and practices in teaching primary school science and technology are examined and related to significant contributory ideas - historical, theoretical and practical. The practical component involves students using and implementing modern curriculum materials, and the procedures involved in adopting curricula, and creating and sequencing them as a cohesive unit of work. Workshop activities form a base for discussion and qualitative evaluation of science and technology activities and principles. These activities emphasise science inquiry, interactive approaches, learning in science and technology.
