The chapters are structured to make their contents interactive to the
pupils, beginning with objectives followed by keywords where pupils learn
the major scientific words they are bound to come across in the course of
their study and multiple activities that will help their interaction with the
processes of approach, observation, manipulation, inquiry, experimenting
and grouping or classifying. There is also revision exercise that will help to

Teachers, who are the facilitators of learning and organisers of interaction
between pupils and objects in the environment, will find this resource material
very relevant and useful, while pupils will find it captivating such that a
positive attitude towards the study of science and technology is instilled.
