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 test the assimilation and understanding of what was taught in each chapter. 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.
