SCI00: Science (problem solving and innovations)

About Course
This course is designed for students at kindergarten under problem solving and innovations. The course is designed to addressing two important aspects of science such as (i) exploration and experimentation and (ii) use of technology. In exploration and experimentation, students describe some natural occurrences, using their own observations; describe some differences between living and non-living things; describe local natural habitats; identify patterns and cycles in the natural world; describe characteristics of natural materials and demonstrate understanding of some basic concepts related to them; describe the functions of common objects found at home and at school; identify energy…
This course is designed for students at kindergarten under problem solving and innovations. The course is designed to addressing two important aspects of science such as (i) exploration and experimentation and (ii) use of technology. In exploration and experimentation, students describe some natural occurrences, using their own observations; describe some differences between living and non-living things; describe local natural habitats; identify patterns and cycles in the natural world; describe characteristics of natural materials and demonstrate understanding of some basic concepts related to them; describe the functions of common objects found at home and at school; identify energy sources used by familiar tools or toys; experiment with simple machines; make a specific plan; describe the steps, and carry out the plan; make appropriate observations about results or findings; demonstrate awareness of the need for recycling.
In use of technology, students use familiar technology appropriately; identify familiar technological items and describe their use in daily life; make things using a variety of tools and techniques; work with others in using technology; demonstrate awareness that familiar objects are designed to suit the human body.
