Matters Series
Science
Matters is a course for ABET learners
which meets the unit standards in the Natural Sciences Learning
Area at NQF 1. It also supports learners who are in a Further
Education and Training (FET) environment.
The series
consists of the following modules: Life and Living, Matter and
Materials, Energy and Change, Earth and Beyond.
Besides covering
the essential concepts and principles of a formal curriculum,
Science Matters deals with topics like environmental and social
issues, health and safety and the utilisation of resources. The
course emphasises science in the real world and makes learners
active participants in the learning process. Through projects,
discussions and other practical activities, the course builds
a meaningful understanding of concepts which learners can apply
in their everyday lives. In addition, the course has numerous
investigations that are designed to allow for experimental work
with inexpensive, simple and readily available materials.
The prior
knowledge and experience of learners is recognised and their learning
progression is from the known to the unknown through a problem-solving
approach. Learners who complete the course will be eligible to
gain nationally recognised accreditation.
