For effective teaching and learning, the following are needed:
Approved textbooks and teacher’s guides for Integrated Science.
Laboratory equipment and materials: beakers, measuring cylinders, syringes, pressure gauges, springs, weights, batteries, bulbs, wires, switches.
ICT resources: simulations, animations, videos, projectors.
Protective gear: lab coats, goggles, gloves for safety.
Mathematical tools: rulers, calculators, graph papers.
Locally available materials for demonstrations: plastic bottles, basins, bicycle pumps, balloons.
Integrated Science in Grade 8 brings together concepts from Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Technology to help learners understand the natural world and apply scientific knowledge in daily life.
In Term 3, the focus is on Force and Energy, where learners explore:
How energy changes from one form to another.
The role of appliances that rely on energy transformation.
Safety measures when using energy and electrical devices.
The concept of pressure, its measurement, and its applications.
The course emphasizes practical experiments, problem-solving, and real-life applications to build scientific skills and attitudes.
By the end of Term 3, learners should be able to:
Knowledge & Understanding
Explain how energy can be transformed from one form to another.
Identify and describe appliances that rely on energy transformations.
Define pressure and explain factors affecting it.
Practical Skills
Demonstrate safe handling of appliances and energy sources.
Solve numerical problems related to pressure in solids, liquids, and gases.
Measure and calculate pressure using appropriate tools and formulas.
Attitudes & Values
Appreciate the importance of energy in everyday life.
Practice safety when handling energy and electrical devices.
Develop curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving skills in science.
