Learners will learn about acids, bases, their properties, the pH scale, indicators, and neutralisation reaction. At the end of the project, they will use these concepts to create a bath bomb, a painting or an indicator to test water quality.

LEADING QUESTION:

What can we make with acids and bases?

Learners understand the concept of electricity, electric circuits, conductors and insulators to design their own quiz board. They will then create a manual or host a game to demonstrate and present their quiz board.

LEADING QUESTION:

Can you make an exciting game using electric circuits?

Learners will learn the concepts of weather, climate and wind formation, and design a safety campaign for their community with precautions to keep in mind during natural disasters such as storms and cyclones.

Learners will explore the properties, types, and uses of soil found in their locality. They will test soil pH and create a compost bin to promote soil fertility. They will then choose the most suitable plant to grow in the soil available to them. 

LEADING QUESTION:

How can I analyse and prepare the soil to grow my own plant?

Learners will create their own cotton articles and calculate the price they will sell them at. They will use the knowledge of the life cycle of cotton, and profit and loss, to do so.

LEADING QUESTION:

How much money can you make selling fabric products?

Learners will understand the concepts of speed, how to calculate speed, distance covered and time taken, and plot motion-time graphs. They will use these concepts to design a game.

LEADING QUESTION:

What does it take to set a speed record?

Learners will create a conservation tool like a rainwater harvesting tool or any method of forest conservation based on their understanding of water and forests. They will explore the concepts of water cycle, sources of water, water scarcity, uses of water, deforestation and afforestation to come up with this tool. 

LEADING QUESTION:

What can we do to protect the environment in which we live?

Learners will explore electric circuits and the effects of electric currents.
They will use these concepts to create their own electric appliances.

LEADING QUESTION:

What does it take to create an electric appliance?

Learners will create a model of a room that gets completely lit up by one beam of light entering through a small opening. They will achieve this by manipulating the light beam using plane and curved mirrors, as well as lenses.

LEADING QUESTION:

Can I light up an entire room using one thin beam of light?

Learners will understand and apply the concepts of heat absorption and insulation to design and create a solar water heater. They will also understand the workings of a thermometer and use it to measure the temperature of heated water.

LEADING QUESTION:

How hot can water get if I heat it only using sunlight?
