Grade<\/td>\nCAPS Topic<\/td>\nCAPS Description<\/td>\nPossible Ideas<\/td>\nExtension<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
7<\/td>\nLife and Living (Natural Science)<\/td>\nLearners study the biosphere, where life exists, including the lithosphere (soil and rocks), hydrosphere (water), and atmosphere (gases). They explore how living organisms, including plants, depend on sunlight for energy.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
8<\/td>\nEnergy and Change (Natural Science)<\/td>\nThis topic covers various forms of energy, including solar energy. Learners investigate how energy is transferred and transformed, with a focus on the Sun as a primary energy source.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
9<\/td>\nEnergy and Change (Natural Science)<\/td>\nLearners delve deeper into energy transformations and the role of the Sun in the water cycle, weather patterns, and the Earth’s climate system.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
10<\/td>\nEnergy and Change (Physical Science)<\/td>\nLearners explore different forms of energy, including solar energy. They study energy transformations and the law of conservation of energy.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
11<\/td>\nHeat and Temperature (Physical Science)<\/td>\nThis topic covers the transfer of heat, the concept of temperature, and the specific heat capacity of substances. Learners investigate how the sun’s energy affects temperature changes.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
12<\/td>\nElectricity and Magnetism (Physical Science)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 .<\/td>\nLearners study the generation of electricity, including the role of solar energy in power generation. They explore the principles behind solar cells and renewable energy sources<\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
