Home » Primary 2 Scheme of Work » Primary 2 Basic Science and Technology Scheme of Work
Basic Science and Technology for Primary 2 covers three broad subjects, which are Basic Science, Information Technology and Physical and Health Education. The scheme identifies the topics to be taken in the individual subjects that are encompassed in this subject.
The topics covered in this subject are: soil, clay, Sound, classification and features of a computer, movement, athletics, swimming, health and personal hygiene etc.
At the end of the session the pupils with the help of their instructors should have been able to identify senses in humans and their function, discuss soil and soil types and their properties and importance to living in the society. Know the history and classification of computers, learn about safety rules in movement etc.
This subject is a practical subject, the class is expected to be interactive and lively and practical examples should be given from the concrete objects around them and they should be asked to relate what is being taught to their surroundings.
