Subject: Natural Science 
Grade: 4
Goal: 6: Clean water and sanitation.


I will be selecting Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. I will introduce this in the subject: Natural Sciences gr 4, as this subject focuses on life. According to the CAPS document for grade 4 Natural science, one of the main themes are Life and living things. The theme of Clean water and sanitation can be introduced either in the first term when Life and living things are the topics of discussion, as it focuses on conditions for life. This topic could also be addressed in the fourth term when the topic of discussion is: The Planet Earth- where all the different aspects of the earth are being discussed including habitats and life cycles. Water is one of the most important factors for life and without water, all things would die. Clean water is thus also very important as it serves as a habitat for various living organisms. These habitats can thus, be destroyed if the water was polluted. Natural water sources also serve as a supplier for households. These are thus the points that will be addressed when speaking about the 6th goal that is Clean Water and Sanitation. 

 

Life on Land to help protect the Earth’s ecosystems, promote the sustainable management of forests, and put a stop to land degradation and biodiversity loss, this is part of Natural science and I would introduce this topic to my grade 5 class. This goal aims to conserve all forms of life on land, from humans through to every last insect. It is of utmost importance that I as teacher bring it under my learner’s attention how important it is to do small things like for example, recycling, volunteering for clean-ups in the community, saving water,ect, to protect the Earth’s ecosystems.

 

We will also discuss how focusing on protecting forests and other natural habitats, can not only ensure that wildlife thrive, but people around the world can also benefit from improved living conditions as the environment becomes healthier. Environmental issues can intensify challenges in communities, such as food insecurity. The loss of forests can also make it harder to ensure the well-being of all the people living in an area, and to disrupt cycles of poverty.

For Life on Land to be successful – many of the related targets, such as halting deforestation and restoring degraded forests, were set to be completed by 2020. And so, even more focused and effective conservation efforts are necessary. We as a classroom will do a project each year to help save Life on Land by planting a tree. By doing this project, it won’t necessary help save life on earth but it will help educate our learners, and so the future generation, to be aware and to help do something about this problem.

Aangesien beide hierdie doele verbind is met water het ons dus besluit om water as tema te vat. Die groep het besluit dat ons die tema van water sal bespreek in wiskunde. 

Ons het besluit om water as hooftema te vat en dit saam met die tema van data-hantering te smelt. 

Volgens die CAPS dokument van gr 4-6 wiskunde is die indeing van die onderwerp data hantering as volg: 

Data hantering 

Onderwerpe:                                   1. Versameling en organiseering van data,                          2.Voorstelling van data, 3.Analisering, interpretering en verslag van data. 

Die Tema moet vir 10 ure bespreek word in klastyd 

·         Versameling van data deur middel van tel merkies en tabel opnames 

·         Rangskikking van data: Groot na klein 

·         Teken van verskeidenheid van grafieke: Piktogram, Staafgrafieke. 

·         Krietiese lees van grafieke en interpretasie in: woorde, piktogramme, staafgrafieke en sirkel diagrame. 

Die aanbeveelde assessering vir hierdie kontent area is ’n project. 

Indien die assessering ’n projek is sal dit maklik wees vir ons as onderwysers om verskye van hierdie doele wat voorgelê is te bespreek. Aangesien ons 2 hooftemas oor water handel kan hierdie projek: Skoon water en sanitasie in Suid-Afrika en Lewe onder die water. 

 

1.    Data kan versamel oor reenval, water verbruik, hoeveel mense siek raak van vuil water. 

2.    Die data wat versamel is oor die reenval, water verbruik, hoeveel mense siek raak van vuil wate voor te stel deur middel van- telmerkies, tabelle en ’n verskeidenheid van grafieke insluitend: piktogramme en staaf grafieke.

3.    Grafieke wat gegee is  krieties kan lees en verslag lewer daaroor in woorde. 

4.    Rangskiking van vesamelde data - groot na klein. 

 

 Die EE aspek se doel van hierdie tema: 

1.    Die bewusmaking van water gebruik in die huis 

2.    Droogtes en die effek van reenval in sekere gebiede 

3.    Maniere waarop water bespaar kan word. 

4.    Die effek van vuil water.
