List and explain three (3) specific aims of Natural Science and Technology.
QUESTION 2: [30 MARKS...
The three specific aims of Natural Science and Technology are outlined as follows:
Specific Aim 1: ‘Doing Science and Technology’
This aim focuses on the practical aspect of learning. It emphasizes the need for learners to
be able to complete investigations, analyse problems, and use practical processes and
skills in designing and evaluating solutions. This involves planning and conducting simple
investigations and problem-solving that require practical ability. Additionally, learners are
encouraged to develop attitudes and values that underpin this ability, such as respecting
living things and showing care for the environment. For example, learners should not harm
or damage living things when conducting their investigations and should release them
unharmed back into their natural habitat.

Specific Aim 2: ‘Understanding and connecting ideas’
This aim focuses on developing a solid grasp of scientific, technological, and
environmental knowledge and applying it in new contexts. It emphasizes the
importance of building a framework of knowledge for learners and helping them make
connections between different concepts and ideas. This goes beyond just acquiring
factual knowledge and involves discussions and activities that relate to previously
acquired knowledge and experiences. The aim is for learners to develop a deep
understanding of science and technology and how it can be applied in various
contexts.
Specific Aim 3: ‘Science, Technology and Society’
This aim emphasizes the practical uses of Natural Sciences and Technology in society
and the environment, as well as the values that make learners caring and creative
citizens. Learners are encouraged to understand how science and technology are
relevant to their lives outside of school and to see the everyday applications of these
subjects, such as improving water quality, sustainable food production, and energy-
efficient housing. Additionally, learners are guided to explore the range of career and
job possibilities that stem from their knowledge of science and technology.
