ECD B Science and Technology
Ages 4–5 · 8 units · 32 lessons
Introduction
This is a Science and Technology course for ECD B (Ages 4–5). A young child learns with play, songs, pictures and kind talk. An adult should sit nearby, praise effort, and stop before the child is tired. We follow Zimbabwe’s Heritage-Based Curriculum: Ubuntu/Unhu, home language, and real life first.
What you will learn
You will grow in Science and Technology through these units: Health and hygiene; Food and nutrition; Crop, plants and animals; Environmental awareness and conservation; Tools, equipment and implements; Health and hygiene; Disaster risk management and resilience; Educational technology and innovation. By the end you should be able to talk about each idea, try a task, and connect it to home and Zimbabwe.
How we learn
We learn in tiny steps. We look, we say, we do, we praise. If the child looks away, we pause. Short, happy lessons beat long, hard ones.
What you need
Crayons, paper, and something to count or hold. An adult nearby to help. Safe objects from home or the yard: a leaf, a cup of water, a stone.
