How this course is shaped

Introduction

This is the Grade 1 Science and Technology course (Ages 6–7). It is written so a child can learn with a teacher, a parent, or a careful older sibling. Every lesson tells you what will happen, why it matters, how to try it, and how to know you understood. The PlusOne / HBC teacher’s guide PDF sits beside the lessons so you can open the original pages when you want the full book.

What you will learn

You will grow in Science and Technology through these units: Health and hygiene; Food hygiene; Environmental hygiene; Health and wellness; Disease prevention; Food groups; Sources of food; Food preparation; Crop plants; Vegetable gardening and 6 more units. 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.
