PHYSICAL SCIENCE | WETENSKAP - Nadine Houzé
The Science Success book for Grade 10, 11 and 12 is unique in the sense that it is the only Science workbook available presented with questionnaires and memorandums similar to the well-known Mathematics Exam aid book.
Every book consists of 10 physics and 10 chemistry questionnaires with complete answers according to the CAPS syllabus. The Grade 12 book also includes a summary with examples of five of the Grade 11 themes since many learners battle to get hold of their Grade 11 question books from schools for revision purposes.
The books are classified according to themes e.g.:
This classification simplifies the revision process because definitions of the most commonly asked exam questions are summarized in the first part of the workbook.
Amanda du Plessis, teacher, department head and external examiner for physical science for the matric pupils, worked in the Free State for more than 20 years. After she had to withdraw from fulltime teaching because of health issues, she continued her passion for teaching by teaching matric pupils part-time and doing teacher training. All her years of experience and her knowledge of what it takes to achieve success in this subject, are deposited into this study guide. The objective of the book is to assist learners with sufficient revision before exams. The questionnaires in this book are published with the permission of the Executive Director: Examinations of the Basic Department of Education.
Amanda is currently working on a similar work book that will include exercises for Grade 9 learners. Despite this grade being decisive for future subject choices, workbooks for this grade are not readily available. If learners succeed in learning the basic principles of Physics and Chemistry in Grade 9, this subject may become a possibility for Grade 10 and the leap to the Grade 10 level much simpler. This book will only be available from April next year.
Die Science Success Fisiese Wetenskap boeke vir Gr. 10, 11 en 12 is uniek, omdat dit die engiste wetenskap werkboek is wat vraestelle en memorandums bevat, soortgelyk aan alombekende Wiskunde Eksamenhulpboek.
Elke boek bevat 10 fisika- en 10 chemievraestelle, asook volledige antwoorde volgens die KABV-sillabus. Die Graad 12-boek bevat ook ‘n opsomming en voorbeelde van 5 temas van die Graad 11-jaar. Dit is belangrik want die meeste leerders sukkel om in hul matriekjaar Graad 11-vraestelboeke by die skole te kry.
Die boeke word ook volgens onderwerp geklassifiseer, bv.
organiese chemie, ens.
Hierdie klassifikasie help om hersiening te vergemaklik. Definisies wat dikwels gevra word, is voor in die boek opgesom.
Die opsteller van hierdie reeks, Amanda du Plessis, het vir langer as 20 jaar in die Vrystaat Fisiese Wetenskappe as Departementshoof aangebied. Sy het ook as sub-eksaminator opgetree tydens die nasien van matriekantwoordstelle. Nadat sy weens swak gesondheid moes bedank, het sy nog vir 13 jaar klasse vir matrieks en kursusse vir onderwysers aangebied. Al hierdie waardevolle ondervinding is in haar werkboeke gestort.
Die doel met die boeke is om die leerders te help met hersiening voor toetse en eksamens. Die vraestelle in hierdie boek is gepubliseer met die toestemming van die Uitvoerende Direkteur: Eksamens van die Basiese Onderwysdepartement.
Amanda is tans besig met ‘n soortgelyke boek met oefeninge vir die Graad 9-leerders aangesien daar op die oomblik geen werkboeke in die mark vir die baie belangrike graad beskikbaar is nie. As die leerders reeds in Graad 9 die basiese beginsels van Fisika en Chemie ken, verstaan en vaslê, is die sprong na Graad 10 veel makliker.
Die boek sal eers teen April beskikbaar wees.
