The document discusses the curriculum design for teaching science in grades 3-6, highlighting a spiral progression approach. This method involves presenting key concepts repeatedly with increasing complexity to enhance depth and breadth of knowledge. The goal is to enable learners to progressively build upon their understanding and skills in science.

2. CONTENTS OF ELEMENTARY SCIENCE IN A SPIRAL
PROGRESSION
Identified the contents of Science in Grade 3-6 in a spiral
progression
Explained that the contents or subject matter of Science
progresses in complexity from Grade level to another.

10. Science in a spiral curriculum design is one in which
key concepts are presented repeatedly throughout the
curriculum but with deepening layers of complexity.
The learner tries to spiral upwards learning as the new
knowledge is introduced as well as the new process
skills are developed. This will increase the breadth,
and the depth of knowledge achieved. This is the
curriculum design for Science in the Basic education
to start with the Grade 3-Grade 6.
