2020 REVISED CURRICULUM AND ASSESSMENT PLANS PHYSICAL Sciences GRADE 10 Implementation: June 2020
Presentation Outline 1.Purpose 2.Amendments to the Content Overview for the Phase; 3.Amendments to the Annual Teaching Plan; 4.Amendments School Based Assessment (SBA) 5.Conclusion
1. Purpose To mediate the amendments of the trimmed and re-organised 2020 Annual Teaching Plan including School Based Physical Sciences Gr 10 for implementation in June 2020 as stipulated in Circular S2 of 2020. To ensure that meaningful proceeds during the remaining teaching time as per the revised school calendar. To assist teachers with guided pacing and sequencing of curriculum assessment. Assessment for teaching content and
1. Purpose (continued) To enable teachers to cover the essential core content /skills in each grade within the available time. To assist teachers with planning for the different forms of assessment. To ensure learners are adequately prepared for the subsequent year/s in terms of content, skills, knowledge, attitudes and values
2. Amendments to the Content Overview for the Phase
Summary: Amendments to the Content Overview for the Phase Knowledge Area Grade 10 Grade 11 Grade 12 No amendments No amendments No amendments No amendments No amendments MECHANICS Removed: Geometrical Optics: Refraction, Snell s law, critical angles & total internal reflection 2D & 3D Wave fronts Diffraction WAVES, SOUND AND LIGHT Removed: Magnetism No amendments Electromagnetism: Removed all calculations ELECTRICIT Y AND MAGNETISM
Summary: Amendments to the Content Overview for the Phase Knowledge Area Grade 10 Grade 11 Grade 12 Removed: Particles substances are made of No amendments Ideal gases and thermal properties: Retained: Kinetic molecular theory & Boyle s law MATTER AND MATERIALS No amendments Removed: Reactions in aqueous solution No amendments CHEMICAL CHANGE Removed: Hydrosphere Removed: Exploiting the lithosphere No amendments CHEMICAL SYSTEMS
3. Amendments to the Annual Teaching Plan
Summary: Reorganisation of content topics Particles substances are made of (Term 2) was removed from the ATP. The following two topics were moved from Term 2 to Term 3: Physical and chemical change Representing chemical change Magnetism (Term 2) was removed in the revised ATP. Electrostatics & Electric circuits will remain as only topics in Term 2. Physical and Chemical Change, Representing Chemical Change and Quantitative Aspects were grouped together in Term 3.
Summary: Reorganisation of content topics Term 3: Reactions in aqueous solutions was removed. The following two topics were moved from Term 3 to Term 4: Motion in one dimension (4 hrs) Instantaneous speed and velocity and the equations of motion Term 4: The hydrosphere was removed
Summary: Amendment to weighting of content topics Final Examination Revised weighting 26,7% Marks in final Paper 40 CAPS weighting Knowledge Area Mechanics 25% 13,3% 20 Wave, Sound & Light 13,3% Electricity & Magnetism 13,3% 20 11,7% 20% 40 Matter & Material 23,3% 26,7% 30 Chemical Change 20% 0 0 Chemical Systems 6,7% TOTAL 150
Summary: Content/Topics Amended Content Term Amendment Particles substances are made of Removed whole topic CAPS: p 32, 33, 34 2 Physical & Chemical Change Moved to Term 3 CAPS: p 35, 36, 37 2 Representing Chemical Change Moved to Term 3 CAPS: p 37 2 Removed whole topic CAPS: p 38, 39 Magnetism 2
Summary: Content/Topics Amended Content Term Amendment Reactions in aqueous solutions Removed whole topic CAPS: p 46, 47, 48, 49 3 Motioninone dimension Moved 4 hrs to Term 4 CAPS: p 54, 55 3 Instantaneous speed and velocity and the equations of motion Moved to Term 4 CAPS: p 56, 57 3 Removed whole topic CAPS: p 60 The hydrosphere 4
4. Amendments School Based Assessment (SBA)
Summary: Revised Programme of Assessment Term Task SBA Weighting 1 Experiment 10% Control Test 40% 3 Control Test 40% 4 Experiment 10%
Summary: Revision Final Examination Structure The final exam paper will be ONE paper only. The total will be 150 marks and the duration will be 3 hours. Physics: 80 marks; Chemistry: 70 marks Question 1 will be 10 multiple choice questions Q1.1 to Q1.5: Physics Q1.6 to Q1.10: Chemistry Questions Q2 to Q5: Physics Questions Q6 to Q10: Chemistry
Summary: Revision Final Examination Structure Weighting Marks Knowledge Area 26,7% 40 Mechanics 13,3% 20 Wave, Sound & Light 13,3% 20 Electricity & Magnetism 26,7% 40 Matter & Material 20% 30 Chemical Change 0 0 Chemical Systems TOTAL 150
Conclusion The ATP was trimmed in terms of some content. The ATP was designed to also cater for the discussion and corrections of the March and September control tests. 2 hours were allocated for the feedback on each test. Time allocated per topic is a guideline teaching might be shorter/longer depending on the situation in each school. Time allocated should be enough to complete the revised ATP.
