PRODUCTS AND PROCESSES
:recycle: :
NATURAL SCIENCE
:check:Raw plant materials undergoes physical and chemical changes during processing to become useable products.
(Matter & Materials ) ( DBE,2011:57) , ( Naude & Meier ,2025:911)
ACTIVITY
Observing and Comparing Plant Properties
Learners use magnifying glasses to observe , touch and compare raw sugarcane stalks with refines sugar granules , recording sensory changes in science journals .
(Naude & Meier , 2025:97-98)
1.
Plant products and transformation
( Sugarcane to sugar).
:check: Clay gather from the earth possesses unique physical properties ( plasticity when wet , hardness , when dried / fired ) that enable its use as a building material.
(DBE , 2011:57, Naude & Meier ,2025:91)
ACTIVITY
Testing Clay Plasticity & Drying Rates
In small groups , learners mix clay samples with water , form test blacks , and measure texture , water absorption and drying time .
(Naude & Meier , 2025:99-100 , Charlesworth & Lindt ,2013)
2. Earth Materials & Physical Properties ( Clay to Bricks
SOCIAL SCIENCE
Learners anaylze historical pictures of traditional hand-made brickmaking and sugarcane harvesting compared to modern factories, arranging them on a historical order .
(Naude & Meier ,2025:49 , Chapin,2006)
2. Raw Materials Sources & Transportation ( Geography & Place
-Historical Timeline of Producation
:check:Raw materials are harvested from spesific geographic environments ( farms , quarries ) and move to processing factories and stores via transport networks . ( Naude & Meier , 2025:67)
ACTIVITY
ACTIVITY
:check:Converting raw materials into finishes products require human labor , specialized job roles ( farmers , factory workers , brickmakers ) and community cooperation.
(DBE , 2011:57 , Naude & Meier , 2025:48 )
Learners trace the geographic movement of sugarcane and clay from rural origins sites to urban stores using a simple South African picture map .
( Naude & Meier , 2025:67 , Maxim , 2010 )
1. Community workers & Economic Roles
( History and Citizenship
- Mapping resource journeys
TECHNOLOGY
2.Processing Tools & Mechanical Advantage
ACTIVITY
Testing tool Efficiency
Learners compare squeezing raw plant materials by hand versus using simple lever tools ( rolling pins , presses ) to measure efficiency and ease of extraction.
(Naude & Meier , 2025:104 , Worth et al , 2009 )
:check: Processing tools and Mechanical Devices ( crushers , presses , levers ) increase production speed and efficiency compared to manual hand processing .
(Naude & Meier ,2025:119)
1.Technological Design & Molding Processes
ACTIVITY
- Design Mini Brick Molds
Learners investigate container shapes , design a re-useable mold from recycled materials , and compress clay mixtures to form uniform bricks.
(Naude & Meier , 2025:112)
:check:Technological design uses structured steps
tools and molds to shape raw materials
into uniform , durable structures.
