Plants: Products and Processes
Natural Sciences (NS)
Plants as Raw Materials
Key concept: Different parts of plants (fruits, vegetables, flowers, leaves, seeds, wood) are natural raw materials that can be turned into useful products (DBE, 2011).
Inquiry activity: Examine real plant parts and ask guiding questions to develop observation skills (DBE, 2011).
Changes Plants Undergo
Key concept: Plants change through natural and human processes such as growing, ripening, drying, cooking and crushing (DBE, 2011).
Inquiry activity: Observe and describe a plant material before and after a simple process to develop comparison skills (DBE, 2011).
Social Sciences (SS)
How Communities Use Plant Products
Key concept: People and communities use plant products every day for food, medicine, clothing, decoration and building (DBE, 2011).
Inquiry activity: Group discussion about everyday plant products used at home to develop communication and social awareness (DBE, 2011).
People Involved in Plant Products
Key concept: Farmers, gardeners, sellers and workers help grow and prepare plant products for communities (DBE, 2011).
Inquiry activity: Draw or role-play the journey of a plant product from farm to home to develop understanding of social roles (DBE, 2011).
Technology
Processing Plant Materials
Key concept: Technology helps process plants into useful products through cutting, drying, cooking, juicing or preserving (DBE, 2011).
Inquiry activity: Carry out a simple process (e.g. making juice) and discuss the tools used to develop technological process skills (DBE, 2011).
Designing and Making Products from Plants
Key concept: Learners can design and make useful items from plant materials (DBE, 2011).
Inquiry activity: Create a simple product (fruit kebab, flower card or vegetable print) to develop design and making skills (DBE, 2011).
