Mentor Science and Technology Grade 6 is a comprehensive and curriculum-compliant course book developed to meet the expectations of the Competency-Based Curriculum. It is designed to foster learners’ understanding of scientific concepts and technological processes through inquiry, discovery, and hands-on activities that relate to their daily experiences and environment.

The book is organized into clear and logically sequenced strands and sub-strands, each addressing specific learning outcomes. It adopts a learner-centred approach that promotes critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving—key competencies in the CBC.

Key features include:

• Engaging, age-appropriate explanations of scientific and technological concepts supported by clear illustrations.

• Practical activities, experiments, and projects using locally available materials to enhance experiential learning.

• Integration of cross-cutting issues such as environmental conservation, health education, and safety.

• End-of-topic assessments and revision exercises to check understanding and prepare learners for formative and summative assessments.

• Real-life applications that help learners connect scientific knowledge to their environment and everyday life.

The book also encourages innovation and exploration through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)-based projects, allowing learners to build, design, and investigate solutions to real-world problems. Teachers are supported with step-by-step guidance to facilitate interactive lessons, group work, and competency-based assessment.

Mentor Science and Technology Grade 6 equips learners with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for understanding the world around them and applying scientific and technological solutions in a responsible and informed way. It is an excellent tool for inspiring curiosity, innovation, and lifelong learning in young scientists and technologists.
