The Basic Technology Scheme of Work for Primary 3 is designed to introduce young learners to the foundational concepts of technology and energy. Throughout the three terms, students engage in interactive discussions, practical activities, and examinations that progressively build their understanding of underdeveloped and developed technology, as well as forms of energy, particularly light energy and its reflection. This comprehensive approach ensures that students gain a solid foundation in these topics, setting the stage for further exploration and learning in subsequent grades.
