Mechanics Tools

Name the tools a mechanic uses and the job each one does, keep them clean and free of rust, and work with them safely so that nobody gets hurt.

2

Simple Machines

Discover the six simple machines hiding in wheelbarrows, wells, flagpoles and jar lids, sort levers into their three classes, and use every machine safely.

3

Air Pollution

Find out what clean air is made of, what makes it dirty (from exhaust smoke to smoky kitchens), how polluted air harms people and the planet, and what you can do to keep the air clean.

4

Cows and Goats Management

Learn how Rwandan families give cows and goats a good home, choose the right breed, feed them well and keep them clean and free from disease, and why these animals matter so much, from milk and manure to Girinka.

5

Word Processing and Spreadsheet

Make your documents stand out with bold, italic, underline, fonts and colours, then use a spreadsheet to organise information, format cells and let the computer do the sums.

6

Introduction to Emerging Technologies

You will meet the new technologies changing Rwanda — drones that fly blood to health centres, robots, virtual and augmented reality, 3D printers and artificial intelligence — learn to use AI fairly and honestly, and find out how to train a computer to tell a mango from an avocado.

7

Programming for Children

You will give exact instructions to a turtle and to Scratch sprites: drawing polygons, triangles and shapes that look 3D, doing sums and averages, keeping score with variables, and building your own interactive story and catching game.

8

Plant Reproduction

You will name every part of a flower, follow pollen from the anther to the stigma, see how cassava, bananas, potatoes and grafted avocados make new plants without seeds, and explain why plant reproduction feeds Rwanda.

9

Sustainable Waste Management

You will sort waste into biodegradable, recyclable and hazardous; trace where it comes from, including homes, health centres, farms, garages, building sites, electronics and factories; and use reduce, reuse, recycle and compost to keep Rwanda clean, just as umuganda and the plastic-bag laws do.

10

Human Circulatory System

You will follow a drop of blood through your heart, lungs and body; name the chambers of the heart, the blood vessels and the parts of blood; measure your pulse; and learn the habits and blood pressure checks that keep your circulatory system strong.

11

Human Respiratory System

You breathe in and out about fifteen times a minute without even thinking about it. In this unit you will name the organs that carry air into your body, see how the diaphragm makes breathing happen, learn habits that keep your lungs healthy, recognise common lung diseases, and know what to do when someone cannot breathe.

12

Human Reproductive System

Your body is growing and changing, and that is something to understand, not to fear. In this unit you will learn what the reproductive system does, name its main parts on a diagram, understand the changes of puberty, keep your body clean, make safe choices, and learn the facts about HIV so that you can protect yourself and respect others.

13

Energy Management

Energy cooks your food, lights your home and moves every moto on the road. In this unit you will name the forms of energy, see how energy changes from one form to another, explore Rwanda's energy sources, sort them into renewable and non-renewable, and learn smart ways to save electricity, use it safely and cook with less wood and smoke.

14

Magnetism

Magnets can pull without touching and push without pushing. In this unit you will learn what magnets are and which materials they attract, how their poles behave, how to see a magnetic field, how to make your own temporary magnet, and how magnets help us every day, from a compass to a fridge door.
