Chemistry in Action – V4 (CiA) is an NPC focussed on inspiring and igniting learner passion for science and science-related subjects in schools across Africa.
We have developed a curriculum aligned chemical experiment that Grades 8 and 9 learners can perform themselves for the purpose of creating curiosity and interest in science.
Grades 8 and 9 can conduct their own chemistry experiments and thereby improve their knowledge and interest in chemistry.
The toolkit contributes to eliminating the disadvantage of lack of laboratories in most South African schools.
By virtue of its design and instruction also eliminates any skill or experience shortcomings on the part of anyone supervising or teaching the class.
Can be produced in multiple languages, thereby supporting government initiatives to have pupils taught in their mother tongue.
