Chemistry in Action - V4

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.

Collaborate with us

Help us ensure that every student has access to the best quality education to enable them to make informed career choices. Let’s work together to produce more Science professionals from the African continent and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals intended to transform our world for the future!

COMBINED EFFORT

In the pursuit of our common goal, being the improvement of STEM education in South Africa, we would like to explore ways in which we can possibly partner with your organisation. It should be noted that the programs will run through the NGO arm of the V4 Group, ensuring the provision of Section 18A certificates to participating companies.

Helping each learner experience the wonders of Chemistry for themselves!

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.
