QUESTION 1: [10 MARKS]
List and explain three (3) specific aims of Natural Science and Technology.
1. Understanding the natural world: One of the specific aims of natural science

principles that govern the physical and biological aspects of the universe. This
involves studying natural phenomena, conducting experiments, and developing
theories to explain and predict how the world works.
2. Improving technology and innovation: Another aim of natural science and
technology is to improve technology and innovation by developing new products,
processes, and solutions to address the challenges and opportunities presented
by the natural world. This includes advancing fields such as engineering, materials
science, and information technology to create new tools and technologies that
enhance people's lives.
3. Promoting sustainability and environmental conservation: Natural science and
technology also aim to promote sustainability and environmental conservation by
understanding the impact of human activities on the natural world and
developing strategies to mitigate negative effects. This involves studying
ecosystems, biodiversity, and climate change, as well as developing technologies
and practices that support responsible resource management and environmental
stewardship.

QUESTION 2: [30 MARKS]
2.1 Provide six (6) reasons why teachers should assess learners as a teacher. (6)
1. To monitor progress: Assessment helps teachers to monitor the progress of
their students and identify any areas where they may be struggling (Wiliam,
2011).
2. To provide feedback: Assessment allows teachers to provide feedback to their
students, helping them to understand their strengths and weaknesses and how
they can improve (Black & Wiliam, 1998).
3. To inform instruction: Assessment results can inform teachers about which
instructional strategies are effective and which need to be adjusted to better
meet students' needs (Brookhart, 2013).
4. To identify learning needs: Assessment can help teachers to identify students
who may need additional support or specialized instruction, allowing them to
intervene early and provide targeted help (Barr & Parrett, 2008).
