2020 REVISED CURRICULUM AND ASSESSMENT PLANS PHYSICAL Sciences GRADE 12 Implementation: June 2020

Presentation Outline 1. Purpose 2. Amendments to the Content Overview for the Phase; 3. Amendments to the Annual Teaching Plan; 4. Amendments School Based Assessment (SBA) 5. Conclusion

1. Purpose • To mediate the amendments of the trimmed and re-organised 2020 Annual Teaching Plan including School Based Assessment for Physical Sciences Gr 12 for implementation in June 2020 as stipulated in Circular S 2 of 2020. • To ensure that meaningful teaching proceeds during the remaining teaching time as per the revised school calendar. • To assist teachers with guided pacing and sequencing of curriculum content and assessment.

1. Purpose (continued) • To enable teachers to cover the essential core content /skills in each grade within the available time. • To assist teachers with planning for the different forms of assessment. • To ensure learners are adequately prepared for the subsequent year/s in terms of content, skills, knowledge, attitudes and values

2. Amendments to the Content Overview for the Phase

Summary: Amendments to the Content Overview for the Phase Knowledge Area MECHANICS WAVES, SOUND AND LIGHT Grade 10 No amendments Grade 11 No amendments Removed: Geometrical Optics: Grade 12 No amendments Refraction, Snell’s law, critical angles & total internal reflection 2 D & 3 D Wave fronts Diffraction ELECTRICITY Removed: Magnetism AND MAGNETISM Electromagnetism: Removed all calculations No amendments

Summary: Amendments to the Content Overview for the Phase Knowledge Area Grade 10 Removed: Particles MATTER AND substances are MATERIALS made of CHEMICAL CHANGE CHEMICAL SYSTEMS Grade 11 Ideal gases and thermal properties: Retained: Kinetic molecular theory & Boyle’s law Grade 12 No amendments Removed: Reactions in aqueous solution No amendments Removed: Hydrosphere No amendments Removed: Exploiting the lithosphere

3. Amendments to the Annual Teaching Plan

Summary: Reorganisation of content topics • Term 2: The time allocated to ‘Work, energy and power’ was reduced from 10 hours (CAPS) to 8 hours. • Term 2: The time allocated to ‘The Doppler effect’ was reduced from 6 hours (CAPS) to 4 hours. • Term 3: ‘Electrochemical reactions’ and ‘Fertilisers’ were moved to Term 4.

Summary: Content/Topics Amended Content Term Amendment 2 Time reduced from 10 hrs to 8 hrs Doppler effect 2 Time reduced from 6 hrs to 4 hrs Electrochemical reactions 3 Moved to Term 4 Fertilisers 3 Moved to Term 4 Work, energy and power

4. Amendments School Based Assessment (SBA)

Summary: Revised Programme of Assessment Term Task SBA Weighting 1 Experiment 35% Control Test 30% (was 10% and June exam was 20%) Trial Examination 35% 3

Summary: Examination Structure • The trial and final examinations will each consist of two papers: Paper 1: physics Paper 2: Chemistry • The total of each paper will be 150 marks and the duration will be 3 hours each. • There are no changes to weightings of topics in final papers. • Changes to the weighting of topics in trial papers:

Summary: Revision Trial Examination Structure Paper 1 Knowledge Area Weighting Marks Mechanics 48, 7% 73 (was 63) Waves, Sound & Light 11, 3% 17 (same) Electricity & Magnetism 40% 60 (was 55) 0 0 (was 15) Matter & material TOTAL 150

Summary: Revision Trial Examination Structure Paper 2 Knowledge Area Weighting Marks Matter & Material 40% 60 (was 48) Chemical Change 60% 90 (was 84) Chemical Systems 0 0 (was 18) TOTAL 150

4. Conclusion

Conclusion • The ATP does not cater for te discussion and corrections of the March test and the Trial examination. • Time allocated per topic is a guideline – teaching might be shorter/longer depending on the situation in each school. • Time allocated should be enough to complete the revised ATP. • Learners should be encouraged to do revision outside the normal school hours.
