Modern Science and Technology

Primary and Middle School

A series of Science coursebooks

We are surrounded by technology and the products of science every day. The subject of Science plays an important role in developing the spirit of enquiry, creativity, objectivity and aesthetic sensibility. The books for primary school demand exploration and engagement with the processes of Science like observing, recording observations, whereas the books for middle school expect abstraction and quantitative reasoning to develop traits of innovation and problem solving. Due coverage has been given to hands-on learning approach through activities and experiments. A variety of objective and subjective questions based on Bloom’s Taxonomy complement the acquisition of concepts.
