FOREWORD

© 2 0 1 3 D T T a b a n e

MyKEducation™ S.T.E.M. Club is the culmination and combined efforts over a period of 4 years to design a program that would complement the schools' curriculum in a fun way of active participation and interactive learning of Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths. The program aims to seek, to smoothen and close the gap between primary and secondary curriculum so that there is a seamless transition from the former to the latter. It seeks to help the learners realise one of the aims of the national curriculum statements which is to improve the quality of all citizens and in the process free the potential of all the learners that will go through the program. Learners will be able to develop problem solving skills by going through the practical task which they will unravel from the simplest to the complex tasks. Learners will be in a position to relate their curriculum to the real outside world. This is in no way a replacement of the school’s curriculum but an add-on initiative to beef up the national curriculum statements. BY N.D.V. LETSHWITI (Education Industry, Subject Advisor)

Opening Illustration and motivation:

© 2 0 1 3 D T T a b a n e

My daughter had only just turned 4yrs old when I asked and challenged her to assemble this little car and we both called it a 'space buggy' (inspired by mars rovers). She was very hands-on that I only cut and bent the frame and left her to do the rest, which was to assemble the less risky parts. Although she is raised up as a little lady playing with dolls I do make sure I also expose her to fun science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) related tasks like games and practical tasks such as the one above. She continues to be my motivation to implement MyKEducation™ STEM Club in South Africa as she is living proof that we can start our children at a younger age. I understand that currently we can only focus on Grade 4 + in primary and secondary schools, and I hope that one day we can design a program for younger children from Grade R – 3. Last but not least, still thinking of motivation, the weekend I prepared to fly to South Africa to run our first 3months pilot project at Bethanie Primary School, she wrote me a special fare-well card above that reads (or meant to read): 'To daddy I hope you have a great time From Lily'

Career highlight and Industry insight:

© 2 0 1 3 D T

Katlego P Motswe is one of many young South African managers at one of the country's successful platinum mining corporations operating in North West province. He manages day to day operations at the mine and is also responsible for a team of colleagues. This is obviously a huge responsibility and leadership skills are a vital ingredient for his job title.

T a b a n e

Katlego believes that it is important to introduce science, technology, engineering and maths at primary level. 'The earlier the better, but simple stuff to understand', said Katlego. His advice to secondary school students is that they should follow the right career for the current economic environment to be able to find jobs when they complete their studies. Asked on the importance of STEM skills in the mining industry, he says; 'Very important' and continued; 'Technology improves the current working environment to make it less physical and safer for the health and safety of employees. He concludes this career insight interview by highlighting that “Science, Engineering and Maths are also used on daily operation of all mining operations”.

Health & Safety (H&S) and Good Housekeeping

Good housekeeping can reduce some workplace hazards and help get the job done safely and properly.

Poor housekeeping can result in many injuries and at the worst case senario, cause death. Dangers of poor housekeeping: © 2 0 1 3 D T T a b a n e

• • • • •

Cutting, puncturing or tearing of the skin or other parts of the body Hitting against poorly stacked tools or material Being hit by falling objects Tripping over any objects like tools on the floor Slipping on wet or dirty floors or any workshop surface

If implemented correctly, good workplace housekeeping should be an ongoing operation and can yield the following results: • • • • •

effective use of space improved morale/behaviour better control of tools and project material reduced spillages, tripping or slipping accidents increased sense of responsibility towards colleagues & equipment

Planning a good workshop housekeeping Cleaning must be done during project work and not just at the end of the session. Integrating housekeeping into project tasks can ensure that housekeeping is enjoyed as part of the task. Joint team responsibilities for students to repeat at the start of every session: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Clean after ourselves during the session Clean up at the end of every session Throw away all waste Remove any unused tool Inspect our workshop at all times

Introduction to chess rules and playing an opponent 1. Chess is a game played between two opponents on opposite sides of a board containing 64 squares of alternating colours. Each player has 16 pieces: 1 king, 1 queen, 2 rooks, 2 bishops, 2 knights, and 8 pawns. The goal of the game is to checkmate the other king. Checkmate happens when the king is in a position to be captured (in check) and cannot escape from capture.

© 2 0 1 3 D T T a b a n e

How the Pieces Move: 2. Each of the 6 different kinds of pieces moves differently. Pieces cannot move through other pieces (although the knight can jump over other pieces), and can never move onto a square with one of their own pieces. However, they can be moved to take the place of an opponent's piece which is then captured. Pieces are generally moved into positions where they can capture other pieces (by landing on their square and then replacing them), defend their own pieces in case of capture, or control important squares in the game.

NB Please refer to Annexure 6 to identify the pieces named below • The King The king is the most important piece, but is also one of the weakest. The king can only move one square in any direction - up, down, to the sides, and diagonally. The king may never move himself into check (where he could be captured). • The Queen The queen is the most powerful piece. She can move in any one straight direction - forward, backward, sideways, or diagonally - as far as possible as long as she does not move through any of her own pieces. And, like with all pieces, if the queen captures an opponent's piece her move is over. • The Rook/Castle The rook may move as far as it wants, but only forward, backward, and to the sides. The rooks are particularly powerful pieces when they are protecting each other and working together!

www.mykeducation.net

©2013-08-04 12


MyKEducation™ Fun Involved Effective

• The Bishop The bishop may move as far as it wants, but only diagonally. Each bishop starts on one colour (light or dark) and must always stay on that color. Bishops work well together because they cover up each other’s weaknesses. • The Knight Knights move in a very different way from the other pieces – going two squares in one direction, and then one more move at a 90 degree angle, just like the shape of an “L”. Knights are also the only pieces that can move over other pieces. • The Pawn Pawns are unusual because they move and capture in different ways: they move forward, but capture diagonally. Pawns can only move forward one square at a time, except for their very first move where they can move forward two squares. Pawns can only capture one square diagonally in front of them. They can never move or capture backwards. If there is another piece directly in front of a pawn he cannot move past or capture that piece.

© 2 0 1 3 D T

Pawns have another special ability and that is that if a pawn reaches the other side of the board it can become any other chess piece (called promotion). A pawn may be promoted to any piece. [NOTE: A common misconception is that pawns may only be exchanged for a piece that has been captured. That is NOT true.] A pawn is usually promoted to a queen. Only pawns may be promoted.

T a b a n e

◦ En Passant The last rule about pawns is called “en passant,” which is French for “in passing”. If a pawn moves out two squares on its first move, and by doing so lands to the side of an opponent’s pawn (effectively jumping past the other pawn’s ability to capture it), that other pawn has the option of capturing the first pawn as it passes by. This special move must be done immediately after the first pawn has moved past, otherwise the option to capture it is no longer available. Click through the example below to better understand this odd, but important rule.

3. Candidates should be able to play an opponent and be able to understand the above rules and apply them during a game 8
