Just as without knowing the alphabet it is impossible to know the language, so, without fully understanding the words used to describe the subject of Science, we cannot expect the learner to master the subject.
During the process of learning it is important to emphasise an understanding of the concepts of words. Words like “house”, “apple” are understood by the student. There is no need to memorise them. However, for words like “electricity”, “opaque”, “ characteristics”, the same clarity in understanding may not exist. This Science Dictionary helps to provide that clarity. It forms part of the resources needed by teachers, parents and students to put the child on the ladder of competence.
We believe every student has the potential to master a subject and to be good in all subjects, not in just one or two. Our Science Dictionary aims to build a strong foundation of the subject for the learner.
It is the duty of teachers and parents to provide the environment, tools and guidance that enables children to reach their full potential.
If you wish for the child to become an independent learner and excel in Science, then this book belongs in your special tool-kit.
