Environmental Activities Grade Three has been comprehensively written to meet the requirements of the new competency-based curriculum. The content is guided strictly by the specific learning outcomes and suggested learning experiences. The inquiry-based approach, which emphasises on “how we come to know” rather than “what we know” has been used throughout the development of the content. This learner’s book has used a variety of learning activities including project assignments, discussions, homework, parental involvement, experiments, field studies, observations and use of resource persons. All these learning activities are meant to put the learner to task in order to discover the knowledge on their own and apply what they have learnt in solving various problems around them. To evaluate the learner’s understanding and mastery of the content, a comprehensive assessment exercises has been provided at the end of every sub-strand. These assessment exercises are meant to assist in assessing learner’s progress in the course of learning.
