 Preface
This book, Sangam’s Science and Technology for Today and Tomorrow, Book 6, a
part of the series of Sangam “Science for Today and Tomorrow”, has especially been
designed and prepared to meet the needs of the school children studying in Grade
Six. It is based on the syllabus of Science and Technology prescribed by CDC, Nepal.
No doubt, the concepts have been presented in conformity with the latest methods of
teaching science. Lessons are well-sequenced and activity-based with an emphasis on
Science and Technology Literacy (STL). Learning outcomes listed at the beginning of
the lesson enable the learners to judge the scope of each lesson. Each lesson contains
suitable illustrations with a considerable number of diagrams that enable students
to grasp the concepts easily. Simple experiments are given with examples related to
students’ daily experiences. Definitions, laws and important facts have been coloured
to highlight them. Lessons have been summarized through the concept maps that
help in quick review of concepts. Introduction of concept maps helps students to
revise the whole unit in a logical way. Diverse exercises have been given to provoke
different cognitive levels. Project given in each lesson helps students to apply their
skills to research and to develop their ability in teamwork. Questions under “Think
and answer” provide the advanced concepts related to the topic to widen the horizon
of knowledge. The new words given in each unit define the scientific jargons of each
lesson and help to increase the vocabulary of science.
Thanks are due to Sangam Books Publication Pvt. Ltd. for bringing out this book in an
attractive layout. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Mr. Kumar Bahadur Rai
for his contribution to making the series flawless. Valuable suggestions given by the
science teachers, teacher-trainers and the concerned individuals are highly appreciated
and I assure that the suggestions would be incorporated in the forthcoming edition.
I also wish to take this opportunity to thank all those who provided me with valuable
support and advice.
I always appreciate the valuable suggestions and comments from the teachers, the
students and the readers of this book for further improvement. The author of this
series could be reached at sangambp@ntc.net.np.
