Dear Physical Science Educator, Advisor & Student

RE: ASTRON ENERGY MASTERCLASSES FOR GRADE 12 PHYSICAL SCIENCE and

WCED MASTERCLASSES FOR GRADE 11.

The Cape Town Science Centre invites you to the Astron Energy & WCED Masterclasses.
We recognise the challenges learners are facing that affect their performance and we wish
to continue with our Masterclasses. These classes have proven to show positive
results on underperforming learners and enhance topic mastery for the top
achievers.

The Astron Energy Masterclasses helps to prepare learners for their forthcoming exams
by enhancing their core content knowledge, developing essential skills, and providing
strategies for tackling complex exam problems.

The Astron Energy & WCED Masterclasses cover the entire syllabus for Grade 12
only selected subjects for Grade 11. Both will follow the ATP (Annual Teaching
Plan)

Each session includes in-depth summary revision of theory, practice problems, and step-
by-step revision of previous exam questions. This is an opportunity you don’t want to miss!

Overview of Astron Energy Masterclasses for Grade 12s:

• Masterclasses are virtual and held over Microsoft Teams (the link to the
session will be sent out to registered participants)
• The live virtual Masterclasses will take place on Saturday mornings (see table
below for schedule of topics, times, and dates)
• Each Masterclass will be 1 hour and 30 min and will focus on a single topic from
syllabus.
• Learners will be able to engage with presenters during the live virtual sessions
and ask questions.
• Each live lesson is paired with a complimentary electronic learner booklet,
which can be used during the live lessons. The booklet contains summary notes of
the lesson itself and will be sent out along with the session link to registered
participants.

Overview of the WCED Masterclasses for Grade 11s:

• Masterclasses are virtual and held over Microsoft Teams (the link to the
session will be sent out to registered participants)
 • The live virtual Masterclasses will take place on WEDNESDAY AFTERNOONS
(see table below for schedule of topics, times, and dates)
• Each Masterclass will be 1 hour and will focus on a single topic from the syllabus.
• Learners will be able to engage with presenters during the live virtual sessions
and ask questions.
• Each live lesson is paired with a complimentary electronic learner booklet,
which can be used during the live lessons. The booklet contains summary notes of
the lesson itself and will be sent out along with the session link to registered
participants.

REGISTRATION IS ESSENTIAL! Records of each Masterclass will ONLY be

accessible to schools and learners who have registered for these classes.

When learners register for the grade 11 or 12 masterclasses, they will IMMEDIATELY
receive an email which has a link to a PDF which contains ALL the links to the lessons.
If you have not received the link, we encourage you to check if you have filled in the correct
email!
