Grade 7 Aims & Objective 2008
AIMS: To Devlop and enhance the spatial concepts of students through Map work pratice.
EXPLANATION: Studens will be introduced the skills for interpretings maps and plans, and consequently can use a map and related equipments to locate place in real world.
OBJECTIVE:
1.
 Student Knows what re maps and plans and the different between them.
2.
 Students acqure the following skills in order to use maps and plan in more efficient ways:
 -  Using map cales and converting from one form to another.
 -  Using proper format to tell directions.
 -  Using grid system to locate a place.
 -  Using longitudes and latitudes to find different place on a world map.
 -  Using suitable land marks to design sketch maps.
OUTCOMES:
1.
  -  Students can develop a concrete spatial concept.
 -  Students have the ability to read map for any purpose.
 -  Students can use suitable formats to tell those information related to locating places.
 -  Arouse students interest in exploring the neighboring area of their school and homes.
ASSESSMENT:
   To facilitate and to check students’ learning, the following methods will be undertaken:
1.
  - Common exercises
  The same set of worksheet will be distributed to all students for each topic, marks will be given and accounting for 6 CA marks. Marks will be carried into the final score
2.
  - Note-book Checking and classroom Performance

3
 Student learn to use concept maps to revise.
4
 students consolidate their skill in map reading and interpretation.
ASSESSMENT:
   To facilitate and to check students’ learning, the following methods will be undertaken:

Grade 9 Aims & Objective 2008 - 2009
Teachers: CCY, WMC and JC
AIMS: To facilitate students′ appreciation of the need to conserve resources.
EXPLANATION: To assist students in knowing how themselves and society as a whole is responsible for the consumption of resources; that these resources are limited and their exploitation induces specific impacts to the environment.
OBJECTIVE:
1.
 Our resources are important to us.
   ⇒ focus on ‘power resources’.
2.
 Our socitey is responsible for the impacts to our environment.
 ⇒ Acknowledgement that the use of resources has effects on our ‘air and ocean’
 ⇒ Learning that our way of living affects the amount of resources we use.
3.
 We have to conserve our resources
 ⇒ How do we limit usage of resources; what alternatives are there?
4.
 We are part of our environment
 ⇒ How do we interact within a ‘tropical rainforest systems ’
ASSESSMENT:
   To facilitate and to check students’ learning progress, 20% of the grade will be subject to in a form of coninuous assessment. It is proposed that the following methods are to be employes:
1.
  - Common exercises
  2 common exercises and weight at 5% (3% + 2%) in each term to enchance students’ understanding over the topics that they have learnt.
2.
  - Form Test
 

One form test will be held in each term and will weight at 10% and 5% respectively.

3.
  - Project Work
  Group work for each term; students need to write a proposal about how are they going to conduct a survey about the air quality in causeway Bay in first term. Then they need to complete the project and submit it in the second term. The weighting of the proposal and final project is 3% and 8% respectively.
4.
  - Map Reading Exercise
 

Weight at 1% each and 2 map reading exercises in each term will be given to students to consolidate their map reading skills.
