Learners are introduced to scientific methods of discovery through captivating experiments in chemistry<\/p>\n<p>and physical science to collect and interpret data. The science experiments are designed to spark curiosity and foster understanding of the natural world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen it comes to arts, learners love colours, as it brightens up our lives and gives meaning to our space. Learners are introduced to science modules. Learners experiment with colour mixing, print making, shading and drawing. They also engage in confidence-building with peers,\u201d he said. Mulundileni added that the project has been in the pipeline for six months, and they are grateful for Debmarine\u2019s support.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
