What to Expect from CAPS Grade 9 Natural Sciences

Grade 9 Natural Sciences completes the Senior Phase and provides the scientific foundation for FET specialisation in Physical Sciences and Life Sciences. EdSoft's adaptive module ensures every learner arrives at Grade 10 with the conceptual grounding that FET science demands.

Life and Living

Grade 9 life science completes the human biology strand — exploring the nervous system, endocrine system, and immune system. Genetics is introduced: learners explore heredity, DNA at an introductory level, and the mechanisms of inheritance. Evolution through natural selection is studied as the unifying theory of life science.

Matter and Materials

Grade 9 chemistry develops understanding of chemical reactions — writing and balancing chemical equations, exploring reaction types, and investigating rates of reaction. Electrochemistry is introduced through electrolysis.

Energy and Change

Grade 9 physics introduces Newton's Laws of Motion — learners develop understanding of force, mass, acceleration, and the relationships between them. Momentum is explored, and learners solve quantitative problems involving Newton's Laws.

Earth and Beyond

Grade 9 earth science completes the earth and space strand with a study of the universe — stellar evolution, the life cycle of stars, galaxies, and cosmological models of the origin and development of the universe.
