Grade 7 Natural Sciences
CAPS topics, what the exam tests, and free practice tests
Natural Sciences follows four strands in CAPS: Life and Living, Matter and Materials, Energy and Change, and Planet Earth and Beyond. In Grades 4 to 6 it is taught together with Technology; in Grade 7 it stands alone. In Grade 7 the work splits into two parts: Life and living (Paper 1 work) and Matter, energy and the universe (Paper 2 work).
