Where It Is Taught
Integrated Science runs through Junior School (Grade 7 to 9). A learner gets the tutor for their own band, and the record follows them up.
EVELYN NJERI
Evelyn Njeri for Grade 7 to 9. Each one teaches only their band's strands, by voice or text, at any hour.
WORKED ON THE BOARD
Every explanation is written out on an interactive board as it is spoken: the sum, the diagram, the Kiswahili sentence. Read it back, copy it into your notes, ask for it another way.
THE SEVEN CORE COMPETENCIES
Progress recorded on the four-point scale CBE uses — Exceeding, Meeting, Approaching, Below Expectation — learning area by learning area, visible to the parent and the teacher.
PRACTICALS IN 3D
Science practicals on a 3D bench with real apparatus, marked on the server from what the learner actually does, repeatable until the method is theirs.
For Schools And Homeschools
A teacher sets assignments and sees who has done them; a parent sees every session and the competency record. A school connects a whole class; a homeschooling family connects one learner and, if they want one, a registered CBE teacher.
Questions
Which grades is Integrated Science covered for?
Junior School (Grade 7 to 9). The tutors are Evelyn Njeri (Grade 7-9).
Where do the answers come from?
From the KICD curriculum designs, the schemes of work and the files you upload, and nothing else. Every Mwalimu is grounded in the strands and sub-strands of their learning area and band; they do not invent facts or pull from the open internet. Your syllabus and your files are the only truth they teach from.
Is it CBC or CBE?
The same curriculum. Kenya renamed Competency Based Curriculum to Competency Based Education; the learning areas, strands and the KPSEA and KJSEA assessments are unchanged. CognitaSTEM uses the current name.
Is this free?
A free account gives you the tutors with a daily allowance, the KPSEA Practice Buddy, the 3D labs and the parent dashboard. Premium adds unlimited tutor time; the pricing page has the current price in Kenyan shillings.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Everything runs in the browser on an ordinary smartphone over mobile data, including the 3D labs.
