Ukukhathazeka okuningi abantu abadala abanakho ngokubhala amakhodi namarobhothi bakufunda kwenye indawo phakathi kwamabanga aphansi nawaphezulu. Buza ikilasi likaGrade 2 ukuthi ubani ofuna ukwakha irobhothi, zonke izandla ziyaphakama.

Ukusebenza nezikole zamabanga aphansi yisisombululo esishibhe kunazo zonke ezitholakalayo. Ingane echithe uGrade 4 yakha imishini ayilokothi ibe nomqondo wokuthi lokhu akusikho okwayo, ngoba ngesikhathi kuvela umuntu osho kanjalo, isivele inobufakazi obuphikisayo.

Ukuthi isifundo samarobhothi samabanga aphansi siyini ngempela

Umshini owawusesikrinini ngalolo suku kwakuyi-merry-go-round: isakhiwo okumele sakhiwe ngendlela efanele, i-motor okumele iqhutshwe, nomphumela ozungeza kahle noma ongazungezi nhlobo.

Leyo phrojekthi eyodwa ngokuthula iqukethe ingxenye enkulu yekharikhulamu yesayensi nobuchwepheshe kuGrade 4 kuya ku-6 — izakhiwo nokuzinza, amagiya nokuzungeza, ukudluliswa kwamandla, ukulandelanisa nembangela nomphumela.
