Queenex Science and Technology for Grade 5 is based on the Competency-Based Curriculum and is rich in activities that seek to make the learner a more creative, imaginative, and problem-solving individual. Ample opportunities for hands-on experience are provided through activities and exercises. The Learner's Book has colourful illustrations, exercises, and activities aimed at producing a thinker and a problem solver in line with the vision of the curriculum.

This guide is expected to help the teacher to come up with effective techniques and approaches to benefit all learners. The teacher should use the guide alongside the curriculum design while preparing schemes of work and lesson plans.
