Marshall Cavendish Science: The Singapore Approach

In this technologically driven and globalised world, it is essential to develop the necessary skills in pupils so that they can become confident and
effective individuals in future.

The essence of the Singapore Science framework lies in the spirit of scientific inquiry. Through the inquiry process, pupils are able to build on or
acquire new knowledge of Science through the application of various skills and processes by relating Science to their everyday life, the society
and the environment.

The Singapore Primary Science curriculum framework aims to nurture pupils as inquirers who enjoy and value Science as an important tool in
helping them explore the world around them.

Contextualising knowledge
Relating and applying scientific knowledge in real-life
scenarios
The understanding of scientific knowledge takes place when the
knowledge is applied during hands-on learning experiences situated
in realistic contexts so that pupils can make connections with their
own lives and the environment in which they live.

Developing process skills

Building on pupils’ innate abilities and senses
Process skills are basic skills that pupils use to transform observation
into knowledge. Opportunities are presented for pupils to construct
their knowledge while developing essential process skills which are
useful for the pupil in the long term.

70
PRIMARY SCIENCE

Building a strong foundation

Learning science through spiral progression
As pupils progress from grade to grade, their foundation of
scientific knowledge is continuously reinforced. Concepts are
revisited during the learning process which helps to ensure that
pupils are not just constructing new knowledge but building on
knowledge previously acquired.

Facilitating inquiry
Creating inquiry-based lessons
Pupils learn Science better using scientific inquiry because they
gain the confidence in carrying out scientific investigations through
guided inquiry. Based on this, our instructional design maximises
pupils’ learning experience of Science as an inquiry. Teachers are
also equipped with materials that enhance their role as a facilitator
of scientific inquiry.
