SCIENCE Overview
Our goal is to provide scientific literacy to students, emphasizing on scientific
enquiry, which is appropriate to their grade level. The outcome is based on
Cambridge Primary Science Frame work.
From an early age, we interact with our environment, asking questions and
seeking answers. This question-and-answer process lies at the heart of
knowing and doing science. It engages our learners at many levels, linking
practical experience with scientific ideas; therefore the children are immersed
in hands on experience. It is a way of knowing and thinking about parts of
the world in which we live. The program capitalizes on the innate curiosity of
young minds
Our aim is to teach Science by:
- Developing knowledge and understanding of important scientific ideas,
processes and skills and relate these to everyday experiences
- Using scientific ideas and models to explain phenomena and events
- Carry out scientific enquiry by:
* collecting evidence or testing ideas
* planning investigative work
* obtaining and presenting evidence
* drawing conclusions and begin to use scientific knowledge to suggest
explanations
* make generalizations/arguments
* evaluating their work
* developing critical thinking and ideas
