Science education revolves around three strands: Science as a Human Endeavour, Science Inquiry Skills, and Science Understanding. These strands form a framework that engages students with science in meaningful ways, fostering a deeper understanding of concepts, practices, and their impact on the world.
This strand encourages students to see that scientific models evolve as they are reviewed and refined. It also stresses the ethical aspects of scientific progress, showing how science affects lives and careers, emphasizing responsible innovation.
Science Inquiry Skills teach students to ask questions and form testable hypotheses. Through investigations, lab sessions, and interactive tools like Education Perfect and Gizmo, students develop critical thinking and practical skills.
Covering Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Earth and Space Sciences, this strand provides a solid foundation in key topics. Independent study and structured lessons encourage a deeper exploration of scientific concepts.
