Welcome to the Science Department!

Guided by our vision of Connected Learning Through Science, we believe students learn best when they actively inquire, investigate and discover. Through meaningful hands-on experiences in and beyond the classroom, students deepen their understanding of scientific concepts, make connections to everyday life and develop a sense of care for the environment and community. Through Inquiry and Discovery Through Science, we nurture curious minds, caring hearts and capable hands as students grow into confident learners and responsible stewards of the environment around them.

Student Outcomes

Curious Minds: Students take the initiative to ask questions, investigate and discover through scientific inquiry.

Caring Hearts: Students appreciate the environment and act responsibly towards the world around them.

Capable Hands: Students apply scientific knowledge and process skills confidently through hands-on learning and problem-solving.

Connected Learners: Students make meaningful connections between Science, everyday life and the world around them.

Inquiry and Discovery Through Science Signature Learning Experiences

Across the year, students experience Science through inquiry, discovery and authentic learning opportunities in and beyond the classroom. These experiences help students make meaningful connections between classroom learning, everyday life and the world around them. ** **Garden Bingo: Plants Around Us

(in collaboration with the English Department) Primary 3 students participated in a cross-curricular learning experience through Garden Bingo, where Science and English came together in an authentic outdoor setting. As students explored the school garden, they observed and identified plants while sharpening their observation skills and expanding their vocabulary. This meaningful collaboration allowed students to connect scientific observations with language learning as they learnt to notice, describe and appreciate the diversity of plant life and the unusual plants around them. The experience nurtured curiosity, close observation and a deeper appreciation of nature.

Life Cycle of Animals and Food Sustainability

As part of their study of living things, Primary 3 students explored the life cycles of animals through hands-on learning experiences focused on mealworms and food sustainability. Students observed changes in the mealworms over time and learnt about the different stages of the life cycle. Through guided inquiry and discussion, they also discovered how living things can play a role in sustainable food systems and reducing food waste. This learning experience encouraged students to think about how Science connects with environmental responsibility and sustainable living.

Adaptations Workshop at the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum

Primary 6 students participated in an enriching Adaptations Workshop at the museum, where they deepened their understanding of how plants and animals are adapted to survive in different environments. Through close observation of specimens and interactive learning experiences, students explored the relationship between structure, function and survival. The workshop provided authentic opportunities for students to apply concepts learnt in class and appreciate Singapore’s biodiversity and natural heritage. The experience strengthened students’ scientific inquiry skills while fostering a greater appreciation for the natural world.

Environmental Sustainability Week

Environmental Sustainability Week provides students with meaningful opportunities to explore environmental issues and understand how individual actions can contribute to a more sustainable future. Through hands-on experiences, exhibits and classroom-based activities, students investigated sustainability concepts and learnt how Science can help address real-world environmental challenges. These experiences encouraged students to make meaningful connections between Science, sustainability and everyday choices.

Enrichment & Talent Development E2K Science

Our E2K Science programme provides opportunities for students to extend their learning through higher-order thinking and inquiry-based experiences. Students engage in rich discussions, open-ended investigations and problem-solving tasks that encourage them to think critically, reason scientifically and communicate their ideas clearly. Through E2K Science, students deepen conceptual understanding while developing confidence and independence as learners. Science Olympiad Students with a strong passion for Science are given opportunities to participate in the Science Olympiad, where they apply their scientific knowledge and thinking skills through challenging questions and investigations. Through preparation and participation, students deepen their conceptual understanding, strengthen analytical thinking and develop confidence in applying scientific concepts in unfamiliar contexts. The experience also encourages perseverance, curiosity and a positive attitude towards tackling complex scientific problems.
