Integrated Science
Curriculum Aims
The Science curriculum provides science-related learning experiences that develop students’ interest in science and lay a foundation for their studies of various science curricula at the senior secondary level. It also focuses on the development of scientific literacy for living in and contributing towards a scientific and technological world.
The broad aims of the Science (S1-3) curriculum are to enable students to:
- develop curiosity and interest in science;
- acquire fundamental scientific knowledge and skills, and appreciate the relationship between science and other disciplines;
- develop the ability to make scientific investigations and solve problems;
- use the language of science to communicate science-related ideas;
- develop a basic understanding of the nature of science;
- develop the ability to integrate and apply scientific knowledge and skills with other related disciplines;
- recognise the social, ethical, economic, environmental and technological implications of science, and develop the attitude of responsible citizenship and commitment to promote personal and community health;
- be prepared for further studies in STEM-related disciplines; and
- become lifelong learners in science for personal development.
Curriculum Emphases
- Students learn with an investigative approach. Teachers guide and encourage our students through daily life examples and investigative experiments in order to build their interests in Science and Technology.
- This subject also focuses on training practical skills. Students are assigned to do almost all of the experiments.
