PRIMARY SCIENCE CURRICULUM
Topic: Diversity Students should appreciate that there is a great variety of living and non-living things in the world. The study of the diversity in the world will also allow students to appreciate the importance and necessity of maintaining it. Man seeks to organize this great variety of living things to better understand the world in which he lives. There are common threads that connect all living things and unifying factors in the diversity of non-living things that help him to classify them. In this theme, we study the diversity of living and non-living things as well as materials.
Topic: About Cycles
There are repeated patterns of change in nature. Examples of these cycles are the life cycles of living things and the water cycle. Understanding these cycles helps Man to predict events and processes and to appreciate the Earth as a self-sustaining system. In this theme, we learn about the Cycles in plants and animals as well as matter and water. Topic: About Systems A system is a whole consisting of parts that work together to perform a function. There are systems in nature as well as man-made systems. Examples of systems in nature are the digestive and respiratory systems. Examples of man-made systems are electrical systems. Understanding these systems allows Man to understand how they operate and how parts influence and interact with one another to perform a function. In this theme, we learn about the plant, human, cell and electrical systems.
Topic: About Energy
Students should appreciate that energy affects both living and non-living things. It makes changes and movement possible in everyday life. There are many forms of energy and one form can be converted to another. Man uses energy in many ways, for many different purposes. Man is not the only animal that uses energy; all living things obtain energy and use it to carry out life processes. Understanding this theme will allow students to appreciate the importance and uses of energy and the need to conserve it. In this theme, we learn about various energy forms, uses and conversion Topic: About Interactions Understanding the interactions between and within systems helps Man to better understand the environment and his role in it. Interactions occur within an organism, between organisms as well as between organisms and the environment. There are also interactions between forces and objects. The interaction of Man with his environment drives the development of Science and Technology. At the same time, Science and Technology influences the way Man interacts with his environment. By understanding the interactions between Man and his environment, students can better appreciate the consequences of their actions and be responsible for their actions. In this theme, we learn about the interaction of forces and interactions in the environment.

Lower Secondary Science Express/Normal Level
THEME: Science & Technology Students should appreciate that science is the study of our natural world through systematic observation, experimentation, and analysis. Scientists seek to formulate principles, laws and theories that help to explain and increase our understanding of natural phenomena we observe in the world. Through science, we also learn how to use things to make our lives more comfortable and solve problems to improve our surroundings.
Key inquiry questions in Science & Technology include: Why did this event, phenomenon or problem happen?
What conclusions can I make based on my observations and evidence collected?
Science & Technology (Science processes & applications) Scientific inquiry
Science and technology in Society
THEME: Measurement Students should recognize the need for Man to quantify his interactions with the environment. Man makes estimations and also accurate measurements of quantities not just when he is engaged in scientific inquiry but also in everyday activities. The study of measurement would enable Man to plan the use of resources efficiently. In this theme, we examine how different instruments are used to measure different quantities accurately. Direct measurements of Quantities include length, mass, volume and time and calculated quantities include density, speed and rate.
Key inquiry questions in Measurement include: Why is it important to have clearly defined quantities and units?
How does the system you want to study determine the way you take measurements?
Making Measurements Use of measuring instruments
Physical quantities & units
THEME: Diversity Students should appreciate that there is a great variety of living and non-living things in the world and the importance for Man to understand and maintain the connections with living things and his environment. Man seeks to organize this great variety through common threads and unifying factors to better understand the world in which he lives. The study of living and non-living things in terms of properties and changes is greatly facilitated by putting them into groups.
Key inquiry questions in Diversity include: How does the diversity of living and non-living things in the world contribute to our lives?
How do we classify things in our world?
Diversity of matter Classification of matter
Elements, compounds & mixtures
Solutions & Suspensions
THEME: Models and Systems Students should appreciate that models are simplified representations of phenomena. These models are constructed to facilitate understanding of the phenomena. There are three types of models in the learning of science, namely, physical, conceptual and mathematical. Examples of models examined in this theme are the atomic model and particulate model of matter. Students should recognize that a system is a whole consisting of parts that work together to perform a function. There are systems in nature as well as man-made systems. Parts of a system influence one another. Two or more systems can interact with one another to perform a function.
Key inquiry questions in Models and Systems include: How do we know that the models used are good representations of the real system?
How do parts of a system or different systems interact together to perform a function?
Models of cells & matter Plant & human systems Cells- structure, function & organization Transport in living things Particulate model of matter Digestion in animals Simple concepts of atoms & molecules Sexual reproduction in human beings
THEME: Energy Students should appreciate that energy is necessary for all living and non-living systems. Energy makes changes and movement possible in our daily lives. Living things obtain energy and use it to carry out life processes. There are many forms of energy and one form can be converted to another. It is our responsibility to show care and concern for living things and the environment as we use energy in its different forms every day. In this theme, we examine different forms of energy such as kinetic and potential energy, light and electricity, and the processes of photosynthesis and respiration in plants.
Key inquiry questions in Energy include: How can we harness energy to improve our quality of life?
Why must energy be conserved?
Energy (Energy forms & uses): Energy forms & conversion
Light
Electricity
Photosynthesis & respiration
THEME: INTERACTIONS Students should appreciate that there are interactions between the living world and the environment at various levels: interactions which occur within an organism; between organisms; and between organisms and the environment. There are also interactions between forces and objects, and energy and matter. In this theme, we examine the interaction of forces and energy between and within living and non-living systems as well as with the environment. Examples of these interactions include transmission of heat, chemical changes, and energy flow through a food chain in an ecosystem.
Key inquiry questions in Interactions include:
How does knowledge of interactions between and within systems help Man better understand his environment?
What are the interactions between physical phenomena and life processes?
Interactions of forces & energy
Concept of force & pressure
Moment of a force
Work
Effects of heat
Transmission of heat
Chemical changes
Simple concepts of populations,
community and ecosystem
Energy transfer process in the ecosystem
Nutrient cycles in the ecosystems
