The Practical Books are designed to complement the Textbooks and enhance the knowledge gained from the Textbooks. Hands-on activities are used in the books to encourage students to explore scienti c concepts through experimentation. They develop process skills that students need in order to carry out scienti c inquiry. Selected experiments begin with real-life contexts so that students can develop an understanding of how the abstract scienti c concepts learnt are connected to real-life occurrences.

The skills developed in each activity are clearly outlined so that students are made aware of the process of scienti c inquiry that occurs in the activity. This leads to greater understanding of Science knowledge and promotes the spirit of inquiry in students. The activities encourage students to discover concepts on their own through experimentation. These activities have been carefully designed to help students think in a systematic and logical manner about the world around them. Discussion and Extension questions at the end of experiments cultivate skills such as formulating hypotheses, posing questions, making inferences and predictions.
