The science curriculum seeks to nurture the student as an
inquirer. The starting point is that children are curious about
and want to explore the things around them. The science
curriculum leverages on and seeks to fuel this spirit of
curiosity. The end goal is students who enjoy science and
value science as an important tool in helping them explore
their natural and physical world.
The teacher is the leader of inquiry in the science classroom.
Teachers of science impart the excitement and value of
science to their students. They are facilitators and role
models of the inquiry process in the classrooms. The
teacher creates a learning environment that will encourage
and challenge students to develop their sense of inquiry.
Teaching and learning approaches centre around the
student as an inquirer.
