How we conduct science lessons @ SAPS?
Inquiry-based Learning (IBL) - Science lessons are
designed following the 5E Instructional Model from
the Biological Sciences Curriculum Studies.
Our science teachers use the 5E Instructional Model
to plan and structure their inquiry-based science
lessons. The 5Es are Engage, Explore, Explain,
Evaluate and Extend.
This guides pupils to move from concrete
experiences, to the development of understanding
of concepts and the application of concepts.

- Not able to understand and analyse
data and experiment variables from
graphs and tables
- Concepts to real-life situations
2 Areas for Improvement
Understanding Data / Variables from Graphs
- Applying concepts to real events
Pupils have difficulty making
connection between science
concepts and events in real-life
situations
Pupils’ Areas for Improvement
Connect Concepts to Life
Learning with REAL-LIFE EXAMPLES that pupils can
relate to:
Explain how fans with a water mist system can help to
lower the surrounding temperature
[Concepts tested: Mist absorbs heat from surrounding]
2012 PSLE Question
1. Read children’s science magazines and watch science documentary programmes (for the purpose of building up interest) e.g. subscription forms for supplementary science magazines will be made available to all pupils
2. Get away from the old drilling mindset. Avoid ROTE memorizing of the subject
3. Help to ensure that child understands the contents in the textbook through & through
How can I help my child?
4. Encourage and help your child to be curious and
connect concepts to real-life situations and guide
him/her by asking questions. Essentially,
questioning helps to probe understanding ( e.g.
How can we explain? ); prompt further thinking (
e.g. What would happen if…? )
How can I help my child?
