Integrated Science (Junior Forms)

Mission

To help students to develop an interest and enjoyment in Science and Nature.
To help students to develop the ability to enquire and to solve problems.
To teach students to acquire the basic scientific knowledge and concepts for living in and contributing to a scientific and technological world.
To help students to be acquainted with the language of science and be equipped with the skills in communicating ideas in science-related contexts.

Curriculum Goals

Junior Forms	Knowledge and Understanding: 1. acquire basic scientific knowledge and understand some phenomena, facts, concepts and basic principles in science 2. recognise the connections and overarching coherence across different disciplines of science Skills and Processes 3. recognise how scientific claims are supported by data, methods and reasoning in science 4. use apparatus and equipment properly for conducting practical work 5. formulate hypotheses, make quantitative and qualitative measurements, control variables, assess and minimise uncertainty in measurements, make conclusions based on the results for supporting or refuting the hypothesis set Values and Attitudes 6. develop curiosity and interest in science and appreciate the wonder of the Nature 7. show respect to life and the environment 8. develop proper values and attitudes towards adopting healthy lifestyles
