(Source: MOE Primary Science Syllabus)

The Science Curriculum Framework encapsulates the thrust of Science education in Singapore to provide students with strong fundamentals in Science for life, learning, citizenry and work.

Concordians are given opportunities to develop the ways of thinking and doing science through various learning experiences. They engage in discussions, hands-on activities and the use of SPAKLE kits bring Science to life in the classroom.

Science Key Programmes

1. COL.OURS @ Primary 1 & 2: Centre of Learning - Our Unique Research in Science

At COL.OURS, we believe that the spirit of scientific inquiry begins early. Although there is no formal Science curriculum at the Primary 1 and 2 levels, our young learners are immersed in rich and exciting experiences that ignite their curiosity about the world around them.

Through engaging science videos, hand-on activities both inside and outside the classroom, and a thoughtfully curated selection of non-fiction Science books, students are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and discover.

COL.OURS@ Primary 1&2 lays a strong foundation for a lifelong love of Science by nurturing inquisitive minds and a sense of wonder in every child.

2. Primary 3 - Little Farmers

Primary 3 students are given an opportunity to experience urban farming first-hand in our school’s garden during their Modular CCA. Besides reinforcing their Science learning on plants, it inculcates outdoor education life skills, shelter building, dengue prevention as well as the values of responsibility, teamwork and care towards plants and our environment.

3. Primary 4 - Hydroponics

Hydroponics is a soilless farming technology commonly used in Singapore. This hands-on programme provides a good opportunity for students to reinforce their learning on plants and plant parts. Primary 4 students get to grow vegetables in our school’s hydroponics system, from transplanting seedlings to harvesting the adult plant after three to four weeks!
