Science content coverage

 In this curriculum, there are three content areas covered: (1) Life Science; biology (2)
Physical Science; Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy and (3) Earth and Space Science.
Include the fundamental concepts in the discipline that have not changed over time and
are similar to concepts found in the basic education science curriculum in different
countries, key concepts that provide deeper understanding of scientific knowledge.
Nature of activities:
 Students are exposed to activities that has a variety of real-world science applications,
which helps them develop a more coherent understanding of the concept or process they
are learning. Also the Science activities are developed systematically wherein students
learn concepts at increasing levels of complexity.
Inquiry Skills
 Allow students to be actively engaged in designing and conducting investigations and
experimentations, which develop their inquiry skills involving asking questions about
the world, identifying and controlling variables, systematically collect and organize
