At the end of P5 syllabus teaching, pupils
should be able to
demonstrate knowledge and
understanding of scientific facts,
concepts and principles
apply scientific facts and concepts to
new situations
use process skills such as observing,
classifying, comparing, measuring
using apparatus and equipment and
generating possibilities.

• teaching students more than just the basic concepts of science
• students will be equipped with the skills to be able to use scientific knowledge to identify questions, and to draw evidence-based conclusions in order to understand and make decisions about the natural world and the changes made to it through human activity.
• This includes providing students with opportunities to : – ask questions about knowledge and issues that relate to their daily
lives, society and environment,
– be actively engaged investigative experiments that allow them to develop and apply their scientific skills and lastly,
– to develop attitudes and values that are essential to the practice of science.
• some of the strategies for conducting inquiry-based learning and teaching in JWPS includes Concept Cartoon, Concept Mapping, Cooperating Learning, Games, Field Trip, Investigation, Problem Solving, Projects, Questioning, Role Play.
