Science Department Strategies and Action Plans

2016 - 2017

The Science Teachers would like to welcome all ‘Young Scientists’ into a new

academic year. This year, the learners explore real-world scenarios using their

understanding of the core concepts which not only makes them active learner,

it also constructs the elements which makes them a “21st Century Learners.” It

will provide an effective learning landscape that will prepare students for

success in the workplace – and in life.

GOALS To promote scientific inquiry and to use scientific methods to plan and

conduct investigations and experiments.

To develop science terminology, practice inquiry skills, apply reading skills

and use critical thinking and problem solving skills.

To enrich and extend learning by presenting high-interest science

concepts and ideas related to the science concepts in each chapter.

To develop skills in comparing objects and events to better understand

changes.

To generate science questions and to use reference sources to research

and explore science concepts.

To develop scientific abilities and skills this can be projected and applied

to real life.
