Department Heads and Members

As Science Teachers, we are Leaders of Inquiry in the Science classroom. We seek to:

• create a safe learning environment that will encourage and challenge our students to develop their sense of inquiry.

• Impart excitement and value of science to students, facilitate and role model inquiry process.

Holistic Science Education

In line with the revised Primary Science Syllabus by the Ministry of Education (MOE), our school designs a range of learning experiences aimed at cultivating 21st-century competencies in our students. More than just mastering scientific concepts, we prioritise nurturing our students' capacity to apply scientific knowledge in real-life situations. This educational approach encourages students to establish connections between scientific principles and their broader implications for the community around them.

To cultivate critical and adaptive thinking, students are provided with opportunities to actively engage in scientific practices such as experimentation and critical inquiry. Through these experiences, they not only participate in the scientific process but also collaborate with their peers, refining their problem-solving skills and analytical thinking.

Beyond the pursuit of knowledge, we also hope to instill a sense of responsibility and foster values, ethics, and attitudes in our students.

Learning Experiences In Science Classrooms

Learning Experiences In Frontier Eco-Wonders

The Frontier Eco-Wonder  is a vibrant outdoor learning space filled with diverse biodiversity, from colourful flowers to freshly grown vegetables. The garden fosters curiosity and facilitates a deeper understanding of scientific concepts as Frontierers explore and learn more about the interconnectedness of our natural environment through observation and hands-on experiences.

Besides the rich biodiversity, sustainability features like the solar-powered windmill, solar-powered aquaponics and hydroponics systems demonstrate the principles of conservation and resource management. These features enhance the teaching and learning of sustainability so Frontierers can deepen our scientific knowledge and cultivate lifelong values of environmental care and stewardship so that we can make a positive difference and be the difference in our homes and community.

Other Science progammes and resources:

Beyond the science curriculum, students can embark on a captivating journey of discovery through various enriching programs and learning experiences. For example, E2K Science offers selected students opportunities for hands-on experiments and collaborative exploration, fostering a deep love for inquiry-based learning.

Engaging in science-related competitions such as Singapore Primary Science Olympiad, Singapore Youth Science Fair, Abbott Young Scientist Programme, not only sharpens analytical skills but also sparks innovation and creativity.

In addition, our department has also curated resources such as science videos, games and simulations via our Science Digital Space, making science concepts accessible and enjoyable. Check out our Science Digital Space here.
