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.
Key Approaches:
Inquiry-based Learning Through 5E Model
The 5E model provides a framework for a constructivist, guided-inquiry approach where students are supported to think and work scientifically by gathering and analysing evidence, and communicate their ideas with others.
Through different opportunities and resources such as hands-on activities, research and experiments and out-of-classroom experiences, we hope to spark our students' interest as they embark on a quest to understand the environment and things around us better.

Key Approaches
Communicating scientific reasoning through the Claim-Evidence-Reason approach
Students will be guided to use the Claim-Evidence-Reason approach to apply relevant scientific concepts and communicate scientific reasoning in different contexts.
