Outline
3
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.
4
The Science curriculum seeks to nurture
the student as an INQUIRER.
Students to enjoy science and
value science as an important tool
in helping them explore their

measuring, communicating, analysing, formulating hypothesis, predicting, generating possibilities, inferring
New skills taught in P5:- Analysing (identifying variables affecting experiment,
determining relationship (patterns and trends), cause and effects and validity of experiment)
- Generating possibilities – devising methods to test a hypothesis
