In line with MOE's Science Curriculum, the department views the study of Science as more than just a series of facts to be learnt. It aims to develop students with inquiring minds who can question and think critically about the content, and appreciate the value of Science in everyday life.
The department adopts inquiry-based learning and authentic teaching to help our students develop a sense of interest in the Sciences, and uses Learning Goals and Success Criteria to guide students in their learning and to help them assess their own progress. Additionally, there are opportunites for students to further explore their interest in the Sciences through Talent Development Programmes and field-trips with external partners.

Lower Secondary Science
At Secondary 1 and 2, all students take Lower Secondary Science pegged at Express, Normal (Academic) or Normal (Technical). Lower Secondary Science is a continuation of Primary School Science, and also acts as foundation for science specialisation in Upper Secondary. Content is grouped according to unifying ideas that cut across different sub-disciplines of sciences to allow students to see links and form connections. The aims of Lower Secondary Science is to foster in students an inquisitive mind about science, help them see the relevance of science in their lives, and to equip them with 21st Century Competencies.
Upper Secondary Physics (6091), Upper Secondary Chemistry (6092), Upper Secondary Biology (6093)
Commonly called the 'Pure Sciences', students studying these subjects can expect to learn deeply about the sciences. Beyond the acquisition of knowledge, a greater emphasis is placed on the understanding and application of scientific concepts and principles, both theoretically and experimentally. Students must be able to use what they have learn to solve problems and be able to effectively communicate their solutions.
Upper Secondary Science (Physics + Chemistry) (5076), Upper Secondary Science (Chemistry + Biology) (5078)
Commonly called the 'Combined Sciences', Express students studying these subjects learn content from two sciences: either Physics and Chemistry or Chemistry and Biology. Beyond understanding the content, students are expected to be able to apply what they have learnt, both theoretically and experimentally.
Upper Secondary Normal (Academic) Science (Physics + Chemistry) (5105)
Normal (Academic) students learn content from Physics and Chemistry. Students studying this subject as expected to be able to apply the content they have learnt in various situations.
Upper Secondary Normal (Technical) Science
Students taking this subject learn science that is contextualised around their everyday experiences and commonly observed natural phenomena. As such, there is a strong link between the content learnt and their real-life applications, allowing students to be prepared for post-secondary courses.
