Students should be able to:

1. develop curiosity and interest in science;

2. acquire fundamental scientific knowledge and skills, and appreciate the

3. relationship between science and other disciplines;

4. develop the ability to make scientific investigation and solve problems;

5. use the language of science to communicate science-related ideas;

6. develop a basic understanding of the nature of science;

7. develop the ability to integrate and apply scientific knowledge and skills with other related disciplines;

8. recognise the social, ethical, economic, environmental and technological

9. implications of science, and develop an attitude of responsible citizenship and a commitment to promote personal and community health;

10. be prepared for further studies in STEM-related disciplines; and

11. become lifelong learners in science for personal development.

Knowledge and Understanding

Students should

• acquire basic scientific knowledge and understand some phenomena, facts,

• concepts and basic principles in science;

• recognise the connections and overarching coherence across different disciplines

• of science with unifying concepts;

• learn the vocabulary, terminology and convention used in science;

• apply scientific knowledge and skills to solve simple daily life problems.

Skills and Processes

Students should

• make observations, ask relevant questions, identify and define problems;

• use apparatus and equipment properly for conducting practical work;

• formulate hypothesis for investigation; control variables; plan and conduct investigation;

• make accurate measurement; use diagrams and graphs to present experimental results; collect and analyse data for making conclusion;

• use basic science language to communicate ideas;

• be able to think scientifically, critically and creatively;

• be able to integrate and apply knowledge and skills to solve problems collaboratively in real-life contexts;

• participate actively in group discussion and work effectively with other members in group;

• develop the ability to distinguish between fact, myth and belief, and make informed decision.

Values and Attitudes

Students should

• develop curiosity and interest in science and appreciate the wonder of the Nature and the development of the technological world;

• show respect to life and the environment;

• develop positive values and attitudes towards adopting healthy lifestyles;

• recognise the usefulness and limitations of science and the evolutionary nature of scientific knowledge;

• be aware of the relationship between science, technology, society and environment, and develop an attitude of responsible citizenship;

• develop an awareness of safety issues in everyday life, understand the reasons behind, and take proper actions to avoid accidents and reduce risks;

• recognise the effects of human activities on the environment and act sensibly for sustainable development of the environment
