Science Programme
P3 - P6
Our science curriculum is thoughtfully designed to align seamlessly with the latest Ministry of Education (MOE) syllabus, ensuring students are fully prepared for the PSLE. However, we don’t stop at just teaching the syllabus. Created by the founders of Science Heuristics and authors of the renowned Linking Science Concepts (LiSC®) series, our curriculum incorporates proven, innovative methods that not only help students achieve outstanding grades but also inspire a genuine passion for science.
We use two powerful strategies to help students excel in PSLE Science: LiSC (Linking Science Concept) and CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning). These proven methods focus on different areas of science learning, giving students the skills needed to succeed.
LiSC® - Linking Science Concepts
Our LiSC® framework helps students connect scientific concepts across different topics, enabling them to understand the bigger picture. The approach follows three simple steps:
Li (Unlocking the Question):
Students learn to analyse questions and identify the key concepts being tested.
S (Sharpening Your Answer):
Students focus on crafting precise, accurate responses using the correct scientific terminology.
C (Putting It Together):
Students combine their knowledge into well-structured, clear answers.
This method helps students connect different topics and see the "big picture" in science.
CER - Claim, Evidence, Reasoning
The CER strategy complements LiSC by enhancing critical thinking and answer-writing skills. It also has three key steps:
Claim:
Students state the main answer to the question clearly.
Evidence:
Students support their claim with relevant data or observations.
Reasoning:
Students explain how the evidence supports the claim, linking it to scientific concepts.
This approach improves open-ended answers while developing problem-solving and logical reasoning skills.
LiSC and CER create a complete learning system that integrates understanding and application. LiSC builds connections between scientific concepts, while CER develops clear and logical expression. Together, they prepare students for exams and empower them to tackle complex problems with confidence.
