1 Curriculum Briefing Primary 5 Science 31 Jan 2015
2 The description of each domain which frames the practice of Science is illustrated as follows:
3 P5 Science Science as an Inquiry (The 5 important elements in Science Inquiry) 1. Question - Learner engages in scientific questions 2. Evidence - Learner collects data in response to questions 3. Explanation - Learner formulates explanations from evidence 4. Connection - Learner connects explanations to scientific knowledge 5. Communication - Learner communicates and justifies explanations
4 An Overview : Big Ideas in the Primary Science Syllabus Big Ideas (Themes) Diversity Systems Interactions Key Inquiry Questions What is the environment made up of? Why is it important to maintain diversity? How do we go about understanding the diverse range of living and non-living things? What are different parts of a system? How do parts of a system or different systems interact together to perform a function? How does Man interact with the surroundings? What are the consequences of Man s interactions with his surroundings? Cycles What are the cycles in our everyday life? How are cycles important to life? Energy How does energy affect Man and his surroundings? Why is it important to conserve energy?
5 Overview of the Primary Science Syllabus Themes Lower Block (P3 & 4) Upper Block (P5 & 6) Diversity Cycles Systems Diversity of living and non-living things Diversity of materials Cycles of Plants and Animals (Life Cycles) Cycles in matter and water (Matter) Plant system (Plant parts and functions) Human system (Digestive system) Interactions Interaction of forces (magnets) Energy Energy forms and uses (light and heat) Cycles in plants and animals (Reproduction) Cycles in matter and water (Water) Plant system (Respiratory and circulatory systems) Human system (Respiratory and circulatory systems) Cell system Electrical system Interaction of forces (Frictional, gravitational forces, force in springs) Interaction within the environment Energy forms and uses (photosynthesis) Energy conversion
6 Themes and Units taught at P5 Themes Lower Block (P3 & 4) Upper Block (P5& 6) Diversity Diversity of living and non-living things Diversity of materials Cycles Systems Cycles of Plants and Animals (Life Cycles) Cycles in matter and water (Matter) Plant system (Plant parts and functions) Human system (Digestive system) Interactions Interaction of forces (magnets) Energy Energy forms and uses (light and heat) Cycles in plants and animals (Reproduction) Cycles in matter and water (Water) Plant system (Respiratory and circulatory systems) Human system (Respiratory and circulatory systems) Cell system Electrical system Interaction of forces (Frictional, gravitational forces, force in springs) Interaction within the environment Energy forms and uses (photosynthesis) Energy conversion

11 P5 Science Written Assignments 1) Science Activity book (Cycle & System 2) Topical unit Supplementary Worksheets 3) Topical Reflection (on content page) NOTE : Worksheets will be returned for parents checking and signature upon completion of each topic. To be filed in the Science File
12 ASSESSMENT MODES FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT SUMMATIVEASSESSMENT
13 ASSESSMENT MODES FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT Purpose: Provides pupils continual feedback during the instructional and learning process to help pupils actively manage and adjust their own learning. Non-graded. Helps the pupils to answer these questions: Where am I going? Where am I now? How can I close the gap? Through: Teacher/ Self and peer assessment on identified performance tasks using rubric indicators Teacher s feedback on identified qualities of pupil s learning on topical unit content page Pupils self evaluation of own learning for each topic Pupils reflection of own learning for each topic
14 Feedback on the pupil s performance Opportunity for the pupil to take charge of her own learning
15 Rubrics related to the activity
16 Assessment Modes (Summative) Type SA1 Practical Assessment (23 July 2015) SA2 Format Section A(MCQ): 30 questions Section B(OE): 14 questions 3 questions on 1) Life Science 2) Physical Science Section A(MCQ): 25 questions Section B(OE) : 14 questions Duration 1 h 45 min 30 min 1 h 30 min Marks 100 (100% of SA1) Overall Weightage 15 (20% of SA2) 30% 70% 90 (80% of SA2)
17 P5 Science How can you help to bridge the gap between home and school to motivate your child in the learning of Science 1) Stimulate your child to make use of all senses in discovering the surrounding world. 2) Train your child to look carefully and to see beyond the surface appearance of the environment. 3) Encourage them to find answers to questions by patient observation and through the uses of references and making scientific connection between concepts and observations. 4) Ask them to manipulate and learn about familiar objects eg discarded appliances, old doorbells, dripping faucet etc.
18 P5 Science How can you help to bridge the gap between home and school to motivate your child in the learning of Science 5) Include your child as observer when making household repairs or domestic equipment 6) Consider subscription to a scientific magazine, a general science kit, aquarium or terrarium, a biography of an inventor 7) Help to reinforce your child s formal science training by working with your child on simple family projects eg caring for pet, preparing a potted garden etc. 8) Listen with interest, encourage and ask questions, be generous with praise, enthusiasm and sympathy.
19 P5 Science Available Supplementary Reading Materials Science Supplementary Reading Materials (Optional) : Explorer Pioneer Explorer Pathfinder Extreme Explorer
20 P5 Science Useful Website Sciberdiveris a web portal containing a repository of the best science websites, specially selected to closely match the learning objectives in the Primary and Lower Secondary science syllabuses in Singapore schools. The range of e-resources includes simulations, text, images, videos, games, quizzes You can also find the website useful to learn more about the science your children are studying in school.
