Key Programmes
Explore how our key Science programmes nurture curiosity and deepen understanding through hands-on investigations, outdoor learning, technology and learning journeys beyond the classroom.
“Each Child a Seed” Programme
Level(s):
P3
Objective:
Every Child a Seed is one of the programmes organised by NParks to involve school students in appreciating greenery. The programme gives every P3 student a chance to grow their own plant, go through and appreciate the challenges of the planting process, and experience the joy of seeing their plants grow.
Complementing the Primary 3 Science syllabus, this programme will also teach students about the life cycle of a plant, plant parts and their functions. The values of care and responsibility will also be reinforced.
Through this programme, we hope that students will appreciate the effort needed to care for plants and understand that every Singaporean plays a part in shaping our City in a Garden.
Plants Exploratory Experience at Our Ngee Ann Garden
Level(s):
P3 and P4
Objective:
Students will be able to visit the school garden to observe and explore plants and plant parts. The observations will support students to deepen their understanding of scientific concepts related to plants.
Tapping on the affordances of ICT tools such as Google sites, students take ownership of their own learning by gathering of and understanding information about plants. Students learn from one another as they discuss and share what they have observed in class.
Self-directed Exploratory Learning
Level(s):
P3 and P6
Objective:
Students are provided with learning experiences through observing life cycles of plants and animals, self-directed explorations, and/or conducting performance tasks.
Students learn by doing and reflect on their learning to develop scientific knowledge, skills and attitudes. They also collaborate and communicate their scientific ideas with one another. At the end of the tasks, students take ownership of their own learning when they reflect on their learning experiences.
Thematic Learning Stations
Level(s):
P3 to P6
Objective:
The learning stations across the different themes allow students to acquire knowledge and understanding of their natural and physical world based on investigations, apply the skills and processes of inquiry and develop attitudes and values that are essential to the practice of science.
Learning Journey
Level(s):
P3 to P6
Objective:
Learning journeys are organized for the various levels, where possible, for students to strengthen the learning of scientific concepts and enriching their learning experiences beyond the classroom.
Science Excellence 2000 E2K
Level(s):
P4
Objective:
Selected Primary 4 students are given opportunities to engage in scientific investigations involving advanced Science concepts. This programme aims to stimulate curiosity and to further develop and strengthen our students’ abilities to study phenomena and their possible causes in scientific investigations and discourse. Through this programme, students learn to work harmoniously in groups and work towards a common goal in solving problems.
Augmented Reality enhanced learning
Level(s):
P5
Objective:
Students use AR to learn life science topics such as Plant transport system to deepen their understanding on abstract concepts through the incorporation of ICT tools for meaningful and authentic learning experiences.
Partnership
Level(s):
P1 to 6
Objective:
Students also have the opportunities to learn from external partners such as NParks, PUB, AVA through workshops, assembly talks and roving exhibition panels
