 SYLLABUS

I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Subject : Science 4
Descriptive Title : Science for Grade 4
Grade Level : Grade 4
II. SUBJECT DESCRIPTION

Science has been a part of our everyday lives. This subject is designed as a continuation of the deepening of the processes and concepts as the pupils
engage themselves in the world of science. It highlights the enrichment of the essential science skills such as critical thinking, problem solving and scientific
reasoning skills and attitude referred to as habits of mind. These skills are necessary as it can be used and are indispensable in doing daily human activities.
The subject covers four important dimensions: understanding matter, living things and their environment, force, motion and energy as well as earth and
space. The concepts and skills that will be acquired with the provision of varied activities serve as the foundation towards learning the complexity of science as a
subject. Thus, the overall coverage of the subject aims to develop scientifically literate, responsible and productive global citizens.
