1. What you Need to Know About Primary Science
At the primary level, the focus of science instruction is to develop students' capacity for scientific
thought through learning activities involving planning, designing, measuring, observing, evaluating
procedures, looking at data, and analyzing data. School primary science instruction offers learning
opportunities for students to develop scientific literacy, as well as the information, skills, values, and
attitudes necessary to participate in a technologically and scientifically advanced society.
However, teachers in schools have a tough time trying to provide personal attention to each
student. But due to the large size of the classes it is not possible for them to do so. At the same time,
science is a subject that not everyone can understand easily. Most primary school students have a
tough time understanding the complexity of chemistry and physics and they also find it difficult to
remember the anatomy of the plants and animals taught in biology.
Benefits of a tuition centre for science
They try and make the student curious and interested in science along with the ability to inquire and
solve problems. Develop an attitude of responsible citizenship, including respect for the
environment and a dedication to the smart use of resources. At the tuition centres the students will
become aware of the value and limitations of science as well as the linkages between science,
technology, and society. The students will learn the scientific language and acquire the abilities to
articulate ideas in situations involving science.
Students learn to recognize and comprehend the evolving character of scientific information at the
tuition centers. Students develop personally via studying science, preparing them for subsequent
studies or professions in technological and scientific domains.
Hence we can say that the primary science studies are meant to be part of the general studies. The
tuition centres in Singapore understand that the student’s learning should be connected instead of
being compartmentalized. Hence the primary level students learn the skills required to become
successful human beings and contribute to society in a positive manner.
