INTRODUCTION The Level One Primary Science curriculum is designed to stimulate pupils curiosity and develop their interest

as ell as ena!ling pupils to learn more a!out themselves and the orld around them through activities" The curriculum is articulated in t o documents# the sylla!us and the curriculum speci$ications" The curriculum speci$ications provide the details o$ the curriculum% !rie$ descriptions thin&ing s&ills and thin&ing strategies% scienti$ic s&ills% scienti$ic attitudes and no!le values% teaching and learning strategies and curriculum content"The curriculum content provides the learning o!'ectives% the intended learning outcomes and voca!ulary"

(I) The aim o$ the primary school science curriculum is to develop pupils interest and creativity through everyday e*periences and investigation that promote the ac+uisition o$ scienti$ic and thin&ing s&ills as ell as the inculcation o$ scienti$ic attitudes and values"

SCI,NC, PROC,SS S-ILLS Scientists continuously see& ne in$ormation %ne interpretation and ne meaning

regarding natural phenomena "The process used !y scientist to carry out research are process that !ring a!out solution to pro!lems and discoveries "(lthough these process are generally termed scienti$ic process %they are s&ills hich are re+uired !y all o$ us " ,veryone%not 'ust scientists %need science process s&ill to approach learning and the solving o$ pro!lem scienti$ically " Science process are mean to o!tain and investigate scienti$ic &no ledge "These are t o di$$erent aspects in science education %!ut they cannot !e separated %as they deal ith the hat and ho o$ the orld o$ science"In$ormation leading to scienti$ic

students are competent in using in+uiry s&ills "There$ore%the teacher should place importance on developing the science process s&ills o$ students %and not 'ust their a!ility to learn scienti$ic $acts "(lthough student need to remem!er $acts %they also need to e*perience %practice and appreciate science process s&ills !ecause these s&ills cannot !e ac+uired through reading"
