` The main goal of science at the primary level is to lay the
foundation for building a society that is culturally scientific
and technological, caring, dynamic and progressive.` This is to be achieved through providing opportunities for
students to acquire sufficient skills, knowledge and values
through experiential learning that inculcates the sense of
responsibility towards the environment and a high regard
of nature¶s creation.
` Emphasis is given on the mastery of scientific skills
needed to study and understand the world. Scientific skills
refer to process skills and manipulative skills.

` At the lower primary level, elements of science are
integrated across the curriculum.
` Science subjects and science related subjects arecrucial and students at early age must be exposed or
made familiar with it so as to prepare them for a more
advance study in the future.
` The effort to produce more science and technology
experts must be accompanied with the nurturing and
increasing of environmental awareness.
` A scientific problem may be approached in a
mathematical context.

` Many teachers are using hands-on methods in order to
teach the primary students. For examples, teacher allows
students to find the answer by observation from the
experiment.
` Besides, science education prepared children and taught
them about environmental issues. Science subject muststress the environmental awareness factors in its curriculum
contents. Thus, it has been taught to students as early as

` Teaching science incorporates creativity, imagination anddecision-making skill. Among the decision-making involved
are content of lessons, teaching strategies, laboratory
preparation and class management preparation.
` Teachers¶ duty is not only to explain, provide notes and use
the teaching board or other teaching aids. Science teachersneed to ensure that students are fascinated by the lesson
plans.

` The teachers pose some questions to let the students to
think and find out the answers. The students will improve
their thinking skill.` Teachers want the students to know scientific concepts and
definitions of scientific words, and to develop inquiry
abilities and critical thinking skills. Understanding science is
generally interpreted as passing a test.
` Teacher as a role model should stimulate pupils¶ curiosityand develop their interest about the world around them.
Thus, the students will be more interested in science
education and gaining more knowledge.
