Science in GDPS :
Inquiry-based & Experimental
ApproachTeaching science as Inquiry goes beyond merely presentingfacts.
Pupils are actively engaged in
• collecting and using evidence collected from “outdoorclassrooms” and through hands-on experiments
• formulating and communicating explanations based onscientific knowledge

Tip:
Refer to MOE syllabus when doing revision
with your child. Don’t rely on reference
books as syllabus guide.
![Page 17: Greendale Primary School Parents...Objectives of the workshop Parents will be able to 1) know more about Science curriculum in GDPS 2) pick up strategies to support your child’s](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042111/5e8ba6ffa36b6a17bb4824d1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How can you support
your child’s learning?Ask “open”
questions instead of answer them
Explore togetherCreate a positive
and safe environment
Tip:
If you desire extra practice for your child,
use other schools’ papers instead of
assessment books. However, don’t rely
on the answer key when assessing your
child’ work.

ClassifyingClassification is done using similarities anddifferences observed among objects / organisms.
Classification tables and charts are used to presentclassification of objects/ organisms based onsimilarities/differences in characteristics.
Classification chart drawing and interpretationare expected of the pupils.
