Science

“Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.”

~ Carl Strong

The Bowen Science Department aims to equip students not just with scientific knowledge and skills but also a scientific way of thinking so that students will be able to make informed decisions about emerging science-related issues which are important to self and society.

This is achieved through the use of the Inquiry Based approach for lessons and activities. The conduct of inquiry is founded on three integral domains of

a. Knowledge, Understanding and Application,
b) Skills and Processes and
c) Ethics and Attitudes.

The curriculum design seeks to enable students to view the pursuit of science as meaningful and relevant to real life.

Lower Secondary Science

G3	Science
G2 /G1	Qualified students may offer G3/G2 Science from the beginning or middle of the year (Subject Based Banding).

Upper Secondary Science

(Subject combination may vary)

G3	Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Science (Physics/Chemistry), Science (Biology/Chemistry)
G2	Science (Physics/Chemistry), Science (Biology/Chemistry) (Qualified students may offer O-level Science)
G1	Science

Beyond classroom lessons and laboratory practicals, Science teachers plan enrichment activities (refer to table below) across levels and streams to help students understand issues related to the roles played by Science in daily life, society and the environment. Scientifically-inclined students also participated / will participate in our Talent Development Programme for richer scientific exposure.
