Marshall Cavendish | Lower Secondary Science Matters (2nd Edition) Practical Book Volume A

The Science Matters (2nd Edition) practical books are designed to complement the textbooks, which are aligned to the latest Lower Secondary Science syllabus by the Ministry of Education, Singapore. The practical books enhance the understanding of concepts that students learnt in the textbooks.

Hands-on activities are used in the books to encourage students to explore scientific concepts through experimentation. They develop process skills that students need in order to carry out scientific inquiry. Selected experiments begin with real-life contexts so that students can develop an understanding of how the abstract scientific concepts learnt are connected to real-life occurrences.

Each practical book:

• Develops process skills in students
  The skills developed in each activity are clearly outlined so that students are made aware of the process of scientific inquiry that occurs in the activity. This leads to a greater understanding of Science knowledge and promotes the spirit of inquiry in students.
• Promotes Science as an inquiry
  The activities encourage students to discover concepts on their own through experimentation. These activities have been carefully designed to develop students to think in a systematic and logical manner about the world around them.
