Singapore’s education system is globally recognised for its rigour, depth, and excellence—especially in Science and Math. The Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) Science Curriculum is structured to develop not just academic knowledge but also critical thinking, inquiry skills, and real-world application. At Kiya Learning, we align our online Science classes with the MOE curriculum to help students from Primary to Secondary levels master scientific concepts with clarity and confidence.
📘
What is the MOE Science Curriculum?
The Singapore MOE
Science Curriculum follows a progressive approach that builds
conceptual understanding year by year. Science is formally introduced at Primary
3, and students continue their journey through Primary 6 PSLE and
into Lower and Upper Secondary levels, where they explore Biology,
Chemistry, and Physics in more detail.
The curriculum focuses on:
- Knowledge:
Understanding scientific facts, concepts, and principles
- Skills:
Developing inquiry, observation, experimentation, and analysis skills
- Attitudes:
Cultivating curiosity, perseverance, and respect for evidence
- Application:
Connecting science with everyday life and real-world issues

MOE Science Curriculum by Levels
🧪
Primary Science (P3 to P6)
Primary Science introduces young
learners to the foundations of
scientific thinking, aligned
with PSLE objectives.
Core Themes Include:
- Diversity of living and non-living things
- Life cycles of plants and animals
- Systems: Human body, plant parts, electrical systems
- Interactions: Magnetism, friction, forces
- Energy: Light, heat, water cycle, changes in states of
matter
- Environmental awareness and sustainability
Skills Developed:
- Making observations and predictions
- Conducting simple experiments
- Recording data in tables and graphs
- Drawing conclusions based on evidence
- Answering structured and open-ended PSLE-style
questions
At Kiya Learning, our Primary
Science classes are designed to make these abstract topics engaging and
understandable through visual explanations, interactive sessions, and mock
PSLE test papers.
🧬
Lower Secondary Science (Sec 1 & Sec 2)
At the Secondary level, Science is
more inquiry-based
and analytical. Students begin exploring each branch of science in more
depth.
Key Topics Covered:
- Cells, tissues, and organ systems
- Properties and classification of matter
- Elements, compounds, and mixtures
- Physical and chemical changes
- Forces and motion
- Light and sound
- Heat and energy transfer
- Scientific method and experimental techniques
Our tutors at Kiya Learning help
students master not just the content, but also answering techniques for
multiple-choice, structured, and data-based questions, which are essential
for the GCE O-Level pathway.
⚛️
Upper Secondary (O-Level / IP / Combined Science / Pure Sciences)
At this level, students choose
between Pure
Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) or Combined Science,
depending on their academic path.
🔹
Physics:
- Kinematics, forces, pressure, work and energy
- Waves, electricity, magnetism
- Radioactivity, electromagnetic spectrum
🔹
Chemistry:
- Atomic structure, chemical bonding
- Acids, bases, salts
- Reactivity series, redox reactions
- Organic chemistry, chemical calculations
🔹
Biology:
- Cell structure and functions
- Genetics, reproduction, and inheritance
- Nutrition and transport in plants and animals
- Human systems and disease
At Kiya Learning, we provide exam-focused
revision, practical application techniques, and topic-wise drills that are
tailored to O-Level
and IP students.
