Welcome to Little Scientists

What’s Little Scientists?

Little Scientists adopts an inquiry-based, hands-on learning approach to early science education and is designed to incorporate exploration and play within children’s scientific learning experiences. The three-year programme caters to children ages 4 to 6 years old and aims to nurture scientific knowledge, skills, and values during children’s developing years.

Every level is divided into two terms (Term 1 and Term 2) with 15 lessons per term.

Little Scientists lessons support early scientific learning by placing equal emphasis on these six knowledge domains:

  • Life or Biological Science
  • The Nature of Matter or Chemical Science
  • Physical Sciences of Energy and Motion
  • Earth Science

  • The Nature and Practice of Scientific Inquiry

A total of 26 scientific skills and values are spread throughout every level to ensure more comprehensive and integrated scientific explorations in the preschool classroom.
