Course Description This course is design to further enhance the pupils scientific skills through a discussion of topics that

provide them with basic knowledge presented in ascending order as it relates to their own range of experiences. It also considers the pupils as an integral part of this exciting discipline and integrates health and environment which based on the conviction that learning occurs best in a healthy mind and a learned person should know practices and habits that to him is healthy. The focus of this environment is based on the realization that civilization has been reach in a point in history when many activities of people are causing deterioration of environment, thus environmental protection should be started in early life and content are arranged in the logical pattern of organization to enrich and provide the learner with useful guide to learning the target concepts and skills.

Specific Objectives

1. To develop functional understanding and application which contains the specific knowledge, skills and attitude necessary for active learning and the development of the pupils full potentials. 2. To strengthen basic thinking that could enhance the pupils knowledge on how science could be applied to their daily needs. 3. To acquire attitudes and practices related to the growth, sense organs, animals and plant parts, matter and energy, light and sound, force and motion, earth and weather, the sun and earth and values which are well-developed and are relevant to the needs of the community.
