The Singapore secondary school science syllabus is designed to provide students with a broad and robust foundation in scientific knowledge and skills. It aims to cultivate scientific literacy and inquiry-based learning. Here's a general overview of how the syllabus is structured:

Lower Secondary Science:
‍
At the lower secondary level, students cover general science which includes topics from biology, chemistry, and physics.

This stage emphasizes basic scientific concepts, principles, and processes. The curriculum is designed to help students understand the interdisciplinary nature of science and its applications to everyday life.

‍

Upper Secondary Science:

At this stage, students have the option to pursue specific sciences more deeply. They can choose from:

Pure Sciences: Biology, Chemistry, Physics. These subjects are studied in greater depth and are designed for students who may wish to pursue scientific courses at pre-university and tertiary levels.

Combined Sciences: This is a more integrated approach where students study two sciences combined into one subject, such as Biology/Chemistry, Chemistry/Physics, or Biology/Physics.

The syllabus focuses on further developing scientific concepts, experimental skills, and critical thinking.
