Introduction

Checkpoint Science helps students develop a life-long curiosity about the natural world and enables them to seek scientific explanations to the phenomena around them. This approach provides them with the knowledge and skills they require to excel at science in later stages of education and to make informed choices, including considering sustainability issues and meeting the challenges facing our environment. This syllabus covers some main areas such as living things and how they interact, the study of matter, the interaction of matter and energy, Earth and space, thinking and working scientifically, science in context…
