• Learning area is called Science and Health• Formally starts in Grade III (40 minutes daily)• More complex study in Grades V and VI (60 minutes)• Aims to help the Filipino child • Gain a functional understanding of science concepts and principles;• Acquire science skills as well as scientific attitudes and values needed in solving
everyday problems• Concepts include those pertaining to health and sanitation, nutrition, food production,
environment and conservation
Elementary Level
•Aims to •Promote student awareness of the relevance of science in life;•Develop critical, analytical and creative thinking skills as well as skills in problem solving•Help students understand science concepts and its application to real life situations
•Science is allotted 360 minutes each week for regular high schools•The offerings (required and electives): Integrated Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics•Science High Schools have additional subjects in the areas of Science, Math & Research – Overall, Science is allotted 550 minutes per week

• Aside from the Intel Philippines Science Fair (IPSF), the following are held:– Regional Science High Schools Congress– Science Fair sponsored by the ASEP (Association of Science
Educators of the Philippines)– Inventors’ Competition and Exhibition (Technological
Applications and Promotions Institute – TAPI – Department of Science and Technology)
– Campus-level science fairs for Philippine Science High Schools
• Community and government assistance are in the form of provision of resources (materials, money and time) and moral support from the parents and teachers.

• Cultivating science culture early: How to mold young minds in the discipline of science
• Quality of Projects– Need to have capacity building programs for teacher-advisers to manage
and provide assistance to the students in the conduct of basic science research
– Conducting quality science research on a budget• Organization and management
– Need to help teachers network with available resources in the academe, industries and other agencies for experimentation and testing
• Continuity of work on research projects: – how to build on previous research done – Need to ensure intellectual property protection– Find opportunities for publication of qualified science research projects in
science journals and/or presentation in international forums
Challenges
