PREFACE
The aspiration of the nation to become an industrialised society
depends on science and technology. It is envisaged that successin providing quality science education to Malaysians from an earlyage will serve to spearhead the nation into becoming a knowledgesociety and a competitive player in the global arena. Towards thisend, the Malaysian education system is giving greater emphasisto science and mathematics education.
The Science curriculum has been designed not only to provideopportunities for students to acquire science knowledge and skills,develop thinking skills and thinking strategies, and to apply thisknowledge and skills in everyday life, but also to inculcate in themnoble values and the spirit of patriotism. It is hoped that the
educational process en route to achieving these aims wouldproduce well-balanced citizens capable of contributing to theharmony and prosperity of the nation and its people.
The Science curriculum aims at producing active learners. To thisend, students are given ample opportunities to engage in scientificinvestigations through hands-on activities and experimentations.The inquiry approach, incorporating thinking skills, thinkingstrategies and thoughtful learning, should be emphasisedthroughout the teaching-learning process. The content andcontexts suggested are chosen based on their relevance andappeal to students so that their interest in the subject is enhanced.
In a recent development, the Government has made adecision to introduce English as the medium of instruction in
the teaching and learning of science and mathematics. Thismeasure will enable students to keep abreast of developmentsin science and technology in contemporary society byenhancing their capability and know-how to tap the diversesources of information on science written in the Englishlanguage. At the same time, this move would also provideopportunities for students to use the English language andhence, increase their proficiency in the language. Thus, inimplementing the science curriculum, attention is given todeveloping students ability to use English for study andcommunication, especially in the early years of learning.
The development of this curriculum and the preparation of thecorresponding Curriculum Specifications have been the workof many individuals over a period of time. To all those whohave contributed in one way or another to this effort, may I, onbehalf of the Ministry of Education, express my sinceregratitude and thanks for the time and labour expended.

INTRODUCTION
As articulated in the National Education Policy,education in Malaysia is an on-going effort towards developingthe potential of individuals in a holistic and integrated mannerto produce individuals who are intellectually, spiritually,emotionally and physically balanced and harmonious. Theprimary and secondary school science curriculum is developedwith the aim of producing such individuals.
As a nation that is progressing towards a developednation status, Malaysia needs to create a society that isscientifically oriented, progressive, knowledgeable, having ahigh capacity for change, forward-looking, innovative and acontributor to scientific and technological developments in the
future. In line with this, there is a need to produce citizens whoare creative, critical, inquisitive, open-minded and competentin science and technology.
The Malaysian science curriculum comprises threecore science subjects and four elective science subjects. Thecore subjects are Science at primary school level, Science atlower secondary level and Science at upper secondary level.Elective science subjects are offered at the upper secondarylevel and consist of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, andAdditional Science.
The core science subjects for the primary and lowersecondary levels are designed to provide students with basicscience knowledge, prepare students to be literate in science,and enable students to continue their science education at theupper secondary level. Core Science at the upper secondary
level is designed to produce students who are literate inscience, innovative, and able to apply scientific knowledge indecision-making and problem solving in everyday life.
The elective science subjects prepare students who
are more scientifically inclined to pursue the study of scienceat post-secondary level. This group of students would take upcareers in the field of science and technology and play aleading role in this field for national development.
For every science subject, the curriculum for the year isarticulated in two documents: the syllabus and the curriculumspecifications. The syllabus presents the aims, objectives andthe outline of the curriculum content for a period of 2 years forelective science subjects and 5 years for core sciencesubjects. The curriculum specifications provide the details ofthe curriculum which includes the aims and objectives of the
curriculum, brief descriptions on thinking skills and thinkingstrategies, scientific skills, scientific attitudes and noble values,teaching and learning strategies, and curriculum content. Thecurriculum content provides the learning objectives, suggestedlearning activities, the intended learning outcomes, andvocabulary.
AIMS

Science Process Skills
Science process skills enable students to formulate theirquestions and find out the answers systematically.
Descriptions of the science process skills are as follows:
Observing Using the sense of hearing, touch,smell, taste and sight to collectinformation about an object or aphenomenon.
Classifying Using observations to group objectsor events according to similarities ordifferences.
Measuring andUsing Numbers Making quantitative observationsusing numbers and tools withstandardised units. Measuringmakes observation more accurate.
Inferring Using past experiences or previouslycollected data to draw conclusions andmake explanations of events.
Predicting Stating the outcome of a future eventbased on prior knowledge gainedthrough experiences or collected data.
Communicating Using words or graphic symbols suchas tables, graphs, figures or models todescribe an action, object or event.
Using Space-TimeRelationship
Describing changes in parameter withtime. Examples of parameters arelocation, direction, shape, size, volume,weight and mass.
Interpreting Data Giving rational explanations about anobject, event or pattern derived fromcollected data.
DefiningOperationally
Defining concepts by describing whatmust be done and what should beobserved.
Controlling Variables Identifying the fixed variable,manipulated variable, and respondingvariable in an investigation. Themanipulated variable is changed toobserve its relationship with the
responding variable. At the same time,the fixed variable is kept constant.
Hypothesising Making a general statement about therelationship between a manipulatedvariable and a responding variable inorder to explain an event orobservation. This statement can betested to determine its validity.
Experimenting Planning and conducting activities totest a certain hypothesis. These
activities include collecting, analysingand interpreting data and makingconclusions.

Manipulative Skills
Manipulative skills in scientific investigation are psychomotorskills that enable students to:
? use and handle science apparatus and laboratorysubstances correctly.
? handle specimens correctly and carefully.
? draw specimens, apparatus and laboratory substancesaccurately.
? clean science apparatus correctly, and
? store science apparatus and laboratory substancescorrectly and safely.
THINKING SKILLS
Thinking is a mental process that requires an individual tointegrate knowledge, skills and attitude in an effort tounderstand the environment.
One of the objectives of the national education system is toenhance the thinking ability of students. This objective can beachieved through a curriculum that emphasises thoughtfullearning. Teaching and learning that emphasises thinking skillsis a foundation for thoughtful learning.
Thoughtful learning is achieved if students are activelyinvolved in the teaching and learning process. Activities shouldbe organised to provide opportunities for students to apply
thinking skills in conceptualisation, problem solving anddecision-making.
Thinking skills can be categorised into critical thinking skillsand creative thinking skills. A person who thinks critically
always evaluates an idea in a systematic manner beforeaccepting it. A person who thinks creatively has a high level ofimagination, is able to generate original and innovative ideas,and modify ideas and products.
Thinking strategies are higher order thinking processes thatinvolve various steps. Each step involves various critical andcreative thinking skills. The ability to formulate thinkingstrategies is the ultimate aim of introducing thinking activitiesin the teaching and learning process.
Critical Thinking Skills
A brief description of each critical thinking skill is as follows:
Attributing Identifying criteria such ascharacteristics, features, qualities andelements of a concept or an object.
Comparing andContrasting
Finding similarities and differencesbased on criteria such as characteristics,features, qualities and elements of aconcept or event.
Grouping andClassifying
Separating and grouping objects orphenomena into categories based oncertain criteria such as commoncharacteristics or features.

Sequencing Arranging objects and information inorder based on the quality or quantity ofcommon characteristics or features suchas size, time, shape or number.
Prioritising Arranging objects and information in
order based on their importance orpriority.
Analysing Examining information in detail bybreaking it down into smaller parts to findimplicit meaning and relationships.
Detecting Bias Identifying views or opinions that havethe tendency to support or opposesomething in an unfair or misleadingway.
Evaluating Making judgements on the quality orvalue of something based on valid
reasons or evidence.
MakingConclusions
Making a statement about the outcomeof an investigation that is based on ahypothesis.
Creative Thinking Skills
A brief description of each creative thinking skill is as follows:
Generating Ideas Producing or giving ideas in a
discussion.Relating Making connections in a certain
situation to determine a structure orpattern of relationship.
Making Inferences Using past experiences or previouslycollected data to draw conclusionsand make explanations of events.
Predicting Stating the outcome of a future eventbased on prior knowledge gained
through experiences or collected data.MakingGeneralisations
Making a general conclusion about agroup based on observations madeon, or some information from,samples of the group.
Visualising Recalling or forming mental imagesabout a particular idea, concept,situation or vision.
Synthesising Combining separate elements or partsto form a general picture in variousforms such as writing, drawing or
artefact.Making Hypotheses Making a general statement on the
relationship between manipulatedvariables and responding variables inorder to explain a certain thing orhappening. This statement is thoughtto be true and can be tested todetermine its validity.
Making Analogies Understanding a certain abstract orcomplex concept by relating it to asimpler or concrete concept with
similar characteristics.Inventing Producing something new or adapting
something already in existence toovercome problems in a systematicmanner.

Thinking Strategy
Description of each thinking strategy is as follows:
Conceptualising Making generalisations based on inter-
related and common characteristics inorder to construct meaning, concept ormodel.
Making Decisions Selecting the best solution from variousalternatives based on specific criteria toachieve a specific aim.
Problem Solving Finding solutions to challenging orunfamiliar situations or unanticipateddifficulties in a systematic manner.
Besides the above thinking skills and thinking strategies,another skill emphasised is reasoning. Reasoning is a skillused in making logical, just and rational judgements.Mastering of critical and creative thinking skills and thinkingstrategies is made simpler if an individual is able to reason inan inductive and deductive manner. Figure 1 gives a generalpicture of thinking skills and thinking strategies.
Mastering of thinking skills and thinking strategies (TSTS)through the teaching and learning of science can bedeveloped through the following phases:
1. Introducing TSTS.
2. Practising TSTS with teachers guidance.
3. Practising TSTS without teachers guidance.
4. Applying TSTS in new situations with teachers guidance.
5. Applying TSTS together with other skills to accomplishthinking tasks.
Further information about phases of implementing TSTS canbe found in the guidebook Buku Panduan PenerapanKemahiran Berfikir dan Strategi Berfikir dalam Pengajaran danPembelajaran Sains(Curriculum Development Centre, 1999).

Teaching and Learning based onThinking Skills and Scientific Skills
This science curriculum emphasises thoughtful learning based
on thinking skills and scientific skills. Mastery of thinking skillsand scientific skills are integrated with the acquisition ofknowledge in the intended learning outcomes. Thus, inteaching and learning, teachers need to emphasise themastery of skills together with the acquisition of knowledgeand the inculcation of noble values and scientific attitudes.
The following is an example and explanation of a learningoutcome based on thinking skills and scientific skills.
Example:
Learning Outcome:
Thinking Skills:
Compare and contrast metallicelements and non-metallic elements.
Comparing and contrasting
Explanation:
To achieve the above learning outcome, knowledge of thecharacteristics and uses of metals and non-metals in everydaylife are learned through comparing and contrasting. The masteryof the skill of comparing and contrasting is as important as theknowledge about the elements of metal and the elements of
non-metal.

SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDES AND NOBLEVALUES
Science learning experiences can be used as a means toinculcate scientific attitudes and noble values in students.These attitudes and values encompass the following:
? Having an interest and curiosity towards the environment.
? Being honest and accurate in recording and validatingdata.
? Being diligent and persevering.
? Being responsible about the safety of oneself, others, andthe environment.
? Realising that science is a means to understand nature.
? Appreciating and practising clean and healthy living.
? Appreciating the balance of nature.
? Being respectful and well-mannered.
? Appreciating the contribution of science and technology.
? Being thankful to God.
? Having critical and analytical thinking.
? Being flexible and open-minded.
? Being kind-hearted and caring.
? Being objective.
? Being systematic.
? Being cooperative.
? Being fair and just.
? Daring to try.
? Thinking rationally.
? Being confident and independent.
The inculcation of scientific attitudes and noble valuesgenerally occurs through the following stages:
? Being aware of the importance and the need for scientificattitudes and noble values.
? Giving emphasis to these attitudes and values.
? Practising and internalising these scientific attitudes and
noble values.
When planning teaching and learning activities,teachers need to give due consideration to the above stagesto ensure the continuous and effective inculcation of scientificattitudes and values. For example, during science practicalwork, the teacher should remind pupils and ensure that theycarry out experiments in a careful, cooperative and honestmanner.
Proper planning is required for effective inculcation ofscientific attitudes and noble values during science lessons.Before the first lesson related to a learning objective, teachersshould examine all related learning outcomes and suggestedteaching-learning activities that provide opportunities for theinculcation of scientific attitudes and noble values.

Inculcating Patriotism
The science curriculum provides an opportunity for thedevelopment and strengthening of patriotism among students.For example, in learning about the earths resources, therichness and variety of living things and the development ofscience and technology in the country, students will appreciatethe diversity of natural and human resources of the countryand deepen their love for the country.
TEACHING AND LEARNINGSTRATEGIES
Teaching and learning strategies in the science curriculumemphasise thoughtful learning. Thoughtful learning is aprocess that helps students acquire knowledge and master
skills that will help them develop their minds to the optimumlevel. Thoughtful learning can occur through various learningapproaches such as inquiry, constructivism, contextuallearning, and mastery learning. Learning activities shouldtherefore be geared towards activating students critical and
-

creative thinking skills and not be confined to routine or rotelearning. Students should be made aware of the thinking skillsand thinking strategies that they use in their learning. Theyshould be challenged with higher order questions andproblems and be required to solve problems utilising their
creativity and critical thinking. The teaching and learningprocess should enable students to acquire knowledge, masterskills and develop scientific attitudes and noble values in anintegrated manner.
Teaching and Learning Approaches in Science
Inquiry-Discovery
Inquiry-discovery emphasises learning through experiences.Inquiry generally means to find information, to question and toinvestigate a phenomenon that occurs in the environment.
Discovery is the main characteristic of inquiry. Learningthrough discovery occurs when the main concepts andprinciples of science are investigated and discovered bystudents themselves. Through activities such as experiments,students investigate a phenomenon and draw conclusions bythemselves. Teachers then lead students to understand thescience concepts through the results of the inquiry. Thinkingskills and scientific skills are thus developed further during theinquiry process. However, the inquiry approach may not besuitable for all teaching and learning situations. Sometimes, itmay be more appropriate for teachers to present concepts andprinciples directly to students.
Constructivism
Constructivism suggests that students learn about somethingwhen they construct their own understanding. The importantattributes of constructivism are as follows:
? Taking into account students prior knowledge.
? Learning occurring as a result of students own effort.
? Learning occurring when students restructure their existingideas by relating new ideas to old ones.
? Providing opportunities to cooperate, sharing ideas andexperiences, and reflecting on their learning.
Science, Technology and Society
Meaningful learning occurs if students can relate their learningwith their daily experiences. Meaningful learning occurs inlearning approaches such as contextual learning and Science,Technology and Society (STS).
Learning themes and learning objectives that carry elementsof STS are incorporated into the curriculum. STS approachsuggests that science learning takes place throughinvestigation and discussion based on science and technologyissues in society. In the STS approach, knowledge in scienceand technology is to be learned with the application of the
principles of science and technology and their impact onsociety.
-
8/14/2019 Sains - Additional Science Form 4
20/93
12
Contextual Learning
Contextual learning is an approach that associates learningwith daily experiences of students. In this way, students areable to appreciate the relevance of science learning to their
lives. In contextual learning, students learn throughinvestigations as in the inquiry-discovery approach.
Mastery Learning
Mastery learning is an approach that ensures all students areable to acquire and master the intended learning objectives.This approach is based on the principle that students are ableto learn if they are given adequate opportunities. Studentsshould be allowed to learn at their own pace, with theincorporation of remedial and enrichment activities as part of
the teaching-learning process.
Teaching and Learning Methods
Teaching and learning approaches can be implementedthrough various methods such as experiments, discussions,simulations, projects, and visits. In this curriculum, theteaching-learning methods suggested are stated under thecolumn Suggested Learning Activities. However, teacherscan modify the suggested activities when the need arises.
The use of a variety of teaching and learning methods canenhance students interest in science. Science lessons thatare not interesting will not motivate students to learn andsubsequently will affect their performance. The choice ofteaching methods should be based on the curriculum content,
students abilities, students repertoire of intelligences, and theavailability of resources and infrastructure. Besides playingthe role of knowledge presenters and experts, teachers needto act as facilitators in the process of teaching and learning.Teachers need to be aware of the multiple intelligences that
exist among students. Different teaching and learning activitiesshould be planned to cater for students with different learningstyles and intelligences.
The following are brief descriptions of some teaching andlearning methods.
Experiment
An experiment is a method commonly used in sciencelessons. In experiments, students test hypotheses throughinvestigations to discover specific science concepts and
principles. Conducting an experiment involves thinking skills,scientific skills, and manipulative skills.
Usually, an experiment involves the following steps:
? Identifying a problem.
? Making a hypothesis.
? Planning the experiment
- controlling variables.- determining the equipment and materials needed.- determining the procedure of the experiment and the
method of data collection and analysis.? Conducting the experiment.
? Collecting data.
? Analysing data.
-
8/14/2019 Sains - Additional Science Form 4
21/93
13
? Interpreting data.
? Making conclusions.
? Writing a report.
In the implementation of this curriculum, besides guidingstudents to do an experiment, where appropriate, teachersshould provide students with the opportunities to design theirown experiments. This involves students drawing up plans asto how to conduct experiments, how to measure and analysedata, and how to present the outcomes of their experiment.
Discussion
A discussion is an activity in which students exchangequestions and opinions based on valid reasons. Discussions
can be conducted before, during or after an activity. Teachersshould play the role of a facilitator and lead a discussion byasking questions that stimulate thinking and getting students toexpress themselves.
Simulation
In simulation, an activity that resembles the actual situation iscarried out. Examples of simulation are role-play, games andthe use of models. In role-play, students play out a particular
role based on certain pre-determined conditions. Gamesrequire procedures that need to be followed. Students playgames in order to learn a particular principle or to understandthe process of decision-making. Models are used to representobjects or actual situations so that students can visualise the
said objects or situations and thus understand the conceptsand principles to be learned.
Project
A project is a learning activity that is generally undertaken byan individual or a group of students to achieve a certainlearning objective. A project generally requires several lessonsto complete. The outcome of the project either in the form of areport, an artefact or in other forms needs to be presented tothe teacher and other students. Project work promotes thedevelopment of problem-solving skills, time managementskills, and independent learning.
Visits and Use of External Resources
The learning of science is not limited to activities carried out inthe school compound. Learning of science can be enhancedthrough the use of external resources such as zoos,museums, science centres, research institutes, mangroveswamps, and factories. Visits to these places make thelearning of science more interesting, meaningful and effective.To optimise learning opportunities, visits need to be carefullyplanned. Students may be involved in the planning processand specific educational tasks should be assigned during the
visit. No educational visit is complete without a post-visitdiscussion.
