Science

Vision

An innovative community of learners who embody curiosity and creativity through the application of scientific knowledge.

Mission

Empowering every child to be future-ready through the Practices of Science and the Values, Ethics and Attitudes in Science.

Objectives

• Enthuse and nurture all students to be scientifically literate, so that they are able to make informed decisions and take responsible actions in their daily lives.

• Provide strong Science fundamentals for students to innovate and pursue STEM for future learning and work.

Approach

Students are given the opportunity to excel and enjoy learning Science through multi-faceted activities at different levels to infuse the spirit of scientific inquiry. The active learning process in Science Education takes place within and beyond the confines of the classrooms and textbooks. These platforms aim to captures students’ interests to be inspired Science learners. Students engage in inquiry-based learning using the 5E Inquiry model (5E Inquiry model), which has scientific inquiry at its core, to facilitate the construction and consolidation of Science concepts. Ultimately, students will be able to innovate and propose models and solutions for real world problems.

Key Programmes

Young Explorers @ the Zoo! (YEZ!)

YEZ! takes our students out of the classroom and into the Singapore Zoo. This outdoor learning experience gives our students the opportunity to observe animals and plants at close range to find out more about them. In addition, students will hone their collaborative skills as they work with their friends to complete a series of questions in a trail using hand-held tablets. Do look out for our students holding these devices at the Singapore Zoo!

Learning Festival

A yearly affair, the fiesta continues to be the top favourite and highlight of every student. Birth from the voices of the students followed by the DiSciVery fair, this fiesta provides students with the hands-on opportunity to observe, experience and immerse in the world of Science and Mathematics.

At Kheng Cheng School, we believe that the best learning happens when students are having fun. The Sony Creative Science Award (SCSA) invites our students to step outside the classroom and into the shoes of an inventor. By creating toys that showcase scientific concepts, our students develop a deep, practical understanding of the world around them.

Our Track Record of Success: We are incredibly proud of our students' recent accomplishments, having emerged as the National Champion in 2024 and continuing our streak as a Finalist in 2025.

Through SCSA, Kheng Cheng students gain access to:

• Hands-on Workshops: Developing technical and "maker" skills.

• Creative Problem Solving: Turning abstract theories into working toys.

• Communication Skills: Learning how to present and explain their inventions.
