My Pals are here! Science 1A & 1B Set of 2

Singapore’s “My Pals are Here” Science, International Edition is arranged by grade level, within a first-and-second semester structure.

This series follows a pathway of visual lessons & guided discovery, simultaneous development of concept knowledge and process skills, and the consolidation of understanding through scaffolded instruction. Based on the “5E Instructional Model” (Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Elaboration, and Evaluation), students will develop their scientific thinking skills through a variety of learning channels.

In the Student Textbook, brightly colored chapters are highly engaging, with interesting facts and questions to think about in the margin. A word bank and “Teaching points” that give the main lesson objective are provided at the beginning of the lesson. The main portion of the lesson provides simple explanations of concepts based upon photos or illustrations; chapters end with a fill-in-the-blank “self-check.”

My Pals are Here Science 1A covers the parts of the body; the five senses; caring for the body; people and animals; plants; and “things around me.” These units cross themes of systems, interactions, cycles, and diversity.

Level 1B covers day and night, the weather, light, heat, sound, push and pull, on and off. These units cross themes of systems, interactions, cycles, and diversity.
