Description
Built for day-to-day classroom planning, the Primary 1 Basic Science Scheme of Work 2026 organises the revised national curriculum into clear weekly teaching priorities. The content here is specific to Basic Science: representative areas include Things in and Around the Home, Shapes: Construction and Technology: Uses and Safe Handling.
The sequence gives science teachers room to combine explanation with observation, investigation and practical application, so concepts can be taught as ideas learners can test, identify, compare and use.
