My Pals are Here! Science (2nd Edition) is a comprehensive package based on the latest Primary Science syllabus set by the Ministry of Education, Singapore. Adopting the inquiry-based approach to the learning of Science, it aims to spark curiosity and awaken young minds to the world around them. Special emphasis has been placed on helping pupils acquire skills and processes.
The textbooks in this series attempt to present Science as a fascinating subject by helping pupils to find the answers to the questions in the world around them. This is accomplished through inquiry, where pupils are encouraged to be actively involved in finding the answers. At the same time, with the use of vibrant photographs and amusing illustrations to enhance learning, Science is made real and relevant to pupils.
There are four textbooks in this series, following the themes of the latest Primary Science syllabus in Singapore – Cycles, Systems, Energy and Interactions.
