Welcome

our vision & mission

to provide every hendersonian with a solid foundation in scientific concepts to aid lifelong learning.

to nurture individuals with enquiring minds, critical awareness and appreciation of the co-existence of man and the environment.

Announcements

Welcome to the Science Family!

During the 4 to 5 years in Henderson, our students go through a challenging and interesting Science curriculum, which is made up of the following disciplines - Biology, Chemistry and Physics. In the Lower Secondary levels, our students take General Science.

For students studying in:

The Express and Normal (Academic) streams
In Secondary One, the focus is on Physics and Biology topics. In Secondary Two, the focus is on Physics and Chemistry topics. In Upper Secondary level, students have a combination of choice within the three disciplines.

The Normal (Technical) streams
In Secondary One, the focus is on Physics and Chemistry topics. In Secondary Two, the focus is on Chemistry and Biology topics. In Secondary Three, the focus is on Physics Topics. In Secondary Four, the focus is on Chemistry and Biology topics.

Some of our approaches are:

Self-directed learning aided with information technology through inquiry-based learning and online learning programme, e.g. sciberdiver, modules involving usage of dataloggers

Enhanced Learning Experience through learning journeys and competitions.

Enjoy exploring!

A blast with Science Week 2014!

It was a scorching hot mid-morning and yet, enthusiastic students made their way to the soccer field and waited to launch their handmade PET rockets. Each launch of a rocket was accompanied by loud excited squeals, as students were amazed at the speed of and distance covered by their humble rockets.

The PET Rocket activity was just one of the many exciting activities helmed by the Science Department for the week long Science Week in Term 3 Week 5. Now in its second year running, the Science Week gave HSS Science teachers an opportunity to share their love for Science with students outside of the classrooms.

Different learners had different opportunities to experience the fun in Science and at their own comfort level. Kinaesthetic learners could try their hand at launching PET rockets and playing the D&I Science games and Periodic Table games with their friends, while auditory learners could listen to their schoolmates share their experiences in different Science enrichment workshops and camps. Daily magic shows, Science quizzes, and Science posters and displays were just some of the activities to engage our visual learners.
  
The Science Week was a clear success with more students seen being involved in and excited by the activities. Needless to say, the Science teachers are certainly more enthused to stage it with a bigger bang next year!
