International Science

Vector International Primary Science is a brand-new exciting
series designed to engage students, spark their interest in
scientific knowledge and equip them with the skills necessary
to excel in the modern, ever-changing world. The framework of
this innovative six-level course for primary students is designed
to provide a comprehensive set of progressive learning
objectives for Science and aims to systematically develop
practical skills through scientific enquiry. These skills are
useful in everyday life and are not limited to Science lessons.
The course is organised through the topic-based approach,
thus allowing learners to investigate a variety of scientific
topics in depth and encouraging them to ask questions,
predict, observe, explore, explain, practise, and assess their
understanding and abilities.
