The Lower Secondary Science (LSS) curriculum is designed as integrated science where topics from the three disciplines of science are organised around themes. Each of the themes of Diversity - Models, Systems and Interactions - consists of topics from biology, chemistry and physics. In this course, we focus on deepening the pedagogical content knowledge for the topics under the theme of Diversity using the CoRe  framework.

1. To distil the essential components for the topics of exploring diversity of matter by (1) their physical properties, (2) chemical composition, and (3) using separation techniques.
