Singapore Science Curriculum Grades 5–10 — Grade-by-Grade Guide for Parents
EduVerseJr's Singapore Science curriculum guide is built for parents who want to know exactly what their child should be learning each year. Every topic on this page is aligned with the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) Science syllabus — Primary Science (5–6) and Lower / Upper Secondary Science (7–10), with O-Level Pure Sciences in Secondary 3 and 4 — the official national standard followed in Singapore schools. We have mapped Grade 5 through Grade 10 science topic by topic, so you can see what your child has covered, what is coming next, and where you might want extra 1-to-1 help.
Every student on our platform also gets Reva AI Teacher — a 24/7 AI science tutor that explains any topic on this page step-by-step, with worked examples and practice questions. For deeper coaching, our expert human teachers run live 1-to-1 online classes for Singapore students with built-in timezone scheduling.

PSLE Science & O-Level Sciences preparation
EduVerseJr offers focused PSLE Science preparation for Primary 6 students, and full preparation for Singapore-Cambridge GCE O-Level Pure Biology (6093), Pure Chemistry (6092), Pure Physics (6091) and Combined Science syllabuses (5076, 5077, 5078) for Secondary 4 students.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pure Sciences or Combined Science?
Both. Pure Sciences (three separate O-Level subjects) for students taking Triple Science; Combined Science (two-subject combinations) for students taking the Combined route. Tell us your school's offering.
Do you cover Express, Normal Academic and Normal Technical?
Default is Express. Normal Academic and Normal Technical streams supported on request based on your child's school placement.
Can you help with PSLE Science?
Yes. Dedicated PSLE Science preparation for Primary 6 with focus on experimental design questions and open-ended response writing.
