[Find a Science tutor](#request) Last updated: 2026-10-11 Science starts at Primary 3, and by Primary 6 the PSLE paper is mostly about applying ideas to situations a child has not seen before. Knowing the topic is half of it; the other half is writing an answer that names the concept, links it to what happened, and states the result. We tutor primary science across the East, at home or online: [Marine Parade and Katong](/areas/marine-parade-katong/), [Bedok](/areas/bedok/), [Tampines](/areas/tampines/) and [Pasir Ris](/areas/pasir-ris/). ## What is taught at each level MOE's 2023 Primary Science syllabus organises the subject into five themes: Diversity, Cycles, Systems, Energy and Interactions ([MOE, Primary Science Syllabus 2023](https://www.moe.gov.sg/api/media/ba3562d3-5b31-4459-8693-45cde7b97273/Primary-Science-Syllabus-2023.pdf)).
