Primary Science Activities Club

What are the objectives?

The objectives are to stimulate interest in science activities among students, enable students to carry out self-directed activities in areas of interest in science, and provide opportunities for students to develop initiative and creativity.

Who can participate?

Any primary school student can participate in the scheme.

How do I participate?

There are at least 16 different Young Scientist badges, which can be earned. To earn a badge, you have to buy a corresponding activity card and carry out the activities listed in the card. For each activity you complete, you earn a number of stars. After you have earned the required number of stars, you qualify for a badge. Your Science or Mathematics teacher must certify that you have completed each card properly. You can ask your teachers, parents or other experts for advice but you must carry out the activities yourself.

How many types of Young Scientist badges are there?

Presently, there are 17 badges.
The 'I am a young energy saver' is the latest addition, a collaboration with HDB.

How long does it take to complete each activity card?

The activities are to be carried out during your leisure time. It normally takes about 3 months to complete one activity card.

Who certifies the activities?

Your Science or Mathematics teacher in school will certify each activity in the cards after he or she is satisfied with your work.

Where do I get the activity cards?

The activity cards are available at the Science Centre Singapore's Curiosity Shop. They cost $2.50 each.

Where do I send my completed activity card?

After you have completed the activity card and earned the required number of stars, hand the card over to your Science or Mathematics teacher.

What are my rewards?

A certificate and badge will be awarded to you for each activity card you complete. You will also have an opportunity to display your work.

Where is the display held?

There will be a display of selected projects in one of the primary schools or in the Science Centre Singapore where a badge presentation ceremony is held.

The Primary Science Activities Club is jointly organised by the Science Centre Singapore, the Science Teachers Association of Singapore, the Singapore Association for the Advancement of Science and the Singapore National Academy of Science. The scheme is supported by the Ministry of Education.
