Sec 2 G1 Science
Ancourage Academy · Secondary · Sec 2
Content reviewed: Jan 2026
Sec 2 G1 Science tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) expands on Sec 1 with more detailed coverage of physical and life science topics. Under Full SBB, Sec 2 is a pivotal year — strong performance supports level-up to G2. Our ESB methodology uses structured experiments and visual learning to deepen understanding.
What Makes Us Different
Our proven teaching methodology combines evidence-based approaches for maximum learning effectiveness
Ebbinghaus Memory Theory
Scheduled review sessions at increasing intervals — today, tomorrow, next week, next month — so concepts are revisited just before they fade, building durable long-term memory through strategic timing rather than cramming.
Socratic Questioning
Purposeful questioning that guides children to discover answers themselves — 'How did you figure that out?' and 'What would happen if we tried it another way?' — developing thinking skills rather than just memorising answers.
Bruner's Scaffolding
Step-by-step support that is gradually removed as confidence grows — tutors first demonstrate, then guide with prompts, then step back as children work independently — ensuring mastery at each stage before moving forward.

Curriculum Overview
- ✓Heat and temperature: Conduction, convection, and radiation with everyday examples and simple experiments.
- ✓Electricity: Simple circuits, conductors, insulators, and basic electrical safety.
- ✓Living systems: Nutrition, food groups, and the digestive system with practical activities.
- ✓Ecology basics: Food chains, habitats, and simple environmental awareness.
- ✓Practical skills: Setting up experiments, recording results in tables, and drawing simple graphs.
- ✓Assessment preparation: Structured answer techniques for G1 science question formats.
What Sec 2 G1 Science students commonly work on
- 1
Process explanations — describing how things work step by step
- 2
Circuit diagrams — understanding and drawing simple electrical circuits
- 3
Data recording — organising experiment results neatly in tables and graphs
- 4
Applying knowledge — using what they have learned to explain new situations
- 5
Exam technique — answering structured questions within time limits
Learning Progression
Builds On
Sec 1 G1 Science with basic observation and recording skills
Prepares For
Upper secondary pathways — G1 students at S3-S4 may take Computing and/or Science electives. Level-up to G2 (≥75%) opens Combined Science options.
Key Transition
Sec 2 G1 Science bridges lower and upper secondary — the practical skills and scientific thinking developed here support both applied learning pathways (Computing, ITE) and potential level-up to G2 Combined Science.

Frequently Asked Questions
From 2026, G1 students at upper secondary must take at least Computing or Science as an elective. Students who level up to G2 can access Combined Science. Sec 2 is the key year for building the foundations for either pathway.
Yes. Schools assess at the end of Sec 2, and students achieving 75% or above may level up to G2 Science, which opens pathways to Combined Science in upper secondary. Our tuition builds the conceptual depth needed for this transition.
Many ITE Nitec programmes (e.g., Engineering, Electronics, Health Sciences) require basic scientific understanding. G1 Science builds the practical foundation — observation, measurement, and logical thinking — that ITE programmes build upon.
Our small-group classes are intentionally kept between 3 and 6 students so every learner receives close guidance, timely feedback, and ample practice.
Each lesson is 2 hours, providing ample time for thorough coverage of topics and interactive learning.
Yes. All lesson materials and worksheets are provided and included in the fees. Students should bring regular stationery and, where applicable, school textbooks/workbooks for reference.
Yes. Our materials and pacing align with the MOE syllabus. External syllabuses (e.g. IGCSE, IB) are available upon request.
