Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the scheme move from measurement to living things?
First Term builds core science skills, measurement, light, technology, before Second Term applies those skills to air, water, and soil, and Third Term uses everything so far to study plants and animals as living things in depth.
Does this scheme apply outside Lagos State?
This scheme follows the Lagos State Ministry of Education’s unified scheme of work. Other states may sequence Basic Science topics slightly differently, so check with your local Ministry of Education if you’re outside Lagos.
