Super Science & STEM Adventures Curriculum

Kids explore science and engage in STEM projects through hands-on experiments and activities. We introduce scientific facts and foundational knowledge that ignite creativity and curiosity, building a strong base for future learning. Later on, kids will use this knowledge to design and construct more complex projects, developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation skills.

Our curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including but not limited to Astronomy, Botany, Zoology, Human Biology, Environmental Science, Earth Science, Weather and Meteorology, Marine Biology, Forces and Motion, Magnetism, Energy, and much more.

By immersing students in inquiry-based learning, we aim to inspire a lifelong love of science while preparing them with the knowledge and skills they need for the future.

Some examples of our topics:

Astronomy:

  • Learning about the Sun, Moon, planets, stars, and constellations.

  • Basic concepts of day and night, seasons, and space exploration.

Botany:

  • Study of plants, how they grow, the parts of plants (roots, stems, leaves, flowers).

  • Photosynthesis and the life cycle of a plant.

Human Biology:

  • Introduction to the human body (skeleton, muscles, organs, senses).

  • Basic hygiene and health, like the importance of brushing teeth and washing hands.

Weather and Meteorology:

  • Learning about different types of weather (rain, snow, sunshine, clouds).

  • Understanding simple weather instruments (thermometer, wind vane).

STEM Learning

Using an inquiry-based method with hands-on projects, young learners will study the scientific topic of the week in depth.

Creative Arts

Whether your child is a beginner or an expert in art, our individualized projects will engage them in exploring the world of creativity.

Guided Open play

For gross motor development, children will engage in exercises between STEM and art learning sessions. Activities include jumping and tumbling in the gym area, building a blue castle using large blocks, and unlimited imaginative play in the themed playhouses.
