Primary 3 Science Tuition at Punggol | Starting Strong with eduKate

Primary 3 is the year Science becomes an examinable subject in Singapore. For many children, it’s their first real step into structured scientific learning, and it can feel exciting yet overwhelming. The shift from simple observations in lower primary to concepts, experiments, and written answers means students need support to adapt quickly.

At eduKate Punggol, our Primary 3 Science tuition helps students develop curiosity, confidence, and the right answering habits from the very start. With small-group classes (3 students max), engaging lessons, and structured guidance, we ensure children see Science not as a subject to memorise, but as a way of thinking.

Why Primary 3 Science Is a Big Step

New subject: First time Science is formally tested.
New skills: Students must observe, classify, and explain.
Written answers: Precision in language starts to matter.
Exam introduction: Science tests add to academic load.

Many children initially treat Science as just “facts to memorise,” but by P3 they must learn to apply knowledge and communicate scientifically.
