Primary 4 Science Tuition at Punggol | Strengthening Foundations for Upper Primary
Primary 4 is a crucial year for Science. After the introduction of Science in Primary 3, P4 students face more abstract concepts, structured exam formats, and deeper process skills. Many children experience a dip in results here because they are adjusting from “fun discovery” in P3 to application and explanation in P4.
At eduKate Punggol, our Primary 4 Science tuition bridges this gap. With 3-student small group lessons, personalised feedback, and inquiry-based learning, we help students build confidence, accuracy, and strong scientific habits that carry into P5, P6, and the PSLE.

Why Primary 4 Science Is a Transition Year
- Abstract topics introduced: digestive system, heat, magnets and forces.
- Keyword precision begins to matter in answers.
- Process skills (inferring, predicting, explaining) are tested more often.
- Exams get longer, requiring time management and structured revision.
Without support, misconceptions at P4 can compound and make upper primary Science harder.

FAQs (Schema-Ready)
Q: How is P4 Science different from P3?
A: P4 introduces more abstract topics like the digestive system, forces, and energy, and requires students to explain answers in full using scientific terms.
Q: Will tuition prepare my child for P5?
A: Yes. We bridge P4 content into P5, so students enter upper primary with confidence.
Q: Do you use experiments in tuition?
A: Yes. Simple demonstrations and inquiry activities are used to make Science engaging.
Q: My child is weak in writing keywords. Can tuition help?
A: Absolutely. We teach with keyword banks and frameworks to train precision in answers.
