I often read about the frustration of not being able to find Science in English workbooks from parents with kids doing Science In English in DLP schools. This year (2016) the Ministry of Education Malaysia or Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM) introduced the DLP (Dual Language Programme) in selected schools that fulfill certain criteria set by KPM.
The pilot DLP starts for
- Std 1 pupils for "Dunia Sains dan Teknologi" and "Matematik"
- Std 4 pupils for "Sains" and "Matematik"
- Form 1 pupils for "Sains" and "Matematik"
Some parents are frustrated that they were unable to find workbooks for their kids to practice at home. Well, fret not. When a subject is in English, the world wide web is filled with resources you can use to help your child at home. What's more? They are free.
Here are some resources for Std 4 science in English. They may not be exactly the same syllabus exactly but when it comes to Science concepts, they're all the same. You have access to powerpoint presentations, printable word and pdf documents, videos. What more can you ask? All you need to do is search.
1. Std 4 Science Mind Maps - this is from the old Malaysian Std 4 Science syllabus. A summary of everything in mind maps.
