This document outlines the curriculum specifications for Science for Year 1 students in Malaysia. It covers three main topics: Ourselves, Animals, and Plants. For each topic, it lists the key learning objectives, suggested learning activities, expected learning outcomes, additional notes for teachers, and relevant vocabulary. The objectives include identifying parts of the body and senses, good health habits, types of animals and their habitats, parts of plants and what they need to grow. The activities suggest hands-on lessons involving observation, labeling, drawing, and experiments.
