Science Research I is a course in the STEM curriculum that is designed to equip students with essential scientific attitudes and skills that will prepare them in conducting science investigations. These skills include observing, inferring, classifying, predicting, communicating, formulating hypothesis, identifying variables, describing relationships between variables, designing investigation, experimenting and writing simple scientific reports. This course provides an excellent groundwork or prerequisite course for higher research works.

This course is a study and investigation into the chemistry and chemicals of everyday life. The study of chemistry is studied along with practical applications. Topics of study include basics of: organic chemistry, food chemistry, chemistry in everyday life, chemistry and medicine. Organic chemistry is taken as a prerequisite knowledge for polymerization and polymer materials. Food chemistry is limited to essential topics suited to the grade level, such as preservatives, food preservation, food processing, and chemistry of changes occurring during processing, storage and utilization. Topics on Chemistry in Everyday Life are selected based on practicality to students, as well as consideration of students’ age group interest. Advanced materials are also included, to motivate future innovators. Chapter on Chemistry and Medicine is chosen for health and wellness in order to promote quality life.

The K to 12 science curriculum is learner-centered and inquiry-based, emphasizing the use of evidence in constructing explanations. Concepts and skills in Life Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, and Earth Sciences are presented with increasing levels of complexity from one grade level to another in spiral progression, thus paving the way to a  deeper understanding of core concepts.  The integration across science topics and other disciplines will lead to a  meaningful understanding of concepts and their application to real-life situations.

In English 9, the learners can express their understanding of how Anglo-American literature and other types of texts use as means of enhancing one's self. Also, in processing, assessing and summarizing information.
