Science Centre Singapore as an Alternate Classroom

In the realm of science education beyond the classroom, science centres are important in motivating learners of science, both young and old. In this chapter, we examine the role(s) that science centres play as a complement to formal science education in schools in Singapore. Besides static and special feature exhibits, the Science Centre Singapore also runs customised programmes, including events and competitions, to complement the diverse forms of inquiry and learning activities offered by schools.
