MOE Approved Secondary Science Textbooks 2026 – Introduction
At the secondary level, Science education becomes more specialized to cater to students’ different academic pathways. The MOE-approved Secondary Science textbooks for 2026 vary based on the chosen science stream:
- Lower Secondary: Students follow a general science curriculum covering foundational topics in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. The textbooks introduce scientific concepts in greater depth compared to primary school, with an emphasis on practical applications and critical thinking.
- Upper Secondary: Science is divided into distinct subjects such as Pure Chemistry, Pure Physics, and Pure Biology, or Combined Science (with subject pairings like Physics-Chemistry or Biology-Chemistry). Additionally, students are categorized into G1, G2, or G3 levels under the new science curriculum framework, which determines the depth of content covered. The specific textbooks used will depend on the student’s chosen science track and subject combination.
These textbooks are aligned with the latest syllabus, ensuring students are well-prepared for national examinations like the O-Level, N(A)-Level, and IGCSE. Be sure to check with your school to confirm the exact textbooks required for your subject combination!
