About Singapore's My Pals are Here International Science 


Singapore's My Pals are Here International Science materials are based on the science curricula presented in the Singapore public schools. This kid-friendly curriculum is based on the inquiry method of study.

Full-color photographs and illustrations in the My Pals are Here International Science textbook will immediately grab your student's attention. But, it is the easy-to-use Teacher's Guide that will make it super-appealing for any homeschool parent. 


MPH Science develops higher-order thinking skills through the questions raised to ignite your child's curiosity and build his inquiry skills. 


MPH Science covers biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science elements at each level. At the end of each unit is a review, a test, a glossary, and more.


There are just three books for each grade level: a Textbook, a consumable Activity Book, and a Teacher's Guide. Each black-and-white Teacher's Guide includes lesson plans, suggestions for teaching, and answers to all textbook and activity book exercises.


The black-and-white consumable Activity Book provides related exercises and reinforces concepts, many learned through art-based activities. Other hands-on activities are included to develop students' competencies and cater to kinesthetic and visual learners. 


MPH Science does require frequent parental involvement, regardless of the grade being taught. Parents will need to oversee experiments, explain concepts, and answer questions. Thankfully, everything you will require is covered in the Teacher's Guides; you do not need a strong science background. Corresponding pages of the textbook and activity book are referenced. Any other resources or materials you may need are cited. They have even suggested how much time is necessary for every step of each lesson.


While there are plenty of hands-on activities, MPH Science has chosen to emphasize reading, written work, and student-teacher interaction over many science experiments. That is welcome news for parents who dread the work and the mess of science experiments. 


MPH Science is a solid, complete, enjoyable program for elementary grades. The series offers a stress-free introduction to science facts and principles, foundational for deeper study. The My Pals Are Here series is a comprehensive scientific study for grades 1-6.

Approved by my retired science teacher MiL

I actually purchased this curriculum for my preschool/ pre-ker. My MiL is a retired science teacher with 30 years of experience and she and I share the duties of doing science with my son. The teacher's guide is great, although it might be jarring for a parent that is unfamiliar with 5E lesson planning. Once you get beyond the overload of seeing so much on the page, it is fairly simple to follow though. This curriculum definitely requires a lot of parental involvement. The student book is simple, and each chapter only consists of a few pages with a few sentences, providing the overarching concepts for you to fill in with more information. The workbook is great too. Obviously, since I'm working on this with a not quite 4 year old, rather than a first grader, we rely on him dictating the answers to me. We've also found that we can pair a lot of these concepts with items that came in the Pre-K curriculum kit. I've found very logical pairings in the Berenstain Bears Science book, both My Very First Science and My Very First Body Book, Smart Start Stem Pre-K, and the Show Me Science Kit. Honestly, the ease of tying all these resources together is amazing.

Love This!!

We have looked for a really long time and tried so many different science curriculums for our little one. This one has been an excellent fit. The colorful pages and short information per page has been very child friendly. She loves how there are experiments, review questions, activities and real world connections sprinkled thru out all the chapters too. The activity book is in black and white and for our little one this has not been a problem but for some kids who prefer color images this could be an issue. The instruction manual is very open and go along with all the answers to questions in both the book and activity book. There is quite a bit of teacher prep needed ahead of time but the instruction manual lays it all out for you including the planning of scheduling etc. This has been priceless in our homeschool classroom. The real life science pictures in the text book are wonderful. Finally a science that has been fun and hands on while being educational and engaging. We would highly recommend this to others and plan to continue to use others levels. Thank you Timberdoodle for offering another great secular science choice.
