Our Learning Framework
At Magic of Science, we believe meaningful learning goes beyond acquiring knowledge. Our proprietary M.E.T.A.L.S.™ Learning Framework brings Mathematics, Engineering, Technology, Arts, Linguistics and Science together to nurture different aspects of children's development.
Each discipline contributes a unique set of skills, creating interconnected learning experiences that encourage children to think, explore, communicate and create.
Six Disciplines. Endless Possibilities.
Reason & Evaluate
Developmental focus: Logical Thinking & Reasoning
Mathematics encourages children to recognise patterns, identify connections and think logically. Through sorting, sequencing, comparing and problem-solving activities, children learn to reason, analyse and evaluate information.
Key skills
Design & Solve
Developmental focus: Problem-Solving & Design Thinking
Engineering encourages children to turn ideas into practical solutions. Through designing, building, testing and improving their creations, children learn to approach challenges creatively, adapt their thinking and discover that problems can have more than one solution.
Key skills
Manipulate & Operate
Developmental focus: Perceptual-Motor Development
Technology provides opportunities for children to interact with tools, mechanisms and simple devices. Through hands-on manipulation and exploration, children develop hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, motor planning and confidence in operating different tools and components.
Key skills
Imagine & Create
Developmental focus: Creative Expression
Arts encourages children to express their ideas through imagination, design and creative exploration. Through crafts, model-making and other creative activities, children develop their ability to visualise possibilities, experiment with ideas and express themselves in different ways.
Key skills
Communicate & Connect
Developmental focus: Communication & Social Development
Linguistics encourages children to put their thoughts into words, listen to others and communicate their discoveries. Through storytelling, discussions and guided conversations, children develop their vocabulary, confidence and ability to express and exchange ideas.
Key skills
Observe & Infer
Developmental focus: Sensory Exploration & Scientific Thinking
Science encourages children to explore the world through their senses, make observations and ask questions. Through experiments and investigations, children learn to identify patterns, make predictions and draw conclusions from what they discover.
Key skills
Our Learning Process
Learning is not simply about receiving information. It is an active process of observing, communicating, reasoning, designing, creating and expressing ideas.
Our Connected Learning Cycle brings these processes together, encouraging children to explore the world around them, develop their thinking and communicate what they discover.
Swipe to see all six stages
Look Closely. Discover More.
Children explore their surroundings, notice details and gather information through their senses.
Ask Questions. Share Ideas.
Children describe their observations, ask questions and exchange thoughts with others.
Think. Connect. Understand.
Children identify patterns, make connections and use logical thinking to understand what they discover.
Imagine. Plan. Solve.
Children explore possibilities, develop ideas and plan ways to approach challenges.
Build. Test. Improve.
Children bring their ideas to life through hands-on activities, experimenting and making adjustments along the way.
Reflect. Explain. Share.
Children communicate their discoveries, explain their thinking and express what they have learnt.
These processes are interconnected rather than rigid steps. Children may revisit different stages as they explore, experiment and develop their understanding.
Holistic Development
At Magic of Science, scientific exploration is the starting point for something greater.
By connecting six developmental pathways through meaningful learning experiences, we encourage children to observe carefully, think independently, communicate confidently, approach challenges creatively and discover solutions through experimentation.
Our goal is not simply to teach children what to think, but to nurture the skills and confidence that help them explore, question and learn throughout their lives.
