Slovakia Fifth Grade Curriculum - Chemistry

Fifth grade in Slovakia is part of the second stage of primary education (ISCED Level 2), covering grades 5 to 9. Chemistry is one of the subjects taught within the broader "Natural Sciences" curriculum. Other subjects in this grade band include Slovak language and literature, history, two foreign languages, mathematics, geography, civics, technical education, physics, arts, ethics or religious education, music, and physical education/sports. A new state educational program has been approved and will be implemented in all primary schools from the 2026-27 school year. While specific details regarding the fifth-grade chemistry curriculum are not readily available, the Slovak Chemical Society plays a role in promoting chemistry education at various levels, including primary schools.
