The Slovak education system mandates education from ages 6 to 15. Primary school encompasses the first four years of this period. The science curriculum for Grades 1 to 4 aligns with the State Educational Program (ŠVP) for Nature and Society, encompassing topics in Natural Sciences. Specific details about the 4th-grade Natural Sciences curriculum are not readily available, but the curriculum likely includes elements of biology, chemistry, physics, and geography, as these subjects are mentioned in the context of primary and lower secondary education in Slovakia. A curriculum reform was implemented in Slovakia, with changes beginning in September 2023.
