Cycles – States Of Matter We love to curate experiments that took up our students’ time, not to waste it, but to teach them to be engaged effectively in a new dimension. Textbook learning is here to stay, and we do encourage our students to read and learn from notes. However, the missing link to… Continue reading Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programme – Science (Oobleck)

Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programme – Science (Candle Cone)
Cycles – States Of Matter The experiment tagged to the lesson was fast and furious, and our students could not get enough fun out of it. We repeated the experiment several times, and they still could not get enough of it. We had to spoil their fun and promised another run sometime later over their… Continue reading Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programme – Science (Candle Cone)
Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programe – Science (Sound)
Cycles – States Of Matter Sound is not a matter, and we aim to use this lesson to teach all about sound waves. We explored why sound is not a matter, and how important is sound in our daily lives. The experiment was the part our students enjoyed – an old school way of speaking… Continue reading Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programe – Science (Sound)
Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programme – Science (Skeletons & Muscles)
Systems – Muscular & Skeletal These both systems play a crucial part in ensuring our bodies do not give way – halfway. Each system is equally important and that was what our students got to explore for that day. We supplemented with notes and hands on engagement for them to think, link and make the… Continue reading Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programme – Science (Skeletons & Muscles)
Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programme – Science (Magnets)
Interactions – Magnets Magnets are used in our daily lives, and we are very dependent on magnets in terms of technology. Magnets come in different shapes and sizes, and we have the opportunity to showcase the diversity of the magnets. We also challenge them to think does size matters when it comes to the strength… Continue reading Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programme – Science (Magnets)
Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programme – Science (Growing Seeds)
Diversity – Plants Cycles – Life Cycle (Plant) Systems – Plant Reproduction One experiment, multiple topics to learn from. A simple act of growing seeds, one can expect to learn about plant diversity, plant life cycle and plant reproduction. However, this is limited to the our P5-P6 students, as they would have already learnt the… Continue reading Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programme – Science (Growing Seeds)
Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programme – Science (Solar Windmill)
Energy – Energy Changes Blow wind blow! Children learn best when they are able to connect what they have seen to what they will learn. The missing link is the engagement. Once our students observed the power of how energy can be transferred from one form to another, they are “blown away”. Check out the… Continue reading Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programme – Science (Solar Windmill)
Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programme – Science (Electricity)
Systems – Electricity It was an eureka moment for our students when they witnessed how cool electricity could be! They scrambled to lay hands on the globe to create electrical waves. We allowed them to tinker around some more before moving to the lesson proper. We believe in getting our students engaged in activities before… Continue reading Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programme – Science (Electricity)
Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programme – Science (Digestive System)
Systems – Digestive System Burrp! We got our students to taste some mouth watering snacks as we touched on the Digestive System. Learning Science is hands on, where we encourage students to explore learning using their five senses. They touched the snacks, opened the snacks, smelt the snacks, tasted the snacks and swallowed them all!… Continue reading Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programme – Science (Digestive System)
