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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

Systems – Cells What a better way to learn about cells, using a microscope! We love to source for interesting specimen slides to show to our students, that learning about cells is not just limited to onion cells and cheek cells. Therefore, besides still teaching in accordance to the MOE syllabus, we go beyond to… Continue reading Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programme – Science (Cells)

Systems – Respiratory System We have been using the humble rubber to make our point across to our students whenever we touch on the Respiratory System. Thankfully, we did that before the Covid19 and our students enjoyed inflating and then releasing their balloons, just for the fun of it. They also had a blast competing… Continue reading Nov-Dec 2019 Holiday Programme – Science (Blowing Balloons)
