Our P3/4 Science class doing an activity on insects, under Diversity. It was a form of recap for them and for us to gauge if they had recalled the characteristics of insects. We love their furry interpretations of pasting colourful pipe cleaners onto the insect templates and their mini comic sketches under CAP. We also… Continue reading P3/4 Science / 24 May 2019 Wednesday / Insects, States of Matter

P5 Science / 21 May Tues 2019 / Insects
It is good to recap and revisit previous topics. Through simple hands on activities, we are able to gauge how well a student is able to grasp what he/she has learnt previously. We love the interpretation of Z, who created a mini habitat with an ant, a grasshopper and a a worm (although this is… Continue reading P5 Science / 21 May Tues 2019 / Insects
P3-4 Science / 14 March 2019 Thursday / Seeds Dispersal
Post exam activity. Recapping on how different seeds disperse. We took out a sample of the different types of seeds to engage our students. We made it even more interesting by handling them magnifying glasses to observe the seeds in details. After which, they were to sketch and record down their findings. Do not under… Continue reading P3-4 Science / 14 March 2019 Thursday / Seeds Dispersal
P3-4 Science / 24 Jan 2019 Thursday / Materials
Materials, a p3 topic and it is a good refresher for the p4s and new learning for the p3. So it is a win-win situation. For our Science classes, our lesson deliveries are always peppered with current and previous topics, to jolt our students’ memories and test for understanding each time. Hence, for the lesson,… Continue reading P3-4 Science / 24 Jan 2019 Thursday / Materials
P5 Science / 23 Jan 2019 Wed / Acid Rain, Classification
What is acid rain and how does it affect our daily lives? This was something we discussed over lesson. How does acid get into the water cycle? We showed them how as well. It was always a pretty sight to catch their note jotting in action. We moved on to P3 work on Classification as… Continue reading P5 Science / 23 Jan 2019 Wed / Acid Rain, Classification
P3-4 Science / 17 Jan 2019 Thursday / Seeds & Light
One seed, many uses, in a way. We use seeds to teach across our levels. Science lessons are that versatile and fun! Whenever we hear any students telling their parents Science is boring before they come to us, we make it a mission to show them Science is FUN! With this in mind, we got… Continue reading P3-4 Science / 17 Jan 2019 Thursday / Seeds & Light
P6 Science / 16 Jan 2019 Wed / Respiration & Photosynthesis
When one of our P6 girls entered the class, we went “whoa!!!!” when we saw her seed bean. It was beautifully grown! Hers was the most successful among the rest, including ours. We had to throw our rotten seed bean away. Who says Science teachers have green fingers? Heh… The shoot that sprouted and the… Continue reading P6 Science / 16 Jan 2019 Wed / Respiration & Photosynthesis
P3-4 Science / 3 Jan Thursday 2019 / Living & Non Living Things
Some parents ask if it is effective to have different levels in the same class. We say it is possible, but only for P3 and P4. We consider this as the Lower Block, and now schools have the free hand in deciding which topics to teach. For example, some schools teach Magnets in P3 and… Continue reading P3-4 Science / 3 Jan Thursday 2019 / Living & Non Living Things
Class 3 / 11 Dec 2018 Tuesday / Materials
Class 3 – Science Dec Prog 2018 Learning Science does not need to be difficult at all! With just a few simple and suitable learning tools, many of our students are more confident to tackle the dreaded process skills questions. In this short video, we explored a P3 topic on Materials. Using different materials to… Continue reading Class 3 / 11 Dec 2018 Tuesday / Materials
