Every Science topic has a story to tell, and we love telling stories, especially in the form of visuals and hands on. For our P3-4 class today, we covered Heat & Temperature. We actually taught that before over the first half of the year, but we will always recap and revise the concepts to our… Continue reading P3-4 Science / 18 July 2019 / Thursday / Heat & Energy

P3-4 Science / 11 July 2019 / Thursday / Periscope
Light and reflection. We explored how light reflects off shiny surfaces, especially on mirrors. We did an experiment on making a simple DIY periscope. By getting our students engaged using manipulatives, they are learning to apply what they have learnt from pen and paper to working with their hands. LIKE: https://www.facebook.com/sowingseedz/
P3,4,5 Science / 10 June 2019 Monday / Crayons, Electricity
We are not going to paint a rosy picture of our students enjoying our lessons all the time. For the experiment on upcycling crayons, which the students were supposed to observe the melting of used crayons to be transformed into new ones. The process – melting of the crayons got them to pinch their noses.… Continue reading P3,4,5 Science / 10 June 2019 Monday / Crayons, Electricity
P6 Science / 7 June 2019 Friday / Experiments b2b
Yeap, we allowed our P6 to have their medley of experiments when they requested, but we covered the important and necessary topics before the fun. It was also a full house for our P6 boys and girls. Each time there is a holiday, we merge the genders together for some interaction. There were a total… Continue reading P6 Science / 7 June 2019 Friday / Experiments b2b
P3,4,5 Science / 3 June 2019 / Jumping Dolls & Ooobleck
Full house. This was the maximum capacity that we can have. Again, we have a mixture of our P3,4 and 5 students all coming together to learn and grow. Through a simple game like challenging them to shoot their bouncing dolls into a container, we teach them Energy Changes. We do acknowledge that they will… Continue reading P3,4,5 Science / 3 June 2019 / Jumping Dolls & Ooobleck
P3-4 Science / 30 May 2019 Thursday / Heat & Temp
Same same but different. We have been teaching Heat & Temperature for the whole week and one may ask if we are tired of doing that. It is a resounding NO. How can it be when although the same topics/key words/lesson concepts and so on are taught, the reactions and responses from our students from… Continue reading P3-4 Science / 30 May 2019 Thursday / Heat & Temp
P6 Science / 29 May 2019 Wednesday / Heat & Temp, Paper Lungs
It was our P6s turn to recap all the previous topics, which we were glad to, as they had somewhat forgotten the liquid in the thermometer, how an impurity is able to affect the melting point and the boiling point of water. We added on a part where we showed the evaporation of “salt” water,… Continue reading P6 Science / 29 May 2019 Wednesday / Heat & Temp, Paper Lungs
P5 Science / 28 May 2019 Tuesday / Heat & Temperature
Teaching our students how to measure temperatures off a thermometer and how to prevent parallax error is important. With this, we took a memory lane down to P4 topic, Heat & Temperature. Our main character is our humble salt. We want to prove that salt is an impurity and is able to change the melting/freezing… Continue reading P5 Science / 28 May 2019 Tuesday / Heat & Temperature
P6 Science / 22 May 2019 Wed / Light
We owed our girls this Sun Catcher experiment before the exam skills and drills. It was long overdue and the girls cheered when we pulled out the materials needed for the experiment. Life as a student is really stressful, and a much needed break from the exams, although briefly, can be a respite for them.… Continue reading P6 Science / 22 May 2019 Wed / Light
