We covered 2 topics for the day’s lesson – Heat Energy and Skeletal System. We are willing to go the distance to set up experiment equipment for our classes to have a real hands on feel on the topics learnt in schools. After undergoing some key concepts on heat, we used a similar experiment done… Continue reading P3-P4 Science/5 July 2018/Thursday – heat & skeletal

How to use shadows to teach Light Energy: Find a plain flat surface as a screen Use a smart phone portable stand Clip and secure the smart phone on the stand Switch on the flashlight option (download the app if smart phone does not have flashlight inbuilt) Adjust the size of the light shone Cut… Continue reading Light & Shadows
P4 Science/28 June 2018/Thursday heat & temp
This P4 class got “heated” up with our hands on activities. Both schools are currently on the topic of Heat, and what good way to have some “heat” in the class. The weather was cooling too! 1st experiment. The class was taught how to read markings off a thermometer, taking note of avoiding parallax error… Continue reading P4 Science/28 June 2018/Thursday heat & temp
2018/P5-P6 Science June Prog Day 2 Part 2 (Girls) – celery, darts
Day 2 is always packed with more activities as the class is used to the momentum, as with the same case with all our programmes. The last few activities were so fun, they wanted to stay longer than the allocated time. Glad they enjoyed! We revisited the Celery Experiment done the day before and got… Continue reading 2018/P5-P6 Science June Prog Day 2 Part 2 (Girls) – celery, darts
2018/P5-P6 Science June Prog Day 2 Part 1 (Girls) – light, reproduction
The girls were ready to prepare their shadow puppet shows but boy, when they got together, it was like a marketplace! We had to set rules that discussion was only limited to their lesson, otherwise, there would be no end! The girls finally settled down and kept their discussion to what we wanted. Like the… Continue reading 2018/P5-P6 Science June Prog Day 2 Part 1 (Girls) – light, reproduction
P5/P6 Science June Prog 2018 Day 2 Part 2 – yeast, celery, aeroplane, darts
The 4th experiment was impromptu. They requested to do the yeast experiment and it was not planned in our materials. Well, since we have ready materials, why not? Learn on the go! One of our Sowing Seedz motto. We quickly prepared the materials and set them up. This had to be done on the spot… Continue reading P5/P6 Science June Prog 2018 Day 2 Part 2 – yeast, celery, aeroplane, darts
P5/P6 Science June Prog 2018 Day 2 Part 1 – shadows, pollination
Even during the English lesson, the boys could not wait to do the Shadow Puppet Show. We had to plan something to distract them, hence the personality test to keep them on task. The moment finally arrived, and they grabbed their puppets to get ready. The boys fitted in their roles seamlessly and helped to… Continue reading P5/P6 Science June Prog 2018 Day 2 Part 1 – shadows, pollination
P5/P6 Science June Prog 2018 Day 1 – celery, oobleck, puppet play
The pace for Science for the Upper Level was faster as it was a recap of past topics learnt. Lesson resumed after more snacking for the boys. We were glad to feed the hungry souls. We introduced one of our teaching methods from our book, DICES. We grouped the Science topics from P3-P6 into Diversity,… Continue reading P5/P6 Science June Prog 2018 Day 1 – celery, oobleck, puppet play
2018 – P3/P4 Science June Prog 2018 Day 3 Part 2 – oobleck, puppet play
Moving on from the first experiment, we did the last activity before we dismissed the class. We showed them a short clip on Oobleck, a non newtonian fluid, a mix between a solid and a liquid. They watched 2 videos on how Oobleck is used and they could not wait to try out the experiment… Continue reading 2018 – P3/P4 Science June Prog 2018 Day 3 Part 2 – oobleck, puppet play
