Same for my p5 girls. Promised them to do a p4 activity on heat. They were so excited! As this was a special activity, there wasn’t any printed work. Instead, I challenged them to plan an experiment task sheet with the aims/materials/processes/observation. They gathered around after completing their planning and recited what they had written… Continue reading 2018 – P5 Science (March Hols) – heat, materials

2018 – Yeast Is Risen, again! (P6 sci)
Oh yeah, doing this activity again. Props are easily available from home and I’m better prepared. Instructed J to quickly pour the contents from the small cups into the 2 bottles of warm water. Ta-dah! All set and ready to be observed! This time round, I did not add too much yeast or it would… Continue reading 2018 – Yeast Is Risen, again! (P6 sci)
2018 – Blue Black! (P6 Science) – starch, iodine
Went through photosynthesis today and it was productive. J was fast in memorizing the steps of testing a leaf for starch and could produce quite an accurate explanation. Her ‘show & tell’, step by step explanation, as she called it. Hehe. Impressive, I would say. When J is focused in her work, she can really… Continue reading 2018 – Blue Black! (P6 Science) – starch, iodine
2018 – Starch Or Not?
Lesson is on! Managed to grab a bottle of iodine solution and E was excited to start the lesson. I made a few changes to the materials. Yippee! E highlighting what she needed to observe and record for the experiment. Dripping the same drops of iodine solution to ensure reliability and accuracy. Observing and recording… Continue reading 2018 – Starch Or Not?
2018 – Yeast Is Risen!
Managed to pull some materials found at home for this. Whew! I bake bread occasionally, but the yeast was expired. Hoping it still worked, which it did. Sugar and warm water. Checked. Bottles. Checked. Balloons. Checked. Timer. Checked. Ready to go! Warm water poured carefully via the funnel. Glad I got this useful tool. No… Continue reading 2018 – Yeast Is Risen!
2018 – ‘Energetic’ Energy!
Taught her on Energy Changes for a few lessons, and it’s time to present what she has learnt. A good recap of her concepts and she was able to present the energy changes and their effects. A hands on lesson on Energy Changes. A simple activity on tearing paper. She read the instructions in her… Continue reading 2018 – ‘Energetic’ Energy!
2018 – Energy, energy (p6)
Did a lesson on photosynthesis and respiration. Interesting to note that some students still have the understanding that when plants photosynthesize, they stop respiring. In p3, they were taught that plants give us oxygen when they make food, so they do not have the concept that they do need oxygen to survive. After clearing their… Continue reading 2018 – Energy, energy (p6)
Lessons With Tech (p5)
It’s worth the investment to get that flat screen up for my teaching. No, I did not buy on purpose, it’s a spare that I got it years back. I almost wanted to give that away. Glad I did not. We started straight on the topic that their school is teaching, and of course, one… Continue reading Lessons With Tech (p5)
Energy Changes Part 3
3rd time in this week to run through this topic. But I enjoyed it, as there is always a different interpretation and reflection angle for each student. Struggling to recall and memorize the energy changes in a moving paper aeroplane. Her video was just hilarious! But she got it and understood the energy conversion in… Continue reading Energy Changes Part 3
