Before touching on Plant Transport System for our P5 classes, we always like to teach them on the importance of seed dispersal, how seeds germinate and how they grow. These are the basic fundamentals to understand how plants transport food, water and minerals. Learning should not and never must be rushed, just like sowing seeds.… Continue reading P5 Science / 23 July 2019 / Tuesday / Seed Dispersal

P5 Science / 17 July 2019 / Wednesday / Electricity
Our second P5 class also had the chance to tinker around with the electricity materials that we had laid out for them. We expanded into learning conductors and insulators, which our boys were excited to search for materials to test out the conductivity level. They predicted, tested, observed and recorded. Slightly different learning outcome from… Continue reading P5 Science / 17 July 2019 / Wednesday / Electricity
P5 Science / 16 July 2019 / Wednesday / Electricity
Although our students were quite tired from their school activities, they would not say no to experiments. We find that plugging the gap which most schools are unable to provide, ie more hands on experiments for their students, strikes a decent balance in our students’ lives. Our P5s explored electricity once again, with some levels… Continue reading P5 Science / 16 July 2019 / Wednesday / Electricity
P5 Science / 10 July 2019 / Wednesday / Simple Circuit
Our second P5 class also saw themselves learning Electricity. We love to see that our students’ reactions with the same learning tools. They always give us surprises and react differently too. This class is more inquisitive, and really took the opportunity to ask, ask, ask! LIKE: https://www.facebook.com/sowingseedz/
P5 Science / 9 July 2019 / Tuesday / Simple Circuit
Our students’ schools seem to be slow to teach any new topics yet, so we take it upon ourselves to decide the topic to teach for the week. Simple circuit. We covered some notes on Electricity and got right on to getting our P5s to form a complete closed circuit. We recapped some important notes… Continue reading P5 Science / 9 July 2019 / Tuesday / Simple Circuit
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
P3,4,5,6 Science / 6 June 2019 Thursday / Celery Stalks & Magnets
We planned another round of experiments for our combined Science classes to observe the plant transport system and how magnets attract magnetic materials. Using the stalks of the humble and healthy vegetables, we explained how plants are able to transport water from the stems to the other plant parts. Check out the coloured parts on… Continue reading P3,4,5,6 Science / 6 June 2019 Thursday / Celery Stalks & Magnets
P6 Science / 31 May 2019 Friday /Starch & Iodine
A suitable experiment to show how certain foods contain starch is via the iodine solution test. We grabbed what we had, added in the different food groups and went ahead to show our boys. However, we questioned the class that the experiment was not a fair test, and asked them how to make changes to… Continue reading P6 Science / 31 May 2019 Friday /Starch & Iodine
