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

P6 Science / 24 May 2019 Fri / Lungs, Food Web
It is pretty amusing to have a class of different gender. Last year, we also had 2 P6 classes, one for the ladies, the other for the gents. For the lesson, we had 2 activities lined up for our boys, and expected, they were really boisterous, in a positive manner. We got them to blow… Continue reading P6 Science / 24 May 2019 Fri / Lungs, Food Web
P5 Science / 26 March 2019 Tuesday / Circulatory System
Circulatory System – one of the toughest topics to master, and one of the dreaded to learn, a bane for our students, past and present. The heart is complicated to understand and we try our best to improvise our lessons to engage our students to learn better. The hands on took up the most time,… Continue reading P5 Science / 26 March 2019 Tuesday / Circulatory System
P5 Science / 13 March 2019 Wed / Circulatory System
Not for the faint hearted. We introduced the Circulatory System lesson with a “heart” model. We were expecting to hear “ewss” but we heard “wow”. This shows they are keen to know more! This topic is one of the hardest and we cannot definitely be covering all within a day. We highlighted the important concepts… Continue reading P5 Science / 13 March 2019 Wed / Circulatory System
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
P5 Science / 12 Feb 2019 Tuesday /Plant Reproduction
New topic after the Chinese New Year break. We moved on to Plant Reproduction, a topic that is relatively easy to understand, but need proper lesson notes to allow our students to understand the concepts. We went slow and gave alot of notes for them to jot down, followed by a simple investigative task work.… Continue reading P5 Science / 12 Feb 2019 Tuesday /Plant Reproduction
P5 Science / 29 Jan 2019 Tuesday / Cell Division
We covered cell division over the lesson. As easy as it seems, our students thought the hands on was easy by just drawing lines and circles. But as they filled the spaces, they giggled and realized cell division was not as easy as it seemed! As they were busy splitting the cells, we orally recapped… Continue reading P5 Science / 29 Jan 2019 Tuesday / Cell Division
P5 Science / 22 Jan 2019 Tuesday / Cells
Cells. A tough topic with needing lots of visuals to teach the message across. For this topic, we like to use our trusty microscope to do the “talking”. As the saying goes, “A picture paints a thousand words”. With this, we let the specimen slides do the “teaching”. Touching on important notes on the topic… Continue reading P5 Science / 22 Jan 2019 Tuesday / Cells
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
