Took me a few tries to get this beauty captured in its glory. We did cells for today’s lesson and after going through some main points, off they go for some experiment time! My instructions for them were to observe what they see and to draw accordingly. The students took turns to observe the specimens… Continue reading 2018 – Cells (p5 science)

2018 – Yeast Experiment Throwback
2018 – P5 Science (lungs activity)
Back to work after ca1. Did Respiratory Systems, lungs. Taught them what vocal cords are and how they link to the topic they are learning. Writing down their observations and reflection of the activity. Reflection is important because it tells me what a student has learnt so far and if the lesson is effective. They… Continue reading 2018 – P5 Science (lungs activity)
2018 – P6 Science – skeletal, diversity
It was the eve of Chinese New Year’s eve yesterday. It’s been proven my students had no mood for lessons, so I had to improvise. Lessons still went on for the week, but with added fun elements. Yesterday, I challenged the boys to complete as many Investigate Tasks as possible, and I put on the… Continue reading 2018 – P6 Science – skeletal, diversity
2018 – Primary 5 Science – skeletal
Full house for today’s lesson. My Wednesday girls attended today, in lieu of Chinese New Year celebration. Still quite spacious the room. Hee. Talked a bit to the girls too. Since all here, might as well repeat my expectations so they will keep up to my pace. Told them once I do revision for prior… Continue reading 2018 – Primary 5 Science – skeletal
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 – Paper Lungs & Writing (p5)
Festive season? Timely for a splash of red for today’s lesson. My intention wasn’t along that line till I looked back at the pictures. They looked like 2 big red ang baos. I asked A & R why their ‘Lungs’ were red paper. Their answer made sense. ‘Coz our blood is red!’ And their further… Continue reading 2018 – Paper Lungs & Writing (p5)
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?
