Humans need affirmation and it’s really nice to receive positive comments from others. Not to fluff thy ego, but I see it as a motivation to do my best to help my students.

Kaleidoscope Fun
Quick recap on Light. My girl had fun looking through the different kaleidoscopes that I got. Experiential learning.
Taking Initiative
Quite touched when she showed me her news articles work. I did not give her any homework on this and she took the initiative to do. It shows me one thing. When a child is motivated, that child will take ownership of his/her learning, thus the pleasant outcome. And she is not the kind to… Continue reading Taking Initiative
States of Matter
Love to do this experiment. Each time I whip out the cup, it never fails to amaze my students. This simple experiment teaches heat gain and heat loss. The colour coded cup makes it easier for students to link the concepts together too. To them, it’s like magic. To me, well, it’s Science. weSetting up… Continue reading States of Matter
Writing Is Not Daunting…
I love to tell my students how easy writing is. To prove my point, I sat down and guided my girl through as I made her redo. Initially, it was hard but with time, and within one lesson, she got it and she managed to write a decent piece. Hope that will last till through… Continue reading Writing Is Not Daunting…

It’s a good tool to teach heat gain and heat loss. What they see, they are able to connect what they learn in real life. Water… Continue reading States of Matter
Life Cycles
Ewwwww… my students will crink their noses but they are excited to observe the specimens that lay within. Life cycles, in a fun way. I love hands on and making Science ‘alive’! Great tools to do recaping, in a non routine way.
Time and Tide
I like June holidays, where I am able to use the extra time to guide my students. In this lesson, I needed to start his engine for Science, mainly to time him for highlighting key words in questions. Time management is important for students, so they are able to complete their paper within the time… Continue reading Time and Tide
June Holiday Fun
I love my p5 boy’s masterpieces again. He never fails to amaze me with his creativity in designing his experiment logs. I love how he creates his work, he loves how I’m able to weave the topics into the Science hands on kits. Good ‘partnership’!
