What to do with a class full of students? We hit the max over the lesson as some had to do make up. We took this opportunity to do a back to back recap of topics with our students. Armed with their Lower Block Investigative Task book, we got them ready to snip, cut, paste… Continue reading P6 Science / 23 Jan 2019 Wed / Recap

P5 Science / 23 Jan 2019 Wed / Acid Rain, Classification
What is acid rain and how does it affect our daily lives? This was something we discussed over lesson. How does acid get into the water cycle? We showed them how as well. It was always a pretty sight to catch their note jotting in action. We moved on to P3 work on Classification as… Continue reading P5 Science / 23 Jan 2019 Wed / Acid Rain, Classification
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
P3-4 Science / 17 Jan 2019 Thursday / Seeds & Light
One seed, many uses, in a way. We use seeds to teach across our levels. Science lessons are that versatile and fun! Whenever we hear any students telling their parents Science is boring before they come to us, we make it a mission to show them Science is FUN! With this in mind, we got… Continue reading P3-4 Science / 17 Jan 2019 Thursday / Seeds & Light
P5 Science / 9 Jan 2019 Wed / Water Cycles
Another round of water cycles, another round of observing how the Water Cycles work. We got our materials ready and it was always lovely to watch our students’ faces lit up when they hear “experiment”. From the simple hands on, our students are able to observe in details how the water cycle works, from evaporation… Continue reading P5 Science / 9 Jan 2019 Wed / Water Cycles
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
P5 Science / 16 Jan 2019 Wed / Water Cycles
Another round of water cycle experiment. We can never emphasize how important hands on are to learning Science concepts. Although the experiments are simple, the learning is not. Processes like evaporation and condensation for example, are still quite abstract for them to grasp. Hence, we always make it a point to recap important learning check… Continue reading P5 Science / 16 Jan 2019 Wed / Water Cycles
