Every Science topic has a story to tell, and we love telling stories, especially in the form of visuals and hands on. For our P3-4 class today, we covered Heat & Temperature. We actually taught that before over the first half of the year, but we will always recap and revise the concepts to our… Continue reading P3-4 Science / 18 July 2019 / Thursday / Heat & Energy

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
P3-4 Science / 11 July 2019 / Thursday / Periscope
Light and reflection. We explored how light reflects off shiny surfaces, especially on mirrors. We did an experiment on making a simple DIY periscope. By getting our students engaged using manipulatives, they are learning to apply what they have learnt from pen and paper to working with their hands. LIKE: https://www.facebook.com/sowingseedz/
P6 Science / 10 July 2019 / Wednesday / Oily Feathers
Man & The Environment. What Man has done to improve lives, has also caused destruction inadvertently. For the last lesson topic for our P6, we explored how oil spills affect the lives of living things, in particular, birds. Our P6s took turns to touch a clean feather, poured oil into the basin to demonstrate an… Continue reading P6 Science / 10 July 2019 / Wednesday / Oily Feathers
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
P345 Science / 11 June 2019 / Tuesday / Slime Time
Slime – always the highlight of any holiday programmes. Our students were given the space to mix, knead and create their very own slime, with a few child-friendly ingredients. Being children, they are naturally curious and became super attentive when their first batch of slime was successful. Granted, they did not dare to get their… Continue reading P345 Science / 11 June 2019 / Tuesday / Slime Time
P6 Science / 14 June 2019 Friday / Leaf Rubbing
We promised our P6 classes to clear the experiments in their Investigative Tasks as much as possible over the June holidays. Trust is important to build relationships and rapport among our students. So as much as we want to cover intensively as we could, we tweaked our lessons around. Experiments and work at the same… Continue reading P6 Science / 14 June 2019 Friday / Leaf Rubbing
