We are not going to paint a rosy picture of our students enjoying our lessons all the time. For the experiment on upcycling crayons, which the students were supposed to observe the melting of used crayons to be transformed into new ones. The process – melting of the crayons got them to pinch their noses.… Continue reading P3,4,5 Science / 10 June 2019 Monday / Crayons, Electricity

P6 Science / 7 June 2019 Friday / Experiments b2b
Yeap, we allowed our P6 to have their medley of experiments when they requested, but we covered the important and necessary topics before the fun. It was also a full house for our P6 boys and girls. Each time there is a holiday, we merge the genders together for some interaction. There were a total… Continue reading P6 Science / 7 June 2019 Friday / Experiments b2b
P3,4,5,6 Science / 6 June 2019 Thursday / Celery Stalks & Magnets
We planned another round of experiments for our combined Science classes to observe the plant transport system and how magnets attract magnetic materials. Using the stalks of the humble and healthy vegetables, we explained how plants are able to transport water from the stems to the other plant parts. Check out the coloured parts on… Continue reading P3,4,5,6 Science / 6 June 2019 Thursday / Celery Stalks & Magnets
P3,4,5 Science / 3 June 2019 / Jumping Dolls & Ooobleck
Full house. This was the maximum capacity that we can have. Again, we have a mixture of our P3,4 and 5 students all coming together to learn and grow. Through a simple game like challenging them to shoot their bouncing dolls into a container, we teach them Energy Changes. We do acknowledge that they will… Continue reading P3,4,5 Science / 3 June 2019 / Jumping Dolls & Ooobleck
P6 Science / 31 May 2019 Friday /Starch & Iodine
A suitable experiment to show how certain foods contain starch is via the iodine solution test. We grabbed what we had, added in the different food groups and went ahead to show our boys. However, we questioned the class that the experiment was not a fair test, and asked them how to make changes to… Continue reading P6 Science / 31 May 2019 Friday /Starch & Iodine
P6 Science / 29 May 2019 Wednesday / Heat & Temp, Paper Lungs
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
P5 Science / 29 May 2019 / Heat & Temperature
The whole week was getting our students to observe how ice gained and lost heat, the changes to the melting point/boiling point when salt was added, and how the boiling point was changed when an impurity was added. Not forgetting how to read the thermometer without parallax error. LIKE: https://www.facebook.com/sowingseedz/
P5 Science / 28 May 2019 Tuesday / Heat & Temperature
Teaching our students how to measure temperatures off a thermometer and how to prevent parallax error is important. With this, we took a memory lane down to P4 topic, Heat & Temperature. Our main character is our humble salt. We want to prove that salt is an impurity and is able to change the melting/freezing… Continue reading P5 Science / 28 May 2019 Tuesday / Heat & Temperature
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
