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

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
P3-4 Science / 3 Jan Thursday 2019 / Living & Non Living Things
Some parents ask if it is effective to have different levels in the same class. We say it is possible, but only for P3 and P4. We consider this as the Lower Block, and now schools have the free hand in deciding which topics to teach. For example, some schools teach Magnets in P3 and… Continue reading P3-4 Science / 3 Jan Thursday 2019 / Living & Non Living Things
P6 Science / 3 Jan Wednesday 2019 / Energy Changes
We love how we are able help students engage Science in a meaningful and fun way. We always tell our students that almost every thing in daily life is linked to Science. To prove this point, we got them to tear recycled paper. Yeap, you heard it right. Tearing and shredding sheets of paper are… Continue reading P6 Science / 3 Jan Wednesday 2019 / Energy Changes
P5 Science / 3 Jan Wednesday 2019 / Life Cycles
As our students were not able to let us know which topic their schools are teaching, we did a lesson on Life Cycles as a recap. We find that recapping topics in intervals help students remember their lessons better, and not rely on last minute mugging. We set up the materials for them, went through… Continue reading P5 Science / 3 Jan Wednesday 2019 / Life Cycles
P6 Science / 28 Dec Friday 2018 / Energy Changes
For our P6 class, we started with energy changes and with hands on activities to help them engage better in their learning. We started with one of the activities in our Investigating Tasks book and challenged the girls to see who is the sharp shooter of them all. They took up gladly, although they had… Continue reading P6 Science / 28 Dec Friday 2018 / Energy Changes
P5 Science / 26 Dec Wednesday 2018 / Water Cycles
This was a continuity from the previous lesson. The class did their homework observing the changes in the water cycle. After which, we tested them out by getting them to draw out the water cycle and fill in the processes. We always love to see their creative art work. Next, we got them to do… Continue reading P5 Science / 26 Dec Wednesday 2018 / Water Cycles
