Science Centre Outing

By
It was 28 September when I announced that it's public holiday next week and there is no class! To my surprise, my class actually responded with "HUH~~~ no class? Why no class?" "At home very boring". Actually I was surprised and amazed by the class response and because of their enthusiam, I decided to make it an outing day! YAYS!!! To the science centre!

I was so happy about the response of my kids wanting class on a public holiday as it proves that ISUN kids JUST LOVE LESSONS & they enjoy learning in class :) You can consider this as post Children's Day celebration as well :)

A sincere appreciation to the kids and parents who specially shifted some of the lessons for their child to join me in this outing!

While waiting for the others......

Selfie time! All arrived on time, before 10am. I can totally feel and excitement and was also super excited about going to the Human Body Exhibition and the other areas of science centre! 
Group photo! LOVELY A* class :) 



Get ready to get swallowed alive! 


After we slide down the gullet, we entered the lungs area. Look at the ribcage at the side of the walls! Our ribcage protects the important organ, lungs. 


This is the favourite segment of the kids! They had to squeeze through the intestine! 


In the heart area where their heart rate increase as they jump around, bouncing and hugging the ball. Why does our heart beat faster when we exercise? 



Coming out from the 'Anus'. Hee Hee 

I would say that the general experience was really FUN. They learn a lot more through the experience than in the classroom. Thanks to science centre, I am able to use this chance to reinforce the concepts on human body they learnt in class. 


A trip to the eco garden. This is the least explored area when students goes to the science centre with the school and with their parents. There are lots to learn about the diversity of plants. In the background is the cactus. There are special adaptation of cactus that allow it to survive in the desert.


The huge tree behind has special roots dangling down from the tree. It's known as prop roots to allow the tree to have more support.





Guys being guys... :) Can play anywhere anytime







I am thankful to be able to spend my public holiday with my class. Simply love this class! Love the awesome attitude towards learning and even while we are having fun, they didn't forget that we were at the science centre for SERIOUS FUN and hence they learnt a lot from there. 
Oh yes! There's a special guest, my student's P1 brother. Glad to ignite his love for science, though he is not taking science science. His cutest response when I replied that ISUN only take in P4 kids was: "Huh i need to wait 3 more years". Wish that I have more coaches onboard to impact more kids! :)

Answers to PSLE Questions

Why do I write suggested solutions to Red Swastika 2018 SA1 Paper? - My students found it useful and requested for more!  - The parents who used it to help their child have found it useful!  That's why despite using 4 hours just to write ONE SET of the suggested solutions (Section B only) and doing the miscellaneous admin such as scanning, downloading documents, writing email to send out to our ISUN warriors, I do it.  Hope that all these will contribute to their learning :)  From the paper, there are quite a couple of questions from the PSLE Booklet: You can download the Red Swastika 2018 Paper here!  Red Swastika 2018 Q 30 Reproduction of Plants PSLE 2018 Q15 TEST IT OUT!  PSLE 2018 Q15 ANSWER  Red Swastika 2018 Q33 Adaptations PSLE 2013/ Specimen Paper Adaptions TEST IT OUT!  PSLE 2013/ Specimen Paper Adaptions ANSWERS Refer to other posts to learn more!

Respiration and Photosynthesis

By
Respiration and Photosynthesis With air quality going downhill, there may be chances that we need to carry plants around as our oxygen tank.  The working mechanism is based on 2 simple concepts of Primary 5 Science, Respiration and Photosynthesis.  As seen from the picture, the man is wearing a mask connected to the plant. As the man respires, it gives out carbon dioxide.  The carbon dioxide, together with water and light, the green plant with cholorphyll photosynthesises and produces oxygen for the man to respire and survive.   A summary of the both respiration and photosynthesis processes are below: Respiration Respiration is the breaking down of digested food with oxygen to produce energy. The equation of Respiration Sugar (from digested food) +  Oxygen (from inhaled air)   รจ  ENERGY (for body to use) +  Carbon Dioxide (to exhaled air) + Water Vapour (to exhaled air)  *NOTE* All living things respire including plants. Respiration takes place ALL the

Amazing Animals' Adaptations 2: The Light of Death

By
From the land, let's move on to the pitch dark sea. In the dark, many water creatures seek out for the light. However, unbeknown to them, they are courting their own death. Let's take a closer look at this deep sea angler fish. You may find it familiar as you may have seen from the movie, Finding Nemo. Anglerfish Adaptations: Light-emitting structure - Structural adaptation to attract prey so as to catch it Waving light-emitting structure - Behavioural adaptation to attract prey so as to catch it Many sharp jagged-teeth that are angled inwards - Structural adaptation to catch hold of prey easily and preventing them from escaping   ¹   Extended jawline - Structural adaptation to swallow prey easily Expandable Stomach - Structural adaptation to feed on prey bigger than itself and stock up food in the food-scare dark waters  ¹ Special sense organ  - Structural adaptation to look for mate and reproduce Male anglerfish attach himself to female anglerfish: Behavi
