Energy: Law of Conservation

Do you have difficulty with energy? Below is a video of a VERY COMMON EXAM QUESTION. Learn it well!


Energy Video Learning points:

  1. Energy cannot be destroyed
  2. Energy can only be converted (to a different form) or transferred (from one thing to another thing that possessed the same form of energy)
    Energy Conversion
  3. Kinetic energy is affected by speed and mass
    The faster the object travels, the more kinetic energy it has
    The heavier the object travels, the more kinetic energy it has
  4. Gravitational potential energy is affected by height and mass
    The higher the object is, the more gravitational potential energy it has
    The heavier the object is, the more gravitational potential energy it has
  5. Kinetic energy is usually the opposite of gravitational potential energy.

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

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 includ...

Last Minute PSLE Help!!

Today is my brother’s birthday!  J But that is not the main point. It’s because when I look at my calendar, there are 2 main events marked:  20 July 18  (69 days left to PSLE)  & my brother’s birthday. We are all running short of time. But what is it that can change your child’s results at this point in time?  From the conversations we had with our past parents who looked for last minute help, these are what they have done.  3 things parents have done for their child:  1. More tuition?  -        It still works, at this point if your child is also urgent and still want their results to change  -        “The past will never determine the future”, so it is still possible -        Nevertheless, you need to be careful on how your time is spent. It should be with someone with proven strategies & track ...
