For this batch of S3s, they are the first batch of girls who did the new lower sec syllabus - S3s are very tight on time to complete the syllabus. If we add in more stuff, something must go - anything we can take out?]]> 2023-09-08 02:07:06 UTC https://padlet.com/thereseho1/6nuw3g6rl5kd0wpd/wish/2689764696 Strength jasminelau4 https://padlet.com/thereseho1/6nuw3g6rl5kd0wpd/wish/2689766738 Activate students' thinking.

- Gives an example of how different topics can be tied together in thematic approach
- Can explore to further and have a interdisciplinary / problem-based approach

]]> 2023-09-08 02:10:02 UTC https://padlet.com/thereseho1/6nuw3g6rl5kd0wpd/wish/2689769185 Intentional design to develop the identified 6Cs valarie_koh4_1 https://padlet.com/thereseho1/6nuw3g6rl5kd0wpd/wish/2689788997 It is great that team has identified specific lifelong global competencies through learning the DI of Models. It will be great to hear more how these were intentionally considered in the lesson design conceptualisation so students are learning and developing in these, .e.g. how did the design help students to learn to wok inter-dependently through science?  The 4Es are then used to enable the development of these identified competencies alongside science learning goals. 

This will also enable student and teacher to, over time, assess how they have developed and deepened these competencies.

- to use Sec 2 Textbook 2B pg 16 and 17 to introduce electric circuit in Sec 3 or 4.
- show the relationship between resistance and current

- calculation of current and voltage (in both series and parallel)
- no calculation of resistance (only qualitative)]]> 2023-09-08 05:39:09 UTC https://padlet.com/thereseho1/6nuw3g6rl5kd0wpd/wish/2690091340 Physics - Mass, Weight, Density https://padlet.com/thereseho1/6nuw3g6rl5kd0wpd/wish/2690102862 - Comprehensive coverage in LSS

Just for Information (Update 14Sep):

Many independent schools such as ACS(I), NJC, SJI, are teaching way much more at their lower sec science, for both IP and O-Level track, with topics such as:

  • Entire Atomic Structure
  • Entire Bonding, including Ionic and Covalent Bonding
  • Entire Periodic Table and Periodic Trends
