I find them fascinating and I highly encourage you to check it out, now that we are at the Chinese civilisation topic for Social Studies. What's more, it's free (for Singaporeans)!

My personal favourite is the Chinese Ceramics exhibition; the intricacy of the design and the beautiful colour have me captivated. Do share with me your favourite exhibition too once you have checked them out! (:

Be creative in your props used!

Standardise the colour of your attire so the audience can better differentiate the various roles. Use labels, don't be shy. I mean, who can forget the "MPs" seen at the NE show? (:

We shall have our first dry run as a class next Monday! Do come with your props.
We do not need to change into anything yet for rehearsals, so you have near 2 weeks to borrow a top etc. DON'T FRET (:

I can't wait to see what you guys will come up with; props wise and your acting! (:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dispersal

Dear children,

 

Let's recap what we have learnt earlier on in class:

• What is dispersal?
• Can you recall the 4 types of dispersal methods?
• Features / characteristics of the seeds
• Why the need for dispersal?

Individual / Group Mini Project for Reproduction in Plants (OPTIONAL)

Have you ever noticed seeds on the ground? If not, time to keep your eyes peeled! Time to take a walk around your estate, to the park, beach, etc.

Pick up seeds that have various dispersal method. Do remember to wash and dry the seeds thoroughly (Remember our learning point in our Cells AA project? Groups who used seeds as chloroplasts had theirs germinated in slime, HAHA!). You may want to keep the seeds in ziploc bags and display (labelled) in a chart or any way you prefer.

Some food for thought:

• Can a seed disperse in more than 1 way (i.e. other methods of dispersal)? For example, if a sweet smelling seed can float, does it mean it will be dispersed by water? 

I highly encourage all of you to try taking on this mini project, as this serves as a good exposure to traits of scientists, i.e. collecting and classifying data. 

This is something different from the  Electricity Project you have done, which is more of an application of what you have learnt, and the Cell Model Project, which hones your construction and labelling skill.

Extension activity:

While you are out on a walk, you can also draw pictures of flowers you see and label them according to the male and female parts. They may also take photos of these flowers and paste in their NSB.

Have fun exploring and learning!

 

AA project on "Cells"

Some pictures to help you remember your journey throughout the AA project on Cells.

And we are ready to present! (:

What's unique: Sponges as cytoplasm

What's unique: Corn starch as cytoplasm

What's unique: DAISO gardening polymer as cytoplasm

 

What's unique: Wax as chloroplasts
(Melted 2 different coloured candles and squeezed out using a dropper.) 

What's unique: Beads as vacuoles.
(Yes, animal cells do have vacuoles too, in fact, many of them, but in smaller sizes.)

What's unique: Ground shells as chloroplasts

What's unique: Hair gel as cytoplasm and Spices as chlorplasts

What's unique: Slime, mixed with clear glue and baking soda, as cytoplasm

What's unique: Takeaway plastic packet as animal cell membrane

What's unique: Tissue as cell wall and Sponge as vacuole

What's unique: Hardened slime as animal cell cytoplasm

I must say I am really impressed with the creativity and effort shown. I certainly enjoyed listening to all groups presenting their models proudly.

I hope you learn something new from each other from this project.

Good job 5 Integrity!
