Explanation of how stroking method works
How stroking method works to magnetise a steel nail is not required in PSLE but important for O level. In recent years, PSLE did have few questions on this concept (with guidance). Since the concept is not too difficult to explain and understand, i would like to use Simple Dipole Model to briefly explain the concept...

PSLE question_energy_2014_Q44
PSLE 2014 Question 44 is difficult to visualise how it works. Many students who did not have a prior experience with this toy could not understand the question. We sourced for a similar toy to illustrate how it works. Hope this video will help the teachers to explain to the P6 kids...

magnet and magnetic material set 2
It is difficult to get a factory to provide magnet which is not magnetised. These unmagnetised magnet may have weak residual magnetic force or they may not be sensitive towards a weak magnet. To solve this problem, i used a stronger magnet mounted with wheels as a tester. This tester will be placed near the poles of each metal bar to verify which is the magnet and which is the magnetic material...

PSLE question_energy_2018_Q35

PSLE question_energy_2018_Q35 asked a question which everyone experiences in real life. In spite of that, it is difficult to explain.

Many students may not be able to visualise the effect of having less mass (load) on the train and having a train moving up a slope.

A battery operated car is used to for the experiment.

Magnetic circuit card set

The other day I was tasked to relief a Primary 5 electricity lesson on circuit card. To get over the trouble of preparing many circuir cards and after that have to disinfect them, i created a magnetic circuit card set. During the lesson i asked students to set questions for the whole class. The lesson was effective and efficient.

Difference between series and parallel circuit

Difference between series and parallel circuit is very easy to show if you have the right equipment. The Series and parallel electrical circuit demo is able to show (1) the difference in brightness, (2) the independence of the parallel circuit.

PSLE question_Energy_Q22

This is an energy related question. When the balloon is totally deflated, it does not stop immediately. The elastic potential energy of the balloon converts totally to kinetic energy of car at position L. The car converts all its kinetic energy to heat and sound energy from L to M.

PSLE question_Force_2019 Q38

PSLE question_Force_2019 Q38 is difficult for the students to visualise especially when the attraction force in involved.

Many students cannot understand that the whee an attraction force is acting on a magnet which is placed on an electronic balance, the total force acting on the electronic balance decreases and hence the reading on the balance decreases.

PSLE question_Electricity_2018 Q38

PSLE 2018 Question 38 presents a practical 2-way switch which is commonly found at homes. This type of circuit is not usual in PSLE. Most students do not understand the 2-way switch circuit and the absent of a battery also post a problem to the candidates. We created an exact 2-way switch circuit here hopefully it is useful for the science teachers to show and explain.

PSLE question_Energy_2017 Q38

PSLE 2017 Question 37 is not too difficult to answer but difficult to understand. The equipment sited in the question is difficult to visualise how it works.

We made a model to illustrate how it works. Hopefully is useful to the science teachers for them to explain.

PSLE question_Light_2014 Q30

Light experiment set - experiment 1 is an experiment created for 2014 PSLE Science Booklet A Question 30. Weaker students are not able to visualise the effect of changing the distance between light source, object and the screen on the size of the shadow. This set-up effectively helps these students understand the concept easily.

Energy Conversion for Primary 6 students

Types of energy is made for the P6 students in Singapore for the science education. Hope through the various demonstrations using toys and teaching aids, students can understand the various forms of energy in greater depth. This was made for P6 students one day before Circuit Breaker 2020.
