Integrated Science Holiday Work & Tasks

Dear all boys,

As mentioned during class, please spend the week of September holidays very wisely.

These are the following tasks that I would like you to complete for the week:
1) Go through the 2 sets of Thermal Physics notes. I have attached the teachers' version so that the questions in the 2 handouts will be addressed.
2) Do an online learning on Thermal Physics (if you have not done so)
http://thermalphysics.wetpaint.com/

3) Complete LSS Ex 7 : Thermal Physics
4) Study for LSS Test 4 which I will administer on the 1st week of Term 4. Topics will be on cells, diffusion and osmosis, digestive system, respiratory system & thermal physics. Although the marks to this test will not contribute to any assessment, it will still be a good platform for you to test yourselves.

5) Complete your Science E-porfolio by September 13 (Mon) - Do update your link in the response box below if there are changes to the one that you key in the last time. If you are not sure, just key in the most updated link. Information of the Science E-portfolio is also attached on the EMB.

Note that you have to access the EMB for the various attachments.

Dr Tan KK

LSS Ex 6 - Diffusion & Osmosis, Digestion

Dear boys,

Those who has yet to hand in LSS Ex 6: Diffusion & Osmosis, Digestion, please do so latest by next Monday, 23 August before 0800 hrs or it will be considered late (computed in the deadline of your progress report).

If I do not receive your LSS Ex 6 by 23 August 1400 hrs, the consequence is that your science
test marks will be penalised.

Please download from the iVLE or SMB msg I put up if you have misplaced the worksheet.

Regards,
Dr Tan KK

LSS Ex 6

Dear all,

Please submit LSS Ex 6 by tomorrow afternoon, 20 Aug (Fri).

Do enjoy your sabbaticals next week.

Science Film Review: ACE Opportunity

Dear all,

I will be showing a documentary series from Discovery Channel entitled:

Mysteries of Modern Asia: Psychics, Mystics and Shamans

on 16 August (Mon) 2.20 pm to 3.30 pm at SPACE (iSpark Room)

Afterwhich, you will need to write a page of reflections / thoughts based on what you have watched. That will fulfill part of your ACE for Science. You will then need to do 2 more science enrichments.

I will not be applying for excuse for CCAs, class lessons e.t.c. You have to negotiate with your teacher should you need excuse from these afternoon activities.

Regards,
Dr Tan KK

Diffusion and Osmosis - Applications

Dear boys,

Good to see all of you guys preparing for the presentations for Diffusion and Osmosis Applications. I have seen through some of your presentations and they are really good, with nice pictures and clear explanations.

I hope the rest have put in effort to prepare to present to the rest of the class. I will be giving time for you guys to prepare the presentation (1I1 has gone to teh computer lab last Mon) in the computer lab. You will be presenting next week (Week 5).

Talking about Week 5, remember that our science test on "Term 2 topics (mainly chemistry) and Cells" will be in Week 7. I will be giving out test instructions and such next week.

There are some of you who have yet to hand in LSS Ex 5 and I am still waiting. I will be putting up a list of boys who have not handed in LSS Ex 5 next week.

Regards,
Dr Tan KK
