Science - Unit of Life and March Holiday Homework

Dear 5A

I am pleased to see the effort shown by all of you today. Clearly, one must know exactly what the group members did in order to present the model well.

Through this activity, I hope all of you have a clearer idea on the various part of a plant cell. The material you used in making the model can be related to the function or characteristics of the plant cell. For example, a rigid material tend to be chosen for the cell wall to protect the cell and give it its shape. Green materials were used to represent the chloroplast since chlorophyll appears green. One group even use water to represent cytoplasm.

Meanwhile, do remember the holiday homework below
1. Draw 5 other types of cells that are not shown so far in the Nature Study Book.
2. Compare an animal cell and a plant cell using a table in the Nature Study Book.
3. Complete the 30 MCQ as self revision.
4. Read up the activity book on microscope

We will continue with this in Term 2 week 1. Do remember to bring your Activity Books and leave it in school when you are back.

Solar Eclipse on 9 March 2016

Dear 5A

On 9 March 2016, we experienced the solar eclipse at about 8.23 am. Although we were unprepared for this rare moment, I believe many of us were pleased to catch a glimpse of it.
In class, I have shared with you briefly some information on solar eclipse and I would like to take this opportunity to excite you further with some additional information for your pleasure reading and exploration.


If you have missed the eclipse this time, you may want to equip yourself with some simple materials for the next eclipse on 26 Dec 2019.
