Science Olympiad
Programme
Our students excelled in the past NUS High Science Olympiad Competitions, bagging numerous awards across the three categories i.e. Gold, Silver and Bronze awards. Over the years, we have been receiving excellent feedback from teachers and students from various schools.
​
Our programme empowers students by adopting an investigative and interactive approach, engaging students and encouraging them to think creatively and critically. We provide intensive training that includes group discussions and carefully designed fun, interesting hands-on activities, to help students gain exposure on the building blocks of advance Science topics in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Students are also challenged through the inquiry-based learning mode and facilitated to handle high level Science questions and conduct Science experiments independently and confidently. Students will understand the elements of a good experiment such as having a clear concept/question of what is being tested, using an appropriate set of control(s), keeping all variables constant except for the one being tested, differentiate what “independent” and “dependent” variables are and how one can extend the findings of an experiment to new experiments or to applications.
​
Through this, they develop a set of good Science process skills and acquire a set of critical thinking skills, honing their skills such as acquiring, refining, extending, or applying Scientific concepts, observing, comparing, classifying, communicating, and analysing, which helps students to analyse tricky and challenging questions and critically evaluate their answers. We aim to cultivate students’ interest in Science topics, so that they may continue to research and read up independently, to prepare beyond their syllabus. Most importantly, we cater to varying needs for the targeted students with our variable yet structured step-by step approach.
Science Programmes
Toy Making
Workshop
Our workshop helps students integrate learning content from disciplines such as Science and Arts, moving beyond the textbook and classroom setting and applying them to real-life situations. Our students design creative solutions for National Competitions like the Sony Creative Toy Making Competition.
​
With an investigative approach, a greater awareness of the environment and creativity skills are instilled in our students through hands-on exposure and experimentation. This motivates them to conceptualise, design and fabricate their own creative, environmentally friendly, and functional toy creations using recycled materials, and understand how they work. Through the process, students will develop relevant soft skills such as teamwork, perseverance, and responsibility.
​
A sample lesson encompasses “What is Aeronautics”, “The Concept of Flight Science”, and “Exercise regime to strengthen the launching of the airplane and recording of the Flight Journal”.
