  • We have a small class size so that the teacher is able to observe the actions of each student more closely and demonstrate the correct practical techniques where and when necessary.

You may need science practical lessons if you are a private candidate who needs a science lab and apparatus as well as practical coaching, or you are a school candidate who needs more practical training to get top grades.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PRIVATE CANDIDATES 

The registration for ‘A’ and ‘O’ Level exams as a private candidate usually opens around early to mid-April (Please check SEAB website). If you are registering for a Science subject (Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Combined Sciences), at the time of registration in April, you will be asked whether you have done any science practical training in any school, centre, or institute. 

Thus if you are considering Singapore Learner as your science practical training provider, you are strongly advised to register with us and begin your science practical sessions for each subject BEFORE APRIL for us to certify that you have attended basic science practical training. Thus it is recommended that you commence practical training with us in Jan/Feb. Please note students usually do about 10 practical sessions per subject to be competent in practicals.

The following is taken from SEAB website:

“If you are registering for a Science subject with a practical paper, you:
• Must have sat the same Science subject(s) previously, OR
• are currently attending or will be attending a course of instruction in Science practical at any institute/school. You must complete the course of instruction in Science practical at the institute/school enrolled in. You are required to declare that you have fulfilled the above requirements at the point of registration. Registration for the subject may be cancelled without a refund of the examination fees if a false declaration is made.“

CIE A-LEVEL BIOLOGY PRACTICAL 2024

Posted on by admin

We provide A-Level / H2 and O-Level Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Science (Physics/Chemistry/Biology) Practical training for private / school candidates and homeschoolers, for both local (eg. H2, Singapore-Cambridge) and international exams (CIE, IGCSE). School candidates are also welcome.

*Enjoy huge discounts on fees if your lab sessions start in January! Send a message to 88765498 for details.

CIE SYLLABUS

Each paper has two or more questions and requires candidates to carry out an investigation or investigations.

They may be asked to:

– make decisions on techniques

– collect quantitative or qualitative data

– present the data or observations as tables, charts, graphs and other appropriate means

– make appropriate analyses, including making calculations

– make conclusions

– suggest improvements to the procedure or modifications for extending the investigation

One question requires candidates to carry out one activity using a light microscope.

They may be asked to:

– prepare slides

– make observations of specimens

– present their observations appropriately

– make appropriate analyses, including measurements and calculations

– make deductions and conclusions from the observations

This includes questions set in different areas of AS Level Biology, and may include material from unfamiliar contexts.

 

PRACTICAL TRAINING SCHEDULE

IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE:

The above is the ideal schedule for students who want to excel in their CIE Biology practical exams in OCTOBER, by starting in Jan and having a final practical revision or mock exam in Oct. The practical sessions are well spread out, giving students time to study the theory components as well as other subjects. Thus it is highly recommended that you commence your practical training in January.

However, if you are taking your CIE exams in MAY, you are advised to begin your practical training in November, so that you’d have enough time to comfortably complete 8 to 10 lab sessions by May.

*If you sign up after January, we will adjust the above schedule for you but you may have to attend more than one practical session per month per subject.

HANDS-ON H2 CHEMISTRY PRACTICAL REVISION

Posted on by admin

MOE/SEAB SYLLABUS FOR H2 CHEMISTRY PRACTICAL

Paper 4 (Practical) is weighted to 20% of the Higher 2 assessment.

Candidates are expected to have been exposed to a range of topics and experimental techniques such as:

  1. Titration, e.g. acid-base titration (using suitable indicators such as methyl orange, screened methyl orange, thymolphthalein, and thymol blue), redox titration, iodimetric titration, indirect titration, including the preparation of standard solutions. Other types of titrations may also be required.
  2. Gravimetric analysis, e.g. volatilization gravimetry
  3. Gas collection
  4. Thermochemistry, including thermometric titration
  5. Chemical kinetics, e.g. continuous and initial rate methods
  6. Qualitative Inorganic analysis involving an element, a compound or a mixture. Systematic analysis will not be required. Candidates should be familiar with the reactions of cations, anions, and tests of gases as detailed in the Qualitative Analysis Notes. Reactions involving ions not included in the QA notes may be tested: in such cases, candidates will not be expected to identify the ions but only to draw conclusions of a general nature. Candidates should not attempt tests, other than those specified, on substances, except when it is appropriate to test for a gas.
  7. Qualitative inorganic analysis requiring a knowledge of simple organic reactions e.g. test-tube reactions indicating the presence of unsaturation ( C = C), alcoholic, phenolic, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino groups, may be tested, but this would be for the testing of observation skills and drawing general conclusions only
  8. Simple organic synthesis and purification, including use of water bath, setting up and the use of reflux and distillation apparatus

SEC 3 COMBINED SCIENCE (BUKIT BATOK)

Posted on by admin

 

We have 2 modes of regular weekly tuition for our Math and Science classes (non-IP): Flexible Group Tuition and 1-1 Tuition.

FLEXIBLE GROUP TUITION (FGT)

We do not have a fixed group tuition slot for secondary school students for three important reasons: (1) secondary students tend to have all sorts of after-school activities and even weekend school activities such that they will keep asking for change of tuition timing and many make-up lessons, thus if we accommodate this it will become flexible group tuition anyway; (2) secondary students have several math and science subjects and either multiple tuition will be too expensive for them or they will ask both math and science questions during tuition time as our kind and caring tutors can teach both math and science subjects; (3) different schools proceed with the same subject at a different pace and even with a different order of topics thus many secondary students will find tuition lessons are not relevant to them if we dedicate a specific topic of a particular subject to a tuition slot.

So in Flexible Group Tuition, a one-session-per-week student can attend any ONE of the designated slots and times and can consult the tutor on any math or science topic. The student is still advised to stick to one slot where possible for ease of administration. The schedule and structure of FGT is as follows:

Days: Mon, Tue, Fri, Sat, Sun

Times: 5.30pm – 7pm

Structure: Once a week, 4 times a month (however, a student may opt for the twice-a-week scheme with a higher but discounted monthly fee)

Registration fee: $30

Monthly fee (4 sessions, start in Nov-Jan): $280 (once-a-week) | $480 (twice-a-week)

Monthly fee (4 sessions, start in Feb-Oct): $320 (once-a-week) | $560 (twice-a-week)

Note: Above fees for new students may be changed without notice. In general, our fees are lowest for those who commence tuition in Nov-Jan and will increase after that (for new students).

1-1 TUITION

Days: To be negotiated and agreed upon

Times: To be negotiated and agreed upon

Registration fee: $30

For further details, click on INDIVIDUAL TUITION.

Note: Our Science students (who commence tuition before March) enjoy a 50% discount when they book our Science practical sessions (once a month).

SCIENCE PRACTICAL TRAINING FOR ‘O’ AND ‘A’ LEVEL (Jan to Oct)

The Tutor for our Math and Science programs is a former MOE school teacher (ex-Rafflesian) who has been coaching students in Physics, Chemistry, Math and A.Math for more than 10 years. An alumnus of RI and RJC, he also holds both a Master of Education degree and a Postgraduate Diploma in Education with Credit from the National Institute of Education (NIE), as well as a Bachelor of Science degree from the National University of Singapore (NUS).

MOCK EXAMS FOR SCIENCE PRACTICAL (JUNE TO OCT)

CRASH COURSES (JUNE TO OCT):

H2 CHEMISTRY HANDS-ON PRACTICAL CRASH COURSE

H2 BIOLOGY HANDS-ON PRACTICAL CRASH COURSE

H2 PHYSICS HANDS-ON PRACTICAL CRASH COURSE

PAST TOPICS OF H2 PHYSICS PRACTICAL:

2022: Oscillation (slotted masses hanging from a string), W.E.P, Electricity (not potentiometer)

2023:

The first question (14m) was on circuits, construct a circuit with a wire-jockey potentiometer and a fixed resistor in parallel, then vary the fixed resistors (we were given 5 in total) while adjusting the length of the wire in contact with the jockey to keep the ammeter reading in the circuit constant.

The second question (8m) was on oscillations, where there was a short stick with two metal balls hanging from it by strings, and a diagonal stick crossing the strings which allowed the length of string to be varied and hence the period of oscillation.

The third question (22m) was on forces where students had to build a cantilever by hanging one edge of a meter rule off the table while the other edge remained on the table, and placing weights on it to find the balance point, then do calculations.

The planning question was on measuring background radioactivity count rate for different distances from a building and from the ground.

What you will get at each practical session:

(1) Teaching and instruction on how to use the various scientific tools and instruments.

(2) Tips on how to answer a practical worksheet or exam paper, including recording of observations, drawing graphs, writing conclusions, describing precautions and planning a practical.

(3) Notes on important aspects of science practicals.

We will also conduct Mock Practical Exams in September and October

 

HOW TO BOOK A LAB SESSION:

(1) Decide which Program or Lab sessions you need or most suitable for.

(5) Make the required payment for each lab session at least 5 days before the date of the lab session. (You may also pay for several sessions at one go to ensure that you will have a place in future slots)

 

FEES PER SESSION

Practical Training Session: $320

Mock Exam:- $380

SPECIAL DISCOUNT FOR ADDITIONAL SUBJECT: For every H2 Physics lab session you book, you can also book a H2 Chemistry lab session for only $270 (usual fee: $320). To view our H2 Chem schedule, click the link below:

H2 CHEMISTRY PRACTICAL

Note: Above fees are subject to changes without prior notice.

 

IMPORTANT : The full fee must be paid at least 5 days before the practical session to confirm your attendance as a lot of preparation is needed for practicals coupled with very limited class size. PLEASE NOTE IF YOU ARE ABSENT FOR A LAB SESSION, A PENALTY OF $50 MUST BE PAID TO POSTPONE THIS LAB TO ANOTHER SESSION, AND ONLY 1 POSTPONEMENT IS ALLOWED FOR EACH LAB, ELSE THE LAB IS CONSIDERED COMPLETED AND PAID FOR, AND NO REFUND WILL BE GIVEN. THE FEE FOR THE MISSED LAB CANNOT BE USED FOR ANOTHER LAB.
