Chemistry Practical Training

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PRIVATE CANDIDATES 

The registration for ‘A’ and ‘O’ Level exams as a private candidate usually opens around mid-April (Please check SEAB website) and closes before mid-May. If you are registering for a Science subject (Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Combined Sciences), at the time of registration, you will be asked whether you have done any science practical training in any school, centre, or institute. Thus you must begin your science practical training before April. Science practical training in Singapore Learner qualifies as practical training for the purpose of registration for Science subjects for the ‘A’ and ‘O’ level exams.

Thus if you are considering Singapore Learner as your science practical training provider, you must register with us and complete at least 4 basic practical sessions for each subject by 31st April for us to certify that you have attended science practical training. As students usually do about 10 practical sessions per subject to be competent in practicals, the rest of the lab sessions can be done from May to early October, including the prelim/mock practical exams.

JC1 H2 MATH TUITION for JPJC students

As you know, different JCs do not teach the same sequence of H2 math topics, and even for the same sequence, the pace may be different. We have been coaching PJC and JJC students since 2007, thus this year we are allocating two tuition slots just for JPJC students as follows:

(1) Saturday | 4.15 pm – 5.45 pm

(2) Sunday | 2.30 pm – 4.00 pm

Our Location: Blk 644, Bukit Batok Central, #01-68. S(650644)

Do join us early if you wish to master H2 Math and you are aiming for an ‘A’ at the A-Levels.

Early birds get at a good discount off the standard fee.

If you sign up in Feb, the fee per month of 4 lessons is just $240. This is to encourage JC students to learn ahead of their school, or at the least keep up with their school work.

Please note that our standard monthly fee for JC1 H2 math is $340.

For enquiries, call us at 65694897 or send a message to 88765498 http://wa.link/w0xxk2

You can also REGISTER for our classes by sending your Name and Tuition Day & Time to 88765498.

JC H2 Maths and Physics Lecture Series Tuition

For all JC students taking H2 Physics or H2 Mathematics in 2019. Are you feeling lost or confused in class? Not able to keep up with your H2 tutor in school? Have you forgotten some key concepts and need focused revision? Are you anxious that your school’s syllabus is too slow and want to get a head start? Do you just want a refresher session on the weekend to help you retain all that content after class?

 

Here at Singapore Learner, we have topical lecture series to address these needs! Priced at a competitive rate of $120/- every 2 lectures, or $190/- every 4 lectures, you can attend whichever topic of your choosing at our given time slots. Our lecture series will cover the full content of the entire topic, without skipping or speeding up unnecessarily, as well example questions based on popular questions asked in tutorial, block tests, as well as the A-levels. Our small class size ensures that we can address every misconception a student in time. Strengthen your concepts and build towards that A-grade with us now!

 

Lectures start with H2 Maths followed by H2 Physics. Sign up for 20 lectures with us before 10th Feb and you can get them at an exclusive price of $890!

Posted in Pure Physics

Study Tips: O-Level Physics Chapter 16- Static Electricity

Key Ideas
1. There are two types of electric charges: positive and negative charges.

2. Like charges repel, unlike charges attract.

3. Electric charge is measured in coulombs (C).

4. Electrostatic charging of insulators by friction involves a transfer of electrons.

5. Electrical insulators do not conduct electricity because they do not contain mobile charged particles.

6. Electrical conductors are able to conduct electricity because they contain mobile charged particles (electrons).

7. Electrical conductors can be charged by induction.

8. Electrical insulators that are charged can be neutralised (discharged) by heating or exposure to humid conditions. Electrical conductors that are charged can be neutralised by earthing.

9. During electrostatic charging and discharging, only electrons are transferred.

10. An electric field is a region in which an electric charge experiences an electric force.

11. The direction of the electric field is the direction of the force acting on a small positive charge placed in the field.

12. Some hazards of electrostatic charging are lightning, and electrostatic discharge near flammable substances.

13. Electrostatic charging is used in photocopiers, electrostatic precipitators to reduce air pollution, spray painting to produce an even coat of paint.

IMPORTANT STUDY POINTS

1. Be aware of the formula Q = nq to calculate the number (n) of charge carriers given the the charge (q) on one particle and the total amount of charge (Q).
2. As 1 C is a large amount of charge, must know how to use or convert units such as millicoulomb and microcoulomb.
3. Must know the difference between how insulators and conductors are charged, and how they are discharged, and be able to explain these processes only in terms of the transfer of electrons.
4. Must know the difference between what happens when an insulator touches a charged object and when a conductor touches a charged object.
5. Must know the correct sequence for producing two similarly charged conductors, two oppositely charged conductors and a single charged conductor.
6. Must be able to define electric field and draw electric field patterns.
7. Be able to describe the dangers of electrostatic charging.
8. Be able to describe how electrostatic charging is used in photocopiers, precipitators and spray painting.

BACKGROUND OF TUTOR

Mr Jimmy Teh has taught H2 Economics in JC since 2008, before venturing into tuition fully in 2015. He has a Bachelor degree from NUS in Economics, and is NIE trained. As a former teacher who was once in a mainstream school, he is aware of the rigour of JC curriculum and how it is designed to promote critical thinking and produce self-directed learners. His courses are planned with a unique set of notes for easy learning and comes with its own diagnostics to help you to identify the root cause of your issues, be it inadequacies in content, inability to tackle the question fully or always not using the right words for the answers. Work will also be fully assessed, with sufficient rigour and exposure in his programmes.

Attend our A.Math Distinction program if you wish to learn A.Math topics in advance and be given challenging questions to solve. Lots of thinking and questioning in every lesson. You will be exposed to tough questions from top school papers and past year papers. Join this program if you consistently scored B4 or above in your past A.Mathtests and exams, or you are simply passionate about A.Math.

Attend our A.Math Improve program if you wish to revise and even relearn the key A.Math topics and concepts.  Not all A.Math topics are equally challenging or fundamental; some A.Math topics have heavier emphasis in exams, some are conceptually harder and some must be fully understood before others can be mastered. Join this program if you want to learn HOW to study A.Math. Join this program if you had consistently scored C5 or below in your previous A.Math tests and exams, and now you are SERIOUS about improving your A.Math grades.


The Tutor is a former MOE school teacher who has been coaching students in ‘A’ Level & IB Physics and Mathematics for more than 7 years, as well as ‘O’ Level & IP PhysicsAdditional Math, E. Math and PSLE 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).
