Cracking Secondary 4 Science: Misconceptions To Clarify Before O-Levels

Image
  What’s the real challenge that most students face in secondary 4 science?  If you ask me, it’s not the volume of topics covered but the hidden misconceptions that slip past many, leading to costly mistakes in the exams. You may have a strong memory and good practice, but subtle things, like the differences between osmosis and diffusion, current that gets ‘used up’ in a circuit, etc. often lead to confusion and roadblocks.  Even if you are fully prepared to ace secondary school, these gaps of information can lead to careless mistakes on the exam papers. Proper revision of each concept in your secondary science tuition is essential.  But how to get the time to do that amidst school assessments and exam preparations?  Well, you’re forgetting the holidays!  The Nov-Dec break before secondary 4 can be utilized to fill these gaps and ensure you have maximum clarity regarding the topics. Before you start the new session head on, it’s essential that you have all...

Green Chemistry Breakthroughs Are Impacting Learning Habits In Singapore.

Image
  The future of chemistry is unfolding right now, and it is greener than ever. In Singapore, sustainability is not an abstract idea but part of the classroom. The Ministry of Education (MOE) integrates green chemistry principles directly into the pre-university curriculum through case-based learning. A 2025 study involving 18 chemistry teachers from 17 schools showed that experiential lessons enriched with sustainability concepts improved both teaching quality and student engagement. This reflects the Singapore Science Curriculum Framework, which emphasises Science for Life and Society . The framework calls for scientific literacy that combines knowledge, ethical responsibility, and sustainable practices. For JC and secondary students, this means chemistry is no longer just about formulas but also about reimagining how science can solve global challenges without harming the environment. What Green Chemistry Means in Simple Words Chemistry can be thought of as a toolbox. Traditional...

Gravity Explained! The Force Keeping Us On The Ground

Image
  We know gravity keeps us grounded (no pun intended). But they are also responsible for influencing different aspects of not just our planet but our entire universe. It is an invisible force that comes with a colossal impact. Despite centuries of study, it remains to be one of the actively researched area. The fundamentals of gravity being foundational topics where students are introduced to the concept. In this blog, we will be diving into how gravity holds us to the ground and other impacts related to it. What Is Gravity? Gravity is a force of attraction that exists between any two objects with mass. The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull. Sir Isaac Newton, in 1687, formulated the Law of Universal Gravitation, stating: "Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their cent...
