Science Department @ Henderson: Sec 3 Physics Learning Journey to NUS (30/7)

Announcements

Welcome to the Science Family!

During the 4 to 5 years in Henderson, our students go through a challenging and interesting Science curriculum, which is made up of the following disciplines - Biology, Chemistry and Physics. In the Lower Secondary levels, our students take General Science.

For students studying in:

The Express and Normal (Academic) streams

In Secondary One, the focus is on Physics and Biology topics. In Secondary Two, the focus is on Physics and Chemistry topics. In Upper Secondary level, students have a combination of choice within the three disciplines.

The Normal (Technical) streams

In Secondary One, the focus is on Physics and Chemistry topics. In Secondary Two, the focus is on Chemistry and Biology topics. In Secondary Three, the focus is on Physics Topics. In Secondary Four, the focus is on Chemistry and Biology topics.

Some of our approaches are:

Self-directed learning aided with information technology through inquiry-based learning and online learning programme, e.g. sciberdiver, modules involving usage of dataloggers

Enhanced Learning Experience through learning journeys and competitions.

Enjoy exploring!

Sec 3 Physics Learning Journey to NUS (30/7)

Hi Hendersonians!

Its August! What a spectacular birthday celebration to look forward to next week (and of course, the long weekend)!!

Some of our Sec 3s went on a Physics Learning Journey to NUS science demonstration laboratory on tuesday (30.7). They were captivated by several interesting science phenomenons such as the levitating superconducting magnet, Faraday cage and Wimshurst machine. These engaging demonstrations allowed them to experience science outside a classroom and hands-on meant student had a chance to experience some authentic science!

Teachers had a hard time getting students to leave the lab :)
