As your child enters their final years of primary school, it's normal to start worrying about their future success. You want them to excel in their studies to get into an excellent secondary school and eventually a good university. Science enrichment programmes are a fantastic way to help your child do that. A good science enrichment programme can offer a range of activities and challenges that will engage your child in the subject matter. On top of that, participating in science enrichment programmes can also give your child an added advantage when it comes to applying for selective schools or scholarships, as well as helping them prepare for their PSLE science exams.
Benefits of science enrichment programmes
Students are expected to take on greater challenges and complete more complex assignments as they progress through their education. Science enrichment programmes are designed to supplement their learning of science and how science concepts can be applied outside of the school syllabus. At the same time, it also helps them develop a strong foundation in the subject, which will benefit them in their future studies in ways such as:
● Improved grades in school
● A head start on STEM careers
● A deeper appreciation for science and its applications
● Expanded critical thinking skills
● Stronger problem-solving abilities
All parents want their child to excel in school and develop a love for learning and science enrichment programmes help to achieve both of these goals. By providing hands-on activities and opportunities for exploration, they can spark a child's curiosity and allow them to learn about the world around them in a fun and engaging way. While there are many different kinds of science enrichment programmes available online or through schools, they all help children cultivate important skills and encourage creativity.
PSLE science
PSLE is a milestone examination that all Singaporean students must take to move on to secondary school. It's what all our young years have been building up to - the moment when we prove we've got what it takes to go on to the next level of schooling. In order to achieve their maximum potential in their PSLEs, many students turn to science enrichment programmes to help them prepare.
Science enrichment programmes can help students develop core competencies and crucial skills that will enhance their performance during the exams. At the same time, engaging the help of a PSLE science tutor can help your child better understand the concepts they are learning in class and provide them with the tools they need to succeed.
Heuristics Science’s yearly PSLE workshop series
PSLE checkpoint workshop: Students who pace themselves in their learning are in a better position to take their PSLEs. To help them get there, we will revise key topics from upper Primary while building on their mental stamina.
PSLE science - real life scenarios: We teach students how to tackle different question types effectively with our TCR method. This gives them a competitive edge over their peers when it comes to exams.
Experiment based PSLE workshop (online): Through hands-on learning, this workshop is designed to train students in experimental questions so that they can reduce unnecessary mistakes and give a valiant effort when they take their final exams.
Last sprint: Our last sprint workshop will focus on preparing students to tackle the most commonly tested concepts and types of questions that others stumble at. This way, there are no surprises left come exam day.
PSLE final consolidation workshop: To help students consolidate and assimilate key concepts, we conduct a final Consolidation workshop before PSLE, where our experienced tutors can give them a final push towards achieving excellent results.
