Due to overwhelming demand, we
are bringing back our popular GX Lab
holiday programmes and more! We believe
that be it Sciences or Life Sciences,
they can only be fully appreciated
through experiential learning. Check out
our fully hands-on learning programmes.

The ArtScience revolution
is here. Give your child a head
start!
Increasingly, students are being
challenged to be innovative, to solve
problems or to adapt to the changing
environment. We see our children
struggling with this. This workshop
aims to help your child discover
his/her individual talent, to preserve
the creativity that children are born
with and to give natural aptitude as
much importance as literacy and
scientific thinking skills. Inspired by the Harvard
ArtScience Initiative and Sir Ken
Robinson, we will use The Arts and the
Sciences as the platform to to explore
and learn the Primary 3 Science
Syllabus.
Highlights
of the programme are:
Our experiments
are conducted in a real
science lab
Drama techniques
are used to enhance thinking
skills
Creative
exercises are used to let
children learn to communicate
ideas
Excursions to
Kent Ridge Park & the
S.E.A. Aquarium*

We reserve the right to amend the
venue due to any unforeseen
circumstances.
The
objective of this workshop is to
introduce a few science topics
that they have learnt in school
and apply their knowledge in
making something interesting and
fun! Through this learning
journey, students will receive a
better understanding and
appreciation of many innovations
and creations that has brought
about great changes to our
lives. And since Christmas is
just around the corner, why not
make a Christmas themed
scientific gift for that special
someone!
Students
will uncover these Science
topics such as sound energy,
mass, weight and density.
Through application of these
concepts, they will design and
make products such as the Lava
lamp, snow globe and panpipes.
As Christmas is around the
corner, students will make use
of common household items and
scientific apparatueses to make
these items and use Christmas
themed decorations.
In
the programme, students
will:
Recap and
reflect on science
topics they have
learned in school
Learn
applications of
Reduce, Reuse and
Recycle to make new
scientific toys
Make
their own lava lamp
without using
electricity or
batteries!
Work in a
real science lab
while making their
toys
Develop the young
scientific mind through in-depth
exploration of syllabus-based
topics in this fun-filled
workshop! Learning goes out of the
textbooks and into the hands of
students to strengthen their
foundation and boost their
understanding of challenging
scientific concepts commonly
tested in PSLE.
Students will gain a
better understanding of magnets,
electricity and chemistry through
various hands-on activities, as
well as real-life applications and
explorations of concepts taught.
Their critical analysis and
investigative skills will be honed
as they tackle real-life problems
with the use of scientific kits. Students
will also learn to apply their
knowledge and creativity to create
scientific tools from everyday
objects.
Students will have a
time for self-reflection and their
progress will be evaluated during
this workshop. Documentation (e.g.
photos) of students’ participation
during the workshop will also be
done.
In
the programme,
students will:
Investigate the
properties of electricity,
magnets & chemistry
Perform simple
experiments in a real science
lab
Learn how to make a
fruit watch, a compass
Work with simple
electrical circuits
Gain exposure and
practice in answering
PSLE-type questions
Students
will be presented with a case
scenario- An epidemic in a
small town and people are
dying. Students will take on
the role as a Junior Medical
Diagnostic Officers and
accomplish the following aims:
determine the spread of the
mysterious disease,find a
possible cure and solution.
Students
will be introduced to the
various methods of analysis
and be able to derive parallel
comparisons to a real epidemic
event. Students will attain a
sense of appreciation for
medical technology
advancements, approaches
undertaken by real medical
scientists and the world of
Microbiology.
In
the programme, students
will:
Understand how
microorganisms are linked with
infectious diseases
Learn the effects of
antibiotics and their
properties
Perform bacteria
culturing to determine the
causative agent
Perform biochemical
tests to identify the
causative agent
Students
will take up the roles as
Environmentalist employed by
the government to
investigate the source of
pollution in a village. They
will be required to
determine the culprit of the
pollution problem by
analyzing the results
obtained from their pH
indicator and the data
logger. Students will be
introduced to the delicate
balance of the mangrove
ecosystem and impact of the
mangrove habitat to mankind!
Students
will enjoy this learning
journey, as they will get to
appreciate the natural
surroundings of Sungei Buloh
Wetland
Reserve,
accompanied by the migratory
birds and taking a stroll
along the mangrove swamp
board walk.
In
the programme,
students will:
Know
the importance of
preserving our
mangrove swamp
Appreciate
the
eco-diversity
of the
Sungei Buloh Wetland
Reserve
Learn
about the symbiotic
relationships between
the flora and fauna in
the various nature
reserves
Learn
how to extract
anthocyanins from red
cabbage to make a pH
indicator solution.
Students
will take on roles of CSI
detectives where they will
analyze and examine various
evidences to piece the
series of events together
and recreate the crime
scene.
Students
will be guided throughout
the investigation process by
maintaining a peripheral
view of the crime scene,
evidences and suspects.
Logical reasoning and
analytical skills are the
key factors in this
workshop.
Students
will perform hands on
activities to understand the
science behind crime scene
investigations which
encompasses analysis of
physical and biological
evidences and experience the
real life attributes of a
Forensic Scientist. Students
