3/4/2023 0 Comments First Term - RecapFirst Term holiday starts officially today! We hope that our current juniors are adapting well to the Sixth Form learning environment which we know is a huge jump from O levels. We would like to say that we think our Biology students are doing quite well so far. Some of them only just started to learn how to write their own notes, some are learning how to interact and communicate better during lessons and with their peers, some are trying to learn how to get themselves more organised with their time as they need to juggle with 4 or 5 subjects. As for Biology, lessons are conducted as normal and of course we cannot leave the best bits of our lessons which are the practical lessons. Please scroll below for photos! Preparation of cheek cell and onion cell practical In this practical, the students were asked to prepare two biological specimens. First was their own cheek cells. Second was the onion cells. This would be the first time for them to ever prepare biological specimens. To some, it would be their first time handling the microscope. Biological Molecules practical Students get to do some tests for biological molecules or also known as 'food test'. While most of the tests are just recap from O levels, this year they get to learn how to conduct the test for 'Non-Reducing Sugar' as part of their A level syllabus for the very first time. Although practical lessons are done in such a way that the students are to work individually. They are free to discuss with their peers throughout their practicals. This we believe will be able to improve their communication skills as well as creating a learning environment where they practice Team Synergy, helping each other throughout their studies in PTET. This is why practical lessons are normally the 'noisiest' but of course in a GOOD WAY! We would like to say GOOD LUCK to our seniors who would be busy revising for their upcoming May/June AS Exams which will start in April.
Happy holiday, RAMADHAN MUBRARAK everyone!
