Science Dad SG Hi there! I am Jayce Or, PSLE Science coach at Germinate. I help my students Heart ❤️ Science!

03/09/2026

For 🧑🏻‍🏫 Teachers’ Day, we put Teacher Debbie in the hot seat and asked her three questions:

👧 What was your childhood ambition?
💭 What’s your most memorable teaching moment?
🌱 And what’s your wish for all your students?

Her answers may surprise you. Her wish for her students? That’s the part that reminds us why teachers matter.

Because sometimes, the dream changes.
But the joy of making a difference stays. ❤️

Happy Teachers’ Day to all the teachers who inspire curiosity, spark confidence and make learning a little more magical — one “AHA!” moment at a time.

Spoiler: the ice cream never happened.
But she did end up with something pretty sweet — a career helping children discover, question and make sense of the world around them. 🌱

🌱 What do parents say after our Masterclasses?

Our July/ Aug Masterclasses may be over, but the feedback from parents is still coming in. 💚

From better understanding of concepts to greater confidence in tackling tricky questions, we’re grateful to hear how students are putting what they learnt into practice.

Because effective revision isn’t about doing more questions. It’s about knowing what to look for, how to think, and how to apply what you know.

🧠 PSLE SCIENCE SERIES | TIP 3: Train for Speed AND Accuracy

Knowing the answer is important.

But in the PSLE, you also need to answer it accurately—and within the time limit. ⏱️

As the PSLE Science gets closer, make timed practice part of your revision routine:

⏰ Practise under realistic time limits
✍️ Build speed without sacrificing accuracy
🔍 Learn to spot mistakes quickly
💪 Develop the confidence to stay calm under pressure

The goal isn’t simply to finish the paper.

It’s to finish well—with enough time to check, correct and secure those precious marks.

🌱 Train smart. Stay focused. Finish strong.

🧠 P3–P6 PARENT WORKSHOP | PRIMARY SCIENCE MISCONCEPTIONS REVEALED

“But my child’s answer makes sense… why was it marked wrong?”

Science misconceptions can start small in P3, become harder to spot in P4–P5, and cost valuable marks in P6 and the PSLE.

Some ideas sound perfectly logical—but are scientifically inaccurate or incomplete. Left unaddressed, these misconceptions can follow students from one level to the next.

With years of experience helping thousands of students in Primary Science, we’re opening up the key conceptual blind spots parents should know about.

In this exclusive workshop, discover:

💡 The key concepts that matter most from P3–P6—and where to zoom in
🔍 Common misconceptions & blind spots that affect students across ability levels
🔗 How topics connect across P3–P6, following current PSLE trends
✍️ How students can express scientific concepts clearly and accurately
🎯 Our Critical Concept Mastery approach to tackling tough, non-routine questions

Whether your child is building foundations in P3, strengthening concepts in P4–P5, or preparing for the PSLE in P6, understanding where misconceptions begin can make a significant difference.

📅 25 September 2026 (Friday)
⏰ 7.30pm–9.30pm

🌱 Don’t just ask, “Does my child know the answer?”
Ask: “Does my child truly understand the Science behind it?”

Did you read this Straits Times article that got parents talking?

Teacher Jayce, Principal of Germinate Learning, & former experienced PSLE Science marker responds in today’s The Straits Times Forum, explaining why the answer featured in the article was marked incorrect — and what makes an answer scientifically correct.

For PSLE Science open-ended questions, it’s not just about knowing the concept. Students need to understand what is being asked and communicate their thinking using precise scientific language.

If this explanation has helped you understand Science marking better, share it with a fellow parent who might find it useful too! 😊☺️

🚨 The PSLE Science paper has changed. Has your child’s MCQ preparation changed too?
Under the revised PSLE Science format, MCQs now make up 60% of the paper.

That’s more than half of your child’s Science grade.

This means MCQs can no longer be treated as “the easier section.”

Today’s Science MCQs don’t just test facts.

They test whether students can:
✔ Apply concepts in unfamiliar situations
✔ Distinguish between similar options
✔ Spot common misconceptions
✔ Think carefully under exam pressure

That’s why we created Conquer Science Tricky MCQs (Primary 3 & 4).

Instead of endless drills, students learn how to recognise exam traps, eliminate distractors logically and build the confidence to tackle challenging questions.

Because when the assessment changes, preparation should change too.

📚 Conquer Science Tricky MCQs – Primary 3 & 4 Available in stores and online platforms now.
