Snow City 3 September 2007

Pupils from P4 Youthful, P5 Victorious and P5 Resilient had a great time playing in the 'snow' in sunny Singapore. Click here for more pictures.

They also learnt to make ice-cream. Here's the programme outline.

The programme opens with a brief history of ice cream. The different ingredients used in making ice cream are then presented to students. Different techniques in making ice cream will be discussed, with emphasis on the use of liquid nitrogen. Students will be asked to form small groups, and together they will prepare their group’s ice cream using liquid nitrogen. On top of that, students will get the chance to savour the ice cream that they have prepared. The experience is expected to be memorable for the students. They get to learn science concepts such as transmission of heat energy by conduction, effects of heat exchange, and thermal properties of matter. The multi-sensory experience provided by this programme helps to cement the students’ understanding of various science concepts further.

I hear and I forget. I see and I understand. I experience and I remember.
