Science ALP Modules

In this module, students will learn about urban farming and examine its viability in Singapore.

With the school-based urban farming systems, students will be learning about how to set up a hydroponics system and grow and harvest their own vegetables, as well as traditional farming in soil. Through this, they will learn about, seed germination, factors affecting plant growth such as light, water and nutrients. Students will then share their learning with their peers.

The module will be conducted in 2023 Semester 1, non-HBL Thursdays.

In this module, students will learn about how energy is produced and priced for consumption in the household and in industries. Students will be able to visit an actual power plant and learn about how electricity is produced. Students will also be given an insight into approaches that are being explored globally as well as in the context of Singapore to deal with the impending depletion of non-renewable energy sources. These approaches include studying photovoltaic physics, nuclear physics, and plasma physics in the production of renewable and sustainable energy sources. Students will also learn about ways to conserve energy at home. 

The module will be conducted in 2023 Term 1.

Forensic Science is the application of scientific theories in the resolution of legal disputes. The use of scientific concepts is of value here because of the ability of this subject nature to provide reliable, pertinent and mostly definitive information about a given case. In this module, students will learn to appreciate the basic principles behind forensic science, such as preservation and processing a crime scene, analysis of trace and contact evidence, and an introduction to the legal processes involved in forensic science. Students will also get to go for a learning journey to the Supreme Court of Singapore and take a look at how litigation cases are tried in Singapore.

The module will be conducted in 2023 Term 1.
