PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.513 | “This Water Is Brilliantly Bright in the Satellite Image” — Is Something Bright Floating on the Surface?
A massive Primary 5/6 PSLE Science Reality Lab guide to sunglint: why brilliant water in satellite imagery can come from Sun–surface–sensor geometry rather than bright material floating on the water.

PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.510 | “Composite Reflectivity = 55 dBZ” — Was 55 dBZ Measured at the Same Height Everywhere?
A massive Primary 5/6 PSLE Science Reality Lab guide to composite weather-radar reflectivity: why a 55 dBZ map value may be the maximum from different heights, not one common-altitude or direct ground-rain measurement.
-
PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.509 | “Pressure = 2000 dbar” — Is the Argo Float Exactly 2000 m Deep?
A massive Primary 5/6 PSLE Science Reality Lab guide to Argo ocean profiles: why 2000 dbar is sea pressure, not automatically an exact depth of 2000 metres, and how to evaluate units, conversion, quality flags and evidence boundaries.

PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.506 | “Wind Barb = 25 kt” — What Does the Weather Symbol Actually Encode?
A massive Primary 5/6 PSLE Science Reality Lab guide to wind barbs: how shaft direction, feathers and pennants encode weather data, and why visual line length is not a speed ruler.

PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.505 | “Power Factor = 0.90” — Does That Mean the Device Is 90% Energy Efficient?
A massive Primary 5/6 PSLE Science Reality Lab guide to power factor: why PF 0.90 is a real-to-apparent-power ratio, not proof of 90% energy efficiency or 10% energy waste.

PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.503 | “Cloud-Top Height = 12 km” — Was 12 km Directly Measured at Every Pixel?
A massive Primary 5/6 PSLE Science Reality Lab guide to satellite cloud-top height: why 12 km is a retrieved estimate from measured radiation, not a direct ruler measurement at every pixel.
