PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.047 | “Three Studies Agree” — Did They All Use the Same Dataset?
PSLE-SCI-REALITY-0047. A student-facing Reality Lab guide to checking whether several agreeing studies provide independent evidence or are repeated analyses of the same underlying dataset.
-
PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.046 | “Both Groups Improved” — Did the New Product Cause the Improvement?
PSLE-SCI-REALITY-0046. A student-facing Reality Lab guide to evaluating before-and-after claims when both the tested group and a comparison group improve: compare changes, check starting conditions and ask what extra improvement the tested factor actually explains.
-
PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.045 | “95% Accurate” — Accurate on Which Data?
PSLE-SCI-REALITY-0045. A massive Primary 5/6 Reality Lab guide to accuracy claims: ask which cases built the model, which cases truly tested it, whether test cases resemble real use, and what the headline percentage hides.
-
PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.044 | “The Model Fits the Data” — Does That Prove the Explanation?
PSLE-SCI-REALITY-0044. A massive Primary 5/6 Reality Lab guide to model-fit claims: separate observations from fitted lines, inspect the errors left behind, compare alternative explanations, and test whether the model predicts new evidence.
-
PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.043 | “The Blank Sample Was Clean” — What Contamination Did That Actually Check?
PSLE-SCI-REALITY-0043. A massive Primary 5/6 Reality Lab guide to blank samples: trace where the blank travelled, identify which contamination pathway it could detect, and keep a clean blank from becoming a universal guarantee.

PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.042 | “Blind Tested” — What Did the Tester Not Know?
PSLE-SCI-REALITY-0042. A massive Primary 5/6 Reality Lab guide to evaluating “blind tested” scientific claims: identify what information was hidden, what bias pathway that protects against, and what blinding still cannot prove.
