PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.281 | “Rated EV Range = 300 km” — Will the Car Always Travel 300 km on One Charge?
A massive PSLE Science Reality Lab guide for Primary 5/6 learners on evaluating EV range ratings as standardised test-based estimates rather than guaranteed distances for every real trip.
-

PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.280 | “STC 50” — Does the Wall Make Every Sound 50 dB Quieter?
A massive PSLE Science Reality Lab guide for Primary 5/6 learners on reading an STC sound-transmission rating without treating it as an exact 50 dB reduction for every frequency, room or installation.
