PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.166 | “Sea Ice Concentration = 80%” — Is the Ice 80% Thick?
A Primary 5/6 evidence guide to sea-ice concentration maps: learn why 80% concentration describes surface-area coverage inside a grid cell, not ice thickness, and how to keep area, extent and thickness separate.

PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.165 | “Feels Like 42°C” — Did a Thermometer Measure 42°C?
A Primary 5/6 evidence guide to weather-app “feels like” values: separating measured air temperature and humidity from the derived heat index, and checking the conditions behind the number.
-
PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.164 | “Category 4 Hurricane” — Does the Category Tell You the Storm’s Size, Rainfall and Surge?
A Primary 5/6 evidence guide to hurricane categories: what the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale actually classifies, and why category is not a shortcut for storm size, rainfall or storm surge.

PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.163 | “Sea-Surface Temperature = 30°C” — Is the Ocean 30°C All the Way Down?
A Primary 5/6 evidence guide to sea-surface temperature maps: what the sensor represents near the surface, what it does not tell us about deeper water, and how to keep a claim inside the measured layer.

PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.162 | “Significant Wave Height = 2 m” — Is Every Wave 2 m High?
A Primary 5/6 evidence guide to reading significant wave height correctly: a summary of a changing wave field, not the height of every individual wave.

PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.161 | “Magnitude 6.0” — Did Every Place Experience the Same Shaking?
PSLE-SCI-REALITY-0161. A Primary 5/6 guide to earthquake headlines and maps: why one magnitude value describes the event while local shaking intensity can vary with distance, depth and ground conditions.
