PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.188 | “Snow Water Equivalent = 100 mm” — Is the Snow 100 mm Deep?
A Primary 5/6 PSLE Science Reality Lab guide to snow water equivalent: learn why 100 mm SWE describes the water stored in snow, not the physical snow depth, and how density changes the relationship.
-

PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.187 | “Specific Conductance = 500 µS/cm” — Does That Mean 500 mg/L of Dissolved Salt?
A Primary 5/6 PSLE Science Reality Lab guide to specific conductance: learn why 500 µS/cm is an electrical-conductivity measurement, not automatically 500 mg/L of dissolved salt, and how to judge conversion claims.

PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.186 | “Wind Direction = 270°” — Is the Wind Blowing Toward the West?
A Primary 5/6 PSLE Science Reality Lab guide to wind-direction reports: learn why 270° means wind coming from the west, not travelling toward the west, and how to read weather arrows, degrees and averages correctly.

PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.185 | “Sea-Level Pressure = 1013 hPa” — Did the Weather Station Directly Measure 1013 hPa?
A Primary 5/6 PSLE Science Reality Lab guide to weather pressure: learn why mean sea-level pressure is a reduced comparison value, not always the raw pressure directly measured at the station.

PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.184 | “Total Ozone = 300 DU” — Is the Ozone Layer 300 mm Thick?
A Primary 5/6 PSLE Science Reality Lab guide to Dobson Units: learn why 300 DU describes total-column ozone and does not mean a 300 mm-thick physical ozone layer.

PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.183 | “Salinity = 35 PSU” — Is 35% of the Seawater Salt?
A Primary 5/6 PSLE Science Reality Lab guide to practical salinity: learn why a reading near 35 PSU is not 35% salt, and how conductivity-based salinity values should be interpreted.
