PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.102 | “Both Results Say 50” — Are the Units Actually the Same?
A Primary 5/6 PSLE Science Reality Lab guide to equal-looking numbers with different units: learn why “50” and “50” are not scientifically equal until the quantities, prefixes and units are aligned.
-
PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.101 | “Both Lab Reports Say 9/10” — Were They Measuring the Same Thing With the Same Test?
A Primary 5/6 PSLE Science Reality Lab guide to scientific comparability: learn why two identical-looking scores such as 9/10 are not automatically comparable when the tests, properties, scales, references or conditions differ.
-
PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.100 | “The Corrected Value Is −2” — Can the Physical Amount Really Be Negative?
A Primary 5/6 PSLE Science Reality Lab guide to background subtraction: learn why a processed result can become negative even when the underlying physical amount cannot, and why raw signal, background estimate and corrected value must stay separate.

PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.099 | “Plant-Based Plastic” — Does Plant-Based Mean Biodegradable?
A Primary 5/6 PSLE Science Reality Lab guide to environmental material claims: learn why plant-based or biobased origin does not automatically prove that a plastic is biodegradable, compostable or suitable for a particular disposal route.
-
PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.098 | “Tested in Triplicate” — Were There Three Independent Samples, or Three Readings of One Sample?
A Primary 5/6 PSLE Science Reality Lab guide to the phrase “tested in triplicate”: learn why three readings of one prepared sample are not automatically three independent samples or three independent confirmations.
-
PSLE Science Reality Lab Vol No.097 | “1, 10, 100, 1000” — Is This a Logarithmic Axis Rather Than Equal Steps?
A Primary 5/6 PSLE Science Reality Lab guide to logarithmic axes: learn why equal visual spacing can represent equal multiplication rather than equal addition, and how that changes scientific interpretation.
