Dear students,

This is Mr Tan Hoe Teck and I am writing to you in the capacity of TEACHER COORDINATOR of ISS (Investigative Skills in Science).

This is a module under Science for Sec 2 that is to be held in Term 3 of Sec 2 (End June to End August) 

If you reflect on Sec 1 Science assessment and marks allocation, they are summarized below:

(a) Level Tests 1 and 2 = 20% 

(b) Performance Task   = 10% 

(c) Common Test          = 20% 

(d) Practical Exams      = 10% 

(e) End-of-year Exams = 40% (Covering areas of Physics, Chemistry and Biology)

For Sec 2, the components are different. They include an additional capstone task:

(a) Level Test 1             = 10% 

(b) Performance Task   = 10% 

(c) Mid Year Exams      = 20%

(d) Capstone Tasks     = 20%  (INVESTIGATIVE SKILLS IN SCIENCE) 

(e) End-of-year Exams  = 40%  (Covering areas of Physics, Biology, and ISS)

In order to prepare you well for this Capstone Task, I am guiding you through the following process:

15 Oct: Deciding the project title (You will remain in your IRS groupings OR you can change the members) 

15 Nov: Submission of project groups and title  

15 Jan: Purchase of equipment   

15 Mar: Arrival of equipment

15 May: Final preparation completed for ISS (Issue of time lines) 

End June: Start of ISS

End Aug: End of ISS

I will be reminding you at least once a month for your ideas and project equipment.  

You can generate project ideas by going to this website:
