Weekly Modular Classes
Think Heuristics’s Science programme teaches students to use scientific heuristics over 4 modules, which are organised according to MOE’s definition of Science mastery. While each module builds on the learning from preceding modules to maximise Science mastery, these modules may also be taken standalone to target the student’s specific areas for improvement. Think Heuristics students are ready and confident to face the ultimate – the PSLE Science examination.
MOE-listed skills covered: Knowledge & Understanding, Methodologies & Process Skills
No more losing marks to:
Application of wrong concept
Not knowing how a concept manifests in real-life scenarios
Cover the 11 process skills prescribed by MOE as the foundation for learning Science. Through experiments, students will learn Science concepts and process skills in interactive ways. This facilitates concept recall and application when answering exam questions.
MOE-listed skills covered: Communicating Answers
No more losing marks to:
Application of wrong concept
Insufficiently specific answers
Missing partial or even all keywords
Learn the 4-step technique in answering Science questions. Students will be trained to extract and interpret information from questions; identify the correct concepts to apply; and pen the right answers, with all critical keywords in place.
MOE-listed skills covered: Applications, especially in unfamiliar scenarios
No more losing marks to:
Missing the point of questions
Reversion to own old answering methods
Not adapting answers when tackling unfamiliar questions
Apply Concept Mastery and TCR Answering Techniques to higher-order Science questions. Students will be exposed to unfamiliar non-routine questions. Special attention will be given to questions set against real-life scenarios – a prevalent trend in PSLE.
Bringing together the learnings from Modules 1, 2 & 3
No more losing marks to:
Unfamiliarity with Science exam techniques
Lack of speed in processing and answering questions
Running out of time to complete
Apply Concept Mastery and TCR Answering Techniques to both MCQs and open-ended questions in the PSLE Science format. Using past-year questions, students will be trained to decode the pattern in questions, and to tap on such clues towards the right answers. This module prepares students for both SA2 and PSLE Science.
Workshops for Students
We have different types of ad hoc workshops for students. Each type serves a different purpose. Ad Hoc Workshops by Modules help students in specific areas such as particular techniques or topics, etc. Intensive Revision Workshops help students who feel they need to catch up and stay on top of things. Bridging Workshops prepare students for when they move up to the next level when school begins.

Process Skills Workshop (P6)
Learn to analyse and interpret information from graphs and tables, and to use scientific knowledge to make informed decisions and draft evidence-based conclusions.
Electricity Workshop (P6)
Grasp the concept of components, circuits and connections Learn to recall and apply these to different types of electricity-related questions.
PSLE Checkpoint Workshop (P6)
Timely readiness test at mid-point in PSLE preparations. Identify areas of weakness, and receive help closing the gap between knowledge and answering of questions.
TCR Compiled Workshop (P6)
Perfect time post-SA1 to take stock of areas of weakness, and do what is necessary to bridge the gap between knowledge and answering of questions.
Real-life Scenario-based Workshop (P6)
Hone skills in applying knowledge and reasoning to daily-life scenarios, that is challenging unfamiliar questions.
Experiment Based Workshop
The Last Sprint Workshop (P6)
Take stock of performance post-prelims. Rigorous practice with past PSLE papers, and recognise obvious trends in topics and question types. Equips students to tackle challenging questions and score.
The Final Consolidation Workshop (P6)
Absolute last revision before THE exam. Recap concepts and keywords essential for crafting answers. Note common misconceptions and traps. Explore possible concept-application scenarios, including unfamiliar contexts.
Workshops for Parents
We organise workshops and webinars. These help parents understand heuristics, and give them a preview of our curriculum and programmes. These help parents who want to play a bigger role in helping their child with schoolwork.
