Engaging Lessons

 

Mr Lim enjoys bringing creative content, life applications, anecdotes of Chemistry in everyday life issues to help students learn better. Here is a snippet of one of the jokes shared in our electrolysis class.

Going the Extra Mile

 

With a beloved chem bible, a compiled book of revision answering techniques, key lesson points, notes & shortcuts, students are wowed to be kept coming back for more. Mr Lim even shares Chemistry lectures while on holidays!

Apart from academics, I find it really cool that you post stories related to chem everywhere you go (in Japan’s beer factory or changing gas tank HAHA), it really shows me that what I am learning in sch has a real life application to the outside world!
