Northbridge International School Cambodia Grade 6 students began their exploration into gravity and inertia by dropping a penny into an empty glass. This may sound simple… at first, but they found many scientific elements needed to be considered to achieve success.
The students then moved on to the "balancing jenga blocks on top of a soda bottle" challenge. As a result Grade 6 now are aware of Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion - "An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."
Our record was balancing five jenga pieces. Wonderful persistence!
As students approach their final few months, the pressure to perform well intensifies. The IB Diploma Programme is known for its rigorous curriculum and high standards, making effective exam revision crucial for success. Here’s why exam revision and the upcoming mock exams are particularly important for Grade 12 students.
In a rapidly evolving world, where artificial intelligence, automation, and environmental challenges reshape our societies, the value of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education has never been greater. At Northbridge International School Cambodia (NISC), we believe that fostering creativity and innovation is at the heart of preparing students for the future.
The transition into Grade 11 is more than a step up academically; it is a transformative phase where students begin to develop life skills essential for their future.
The move from primary to secondary school is a big deal—not just for students, but for parents too. The transition isn’t something that happens overnight or in a single day. It’s a journey that stretches across the whole year, and it's one that should be taken very seriously. It's true that change can feel daunting, but when a transition programme is executed well and with the right support, this can be one of the most exciting and transformative stages in children's education.
