Sha's Edventure: Soda Pool
Uncle Raisin goes to Soda Pool.
Credit to Cikpuan Salleha Seth of Little Ibnu Sina.
I attended her workshop few years back while still homeschooling the children.
I love her ideas of introducing Science to children:
π‘ Engage them with a story. Create characters. In this experiment, it was "Uncle Raisin."
π‘ Skip the scientific term. Use simple words. Here, we used "zarah" in place of atom or molecules. Bonus ~ π« the word 'zarrah' is mentioned in the Quran, so it fits nicely with QLS.
To deliver the lesson, we incorporate The Whole Brain Teaching:
π£ Less talk, more action.
So, where's the science in this activity?
1. Water is Allah's creation.
In water we see SIGNS of Allah's greatness.
2. The arrangement of zarah in water differs from solid and liquid.
3. In soda drink, we have the gas zarah + water zarah. They work as a team.
4. When Uncle Raisin, a solid, jumps into the pool of soda, he sinks and screams for help.
5. It is fitrah to help and care about others. The gas zarah is quick to help. Together, the gas zarah (carbon dioxide) attach themselves to Uncle Raisin to push him up.
6. This is an effort to reach a state of balance. Perfection. Equilibrium. (You can skip this big word if you like. For senior students, I exposed them to terms like this).
7. Only The Creator is The Most Perfect. The Most Stable. We can work hard towards being the best, but we can never be the best.
8. So, when Uncle Raisin hit the surface, does he live happily ever after like in fairy tale?
Other things happen.
New challenges arise.
9. The gas zarah pops, and Uncle Raisin drowns again.
10. The struggle continues. He goes up and down with the help of gas zarah in the water.
This is life.
Phew! Deep, indeed.
No pun intended.

Digestion Process
This was anπ‘ 'awesomely gross' π‘demonstration that we did in class.
Rehearse before you decide to do this.
You want to get the storyline smooth..so you can hit the punchline and drive the message home.
✨I did my homework here:
http://www.homeschoolroom.com/digestive-system-demonstration/
π² Materials and what they represent:
Biscuits/Bread = food we eat
Colored water = the drink
Container = mouth
Scissors = front teeth
Masher /your fingers = back teeth
Funnel = esophagus
Orange juice/100 plus = acid in stomach
Ziploc bag = stomach
Stocking / sock = small intestine
Paper towels = large intestine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Teachers, you want to do this demonstration in class.
Watch your students' faces especially when the 'awesomely gross' process takes place.
Wallahu a'lam.

Sha's Edventure: Can you see Air?
We cannot see air, but it's there!
Experiment 1:
Trap air in a plastic bag.
Experiment 2:
Put tissue paper in a glass.
Turn the glass upside down and submerge it in water.
What happens to the tissue paper?
It remains dry.
The air 'zarah' protects the tissue paper.
Experiment 3:
Fill glass with water, 3/4 full.
Turn it upside down on a card.
What happens?
The water does not spill.
The air 'zarah' pushes the card upwards.

Sha's Edventure: Puffy Moon
Science L1
#qlsscience1
#puffypaint
#moonscience
Puffy Paint Moon, in conjunction with the upcoming Isra' Mi'raj.
~ 1/2 cup white glue
~ 1 1/2 cup shaving foam
For a class of 15 pax, 1 can of Gillette Lemon Lime Foam, RM12+ is good.
** The lemony scent is waaay better than other manly ones, in my humble opinion.
Engage:
Hold a styrofoam ball and ask, can you imagine what is this?
[ available at Mr. DIY, RM1.80 for 2 pcs]
A ball! They would say.
Ask them to keep guessing and hopefully, one will say..
MOON!
Explore:
1. Ask about the colors of the moon.
2. How far it is from the earth.
3. Ask about the moon surface. Is it smooth? Bumpy?
Take the styrofoam moon and poke with the back of whiteboard markers.
Let's make our moon with the puffy paint.
Create craters as well.
Explain:
Talk about how stars (big word would be meteorites) hit the moon.
This is why moon has craters.
Earth is protected by a shield (big word: atmosphere).
I always skip the BIG words.
Throughout the class, glorify Allah.
La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.

Tukar Skrip YES
Start small and consistent.
Choose one expression a week.
For example, this week's stylish word is: Of course.
Setiap kali anak ajukan soalan dan permintaan, ubah jawapan dari YA kepada 'Of course.'
Senyum :)
Ibu ayah memudahcara perolehan bahasa Inggeris anak-anak dengan memodelkan penggunaan 'of course'.
Usaha kecil dibuat berterusan akan mendatangkan hasil.
InshaAllah :)

Ilmu yang Memberi Manfaat ada 7 Ciri
Saban hari kita keluar rumah mencari sesuatu bagi memenuhi hajat.
Ada yang pergi belajar.
Ada yang jadi saudagar.
Ada yang masuk melapor diri.
Ada di rumah menjadi suri.
Alangkah indah apabila rutin harian menepati garis panduan yang disukai ArRahmaan.
Antara kewajipan seorang hamba ialah mengenal Pemiliknya supaya cinta dan taat serta takut akan kemurkaanNya.
Caranya, seorang hamba itu perlu memburu ilmu dan berguru. Ilmu bukan sebarang ilmu, ilmu yang memberi manfaat itulah yang di arah tuju.
Di dalam kitab Hidayatus Salikin tulisan Syeikh Abdus Samad al Falimbani, iaitu kitab terjemahan dan tambahan kepada kitab Bidayatul Hidayah, sebuah kitab ringkasan terhadap kitab Ihya' Ulumiddin karangan Hujjatul Islam Imam al Ghazali rahimahullah ta'ala,
ada tujuh kriteria bagi mengukur apakah ilmu yang dipelajari itu benar bermanfaat atau sebaliknya.
"Dan ilmu yang memberi manfaat itu ialah
(1) barang yang menambah takutmu akan Allah,
(2) menambah pula dalam penglihatan hatimu dengan kecelaan dirimu,
(3) menambah pula dalam pengenalanmu akan ibadah kepada Tuhanmu Yang Maha Mulia dan yang Maha Tinggi,
(4) mengurangkan akan gemarmu kepada dunia,
(5) menambah gemarmu kepada akhirat,
(6) membukakan mata hatimu dengan yang membinasakan akan amalmu hingga engkau memelihara diri daripadanya, dan
(7) memperlihatkan engkau atas tipu syaitan dan perdayanya."
Renung dalam-dalam.
Apakah yang kita kejar selama ini, atau usahakan untuk dikejar anak-anak kita memenuhi tujuh ciri di atas.
Moga kita dan anak cucu cicit dijauhkan dari kesibukan yang tiada penghujung dan langsung tiada untung.
Semoga apa yang dicari membawa manfaat memenuhi hajat hidup akhirat.
wabillahittaufiq.
Assalamualaikum ibu ayah soleh dan musleh!

Today I want to share my favorite video in the ICS DVD set.
I know you know this song, inshaAllah.
Antara 'nursery rhymes' wajib masa budak-budak dulu.
Love the animation! πππππππ
Love the new lyrics! πΆπΌπΆπΌπΆπΌπΆ
Above all,
I love the message in this song. Subhanallah! πππ
Inspired by ayat 190-191 of Surah Ali 'Imraan.
Bagi yang baru kenal ICS,
selamat berkenalan!
Kita guna bahasa Mat Saleh untuk beramal soleh.

Apa Target Mu?
Pagi! Khusus bagi ibu ayah yang berhajat si cilik soleh selesa berbahasa Inggeris, saya kongsikan langkah pertama:
# KENALPASTI target penguasaan bahasa yang mahu dicapai #

1. Novice (Beginner): Kategori ‘tidak cukup makan.’ Payah berinteraksi, banyak menggunakan isyarat. Novice sukar memahami dan difahami.
2. Survivor (Intermediate): Cukup makan. Namanya ‘survivor’, kemahiran bahasanya cukup untuk tidak kelaparan. Boleh menjawab soalan asas dengan kosa kata terhad dan ‘grammar’ yang huru-hara. Contoh ‘survivor’ ialah pekerja Nepal yang datang ke Malaysia.
3. Conversationalist (Advanced): Makanan mencukupi. Just nice. Boleh dibawa bersembang, soalan diaju dapat dijawab. Walaupun ada cabaran ‘grammar’ namun ia tidak mencacatkan pemahaman. Ini tahap selesa berbahasa. Perbualan sekitar tanya khabar, keluarga, diri sendiri.
4. Debater (Fluent): Ibarat makan ‘buffet’ banyak juadah dan kerap ditambah. ‘Debater’ bukan bermaksud pendebat. Di tahap ini, yakin memberi idea dan hujah. ‘Grammar’ yang rumit dikuasai dan susunan ayat ada variasi.
5. Native (Mother Tongue): Bahasa ibunda.
Penting, kita tetapkan target yang betul.
Ini namanya 'the shaping process.' Supaya kita tidak cepat melatah dan mengalah dalam usaha membantu si cilik soleh selesa berbahasa Inggeris.
Lagi bagus, kita mula dahulu.
Apa target mu, wahai ayah dan ibu?
