CAP science lab questions
make sense once you have done the lab
For Grade 9 only. Two days to do, by hand, the Grade 7 – 9 key experiments chosen from a statistical review of the last ten years of CAP papers, with a fast theory review and past CAP lab questions.
- Feb 9 – 10, 2027
- 2 consecutive days
- Grade 9 only
- Anping, Tainan
§ 01
Why
Lab questions do not test memorized steps.
They test judgement you get from doing.
CAP science questions often put an experiment into the question: how to use the apparatus, how to read the data, how to control variables. Students who have only read the steps in a textbook get stuck when the scenario changes. In two days they do, by hand, the key experiments that ten years of CAP papers point to, and check them against past CAP lab questions, so lab questions stop relying on memory.
§ 02
Who
Grade 9 only: a lab review before the CAP
A good fit
- ✓Grade 9 students sitting the 2027 CAP exam
- ✓Few labs at school, often losing marks on lab questions
- ✓Understand the theory but get stuck on lab scenarios
- ✓Want to connect Grade 7 – 9 experiments before the final push
§ 03
Design
Do it, understand it, see how CAP tests it
- 01
Key experiments, done by hand
The key experiments are chosen from a statistical review of the last ten years of CAP papers, and every student does them by hand. Not videos, not just demonstrations.
- 02
Fast theory review
Each unit starts by making the principle behind the experiment clear, then students do it.
- 03
Matched to past CAP lab questions
The handbook collects past CAP lab questions by unit, so students see how each experiment is tested right after doing it.

Finished the experiment?
Do it again at home
The experiments in the handbook come with STARK Digi-Lab digital demonstrations. Where the titration ends, how the pH jumps: drag once and see it.
- Acid-base titration
- Metal reactivity
- Reaction rate
- Buoyancy
- Image formation by lenses

FAQ
Questions parents ask
- QMy child has little lab experience. Can they keep up?
- Yes. Every experiment starts from how to use the apparatus, with a teacher guiding throughout. No lab experience is needed.
- QWhy is it for Grade 9 students only?
- The course reviews the experiments across the whole Grade 7 – 9 CAP syllabus and runs in the Grade 9 winter break, for students preparing for the CAP exam.
- QDo we need to bring any lab materials?
- No. The fee includes all lab materials, and lab coats are provided in class. Your child just needs to show up.
- QHow is lunch handled?
- Lunch is included in the fee. If your child has any dietary needs, please let us know on LINE.
