Hi James,


How do you revise this workbook with your students ? I noticed the workbook is organised in Life Science, Physical Science etc and not topic by topic like the text book/guide book. Still trying to figure out what is the best way to guide my kid in using the workbook.

Thank you.

Doing Life Science first, handle tougher Physical Science section later, then do the exam papers. PSLE covers P3 to P6 work, so more than 80% of PSLE topics are completed, left only some P6 \"Energy\" and \"Interaction\" topics to cover, so most students are prepared for PSLE, which is only 8 months away.

Anyone know which guide books are better? Ultimate science guide or My pal booster science?

Buy both. These are useful science resources.

Hi,


Anyone heard of the Marshall Cavendish science guidebook, is it any good?
:?

Hi, I was browsing through the Science assessment books for my dd at Big Book Shop. There was really a wide range. I used to teach upper primary science but using the old syllabus so was pretty out of touch.


I noticed that the styles of questions are quite similar still though the topics had been changed or sort of "re-shuffled" over the levels. My concern is: are those books that state "commonly-tested" questions worth buying? Are they sufficient to equip them for PSLE? Will the kids be so "trained" in answering "commonly-tested" questions that they simply regurgitate their answers and could not think out-of-the-box and apply the concepts to the more non-routine types of questions.

Any recommendations on books that set interesting, good, non-routine questions that will really assess the kids and make them apply their concepts?

James,

Casco has a new series of science books.... called 100% Science Process Skills Lower Block (P3 & P4). The lady at Casco bookshop told me that this is a newer \"production\" than the classroom series. Any idea ?

Yes, I would like to know too. Anyone had purchased and used these books? Thank you.

Dear parents.. any suggestions / recommendations on what series of science guide books to buy ? I was @ Popular and am overwhelmed by the large range... thinking of doing some HW myself before I really make any purchases..
Thanks for all the tips in advance ... :celebrate: appreciated

Buy EPH Ultimate Science Guide Book. All my students doing PSLE have at least the EPH Ultimate Science and plus EPH's Sec 1 and Sec 2 science guides for reference because many science experiments can be explained or found in the EPH's Sec 1 and Sec 2 guides, in fact my student's parent was shocked that the question from Maha Bodhi's P5 SA2 on why a thick glass mug will crack when hot water is poured into it and not a thin glass mug, that the exact answer/explanation is in EPH's sec 2 science guide word for word.

Agree there are lots of guide books. Usually I get more than 1. And I choose those with concept maps. I get I-Science Text in addition to sch My Pals are Here Text.


EPH
I know they have with CD. I think it cost $99. I didn’t get it but I like it. It should be like LEAD (sch e-learning portal).

I also get Everything about Science. This is all experiments type of questions.
