I would think the answer is D as well, from a parent's point of view.waterlily:
DS told me the first question is as below:
What characteristics does birds have but others do not
A) It lays eggs (Playtapus lays eggs but mammals)
B) It has wings (Insects have wings as well)
C) It has a streamlined body (Fishes)
D) It has feathers on its body (only for birds)
He wrote D as answer
Imho, the answer is D. Only birds have feathers. -
Any questions from Scinece exam to share?

Please dont flame me for this, but hv to disagree on this. Generally the answers are pretty short. Examiners are looking for key words.timtim:
[quote=\"1010happy\"]My dd says that the sci paper is harder than usual, she ran out of time to check but luckily checked along the way.......she says that one question they gave two lines ton write she wrote six lines.... no wonder no time, but hopefully and agar agar the points in the six lines
It is normal....they expected long answers....my son's teacher did the same too and I always complaint why 1 mark must write so long...my goodness.
I remember dses and dds answered with 6-8 lines before in Science. They got zeroes for them. They tried to explain the concepts using plain words but no key words.
But handwriting varies, so it cld be due to word size.
Agree with whitecarrotcake, careless mistakes doesnt mean no A*. But easy also doesnt mean A* : )[/quote]True enough, handwriting size do matter. Mine is considered tiny but I still wrote 4 lines for 1 mark questions and 5-6 lines for 2 mark questions. If most of the P6 cohort found the paper hard then we may get A* lah (thank goodness for the T-score thing)
I tried to add in as many process/key words as possible, but still so long... Idk if the markers will penalise for extra info.

Accordg to dd2, the boy looked v pale and worried aft the paper. He burst out cryg when the teacher scolded him. He topped his class at the prelims. So I cant imagine what is going on in his mind.
This is a totally unacceptable behavior of a teacher.. :mad: Will her/his scolding help the boy??AppleCrumble:
[quote=\"ilovelaksa\"]Dd says a teacher was seen scolding a top boy for not finishing 2 qns from his Science paper. I thought that was uncalled for. He still has HCL tomm.
As adults not taking the PSLE, we dont know the pressure the children are experiencing in the exam. Dd's teacher did a MCQ paper with the class. She had 6 mistakes out of 30 qns. There are several in class who scored full marks.
Under such tremendous stress and expectations from teachers/parents, I think the children did admirably le.
Even if he/she feels 'what a waste' for the boy, he/she is the adult and should be matured enough to hold his/her emotions in check and not barrage the boy...
Would not one think that the poor boy is already feeling bad and disappointed as it is?? Why must the teacher 'add stone to a person who has fallen into a well ' (θ½δΊδΈη³) instead of comforting him? He is only a 12-year-old kid, for goodness sake.
This teacher should be ticked off by the Principal for his/her insensitivity !! :spank:
Sometimes I wish adults can understand that PSLE is just the first major paper in a child's school life.
Ds1 has a friend who is a top boy in pri sch expected to get 27+ but he got 24+ for PSLE instead. Had to appeal to get into sec sch. In sec sch he was top in cohort. Now in JC he is still top and doing a H3 paper. I dont think anyone remembered his PSLE score : )
PSLE journey is only the beginning ah.[/quote]I agree with all the parents here. Totally UNACCEPTABLE. I will kick up a big storm in school if I am the parent of the child. There should be no scolding on actual PSLE day. Especially if the child have more papers to sit for. On exam days, they should be provided with a positive environment and a positive mindset, not one filled with scolding. -
Balloon question: my child said kinetic energy makes the balloon move then gravitational pulls it down
Weight/spring question: my child said change to longer spring -
(I couldn't embed the quotes, still new to this
)
Which school is this? Poor boy, I pity him. That teacher should understand that 12-year-olds are still kids, and we students are not pressure cookers. There's no point crying over spilt milk, after all. The teacher should comfort the boy instead. Isn't his/her behaviour just \"η«δΈε ζ²Ή\"? The boy feels bad as it already is... -

Q1 Imho..Balloon question: my child said kinetic energy makes the balloon move then gravitational pulls it down
Weight/spring question: my child said change to longer spring
The balloon possessed Kinetic Energy to convert into Gravitional Potential Energy. Hence balloon continued to rise even after the balloon was deflated.
Q2. I think it should not be longer spring.
Change the spring into one that has lesser flexibility. So that it can receive a larger elastic spring force of up to 50kg weight limit.

My daughter, also said today paper very hard.
Seems this year PSLE paper generally quite hard for her.
Just hope for the best :xedfingers:
