Section B (open ended questions) for science

[JS rolling]

hi, we’ve attended CCE.education and continued on with their regular tuition. They are the only center with cognitive thinking skills and the 3 days holiday program i’ve signed up convince me that it works! . AS i see that questions are getting so hard these days, so having a class with cognitive thinking skills improvements will will benefit long term, that is what i hoped.

For primary school science, the techniques of answering section B is quite essential. There are many standard types of question like


1) what is the aim of the experiment?
2) How to setup a control?
3) How/ why for fair test questions?
4) How to increase reliability question?
Etc

Usually getting the child to be aware of such types of question and understand the thinking process to apply the proper techniques will help immensely in improving their scores

Schools teach
C - Claim
E - Evidence
R - Reason
It's basic structure / process in science research. Nothing hard.

Keep it simple.

unfortunately, it's not as easy as it sounds, everyone use CER, but most people in my DS's class still do badly. like reasoning, most people are not able to get the right reason.

Hi, any parents who signed up for CCE’s open ended course joins the "Higher order thinking questions" as well?

is it worth it? Do any parents know if there are similar classes in other centers?

Hi,

I was looking at my primary school kid's question paper and the answer looks right to me, but he didn't get marks for it. Am I missing something or is my kid not studying enough? This is not the first time this is happening.

Since his grades have been dropping I want to send him to a good tuition center for science. Any suggestions?

I believe the question is asking for the differences in the dispersal method but the answer is about the differences in the seed.

Didn’t the school teacher go thru the paper with them & make them do corrections?

Anyway, this is what I think: his answer is only half correct so didn’t get any marks. Need to link the physical characteristics back to how it relates to the dispersal method.

Eg. A has a wing-like structure to allow it to be carried by the wind, and be dispersed over long distances. B has hooks to allow it to cling onto animals’ fur and be carried away from the parent plant.

Tuition centre may be able to teach the child the correct way of answering. But if u prefer to save money, I highly recommend this shortcut book PSLE Science Sketchnotes, which my son has been using. It basically summarizes every PSLE topic into 1 full colour page. Everything that the kid needs to know is on that page, just memorize and throw back to the teacher during exam.

The book is so popular that it is out of stock doe the 2nd time. But u can email the author and request for re-print of another batch:
