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:

yes thank you. this is the issue, it's not easy for many of the kids to know what to write. I need help changing their mindset.

his PSLE is approaching, and tuition has not help thus far. I need someone who can change his thinking soon. Although it's not easy i know

I share your frustration. Did he get his corrections done with his teacher yet? Perhaps try to look through what was different from his answers?

I was told by the science HOD from my kid’s school that magnetism passing through non-magnetic objects is no longer in syllabus since many years ago… I wish it was clearer what is in/no longer in syllabus…
