Q&A - P3 Science
-
mummytofengkai:
...With the new science syallbus, lower and upper block...im kinda lost. My big boy going p3 next yr...Anyone care to share how u go about guiding n teaching ur kids in science esp p3. He is v interested in science which is a plus point. ...
Teaching Primary science is hard! That's from first hand experience. The way I do it is to buy a couple of \"PSLE encyclopedias\" from Popular and use them as bibles. I will then let my son work on the past year Science exams from other schools and for those questions that he gets wrong, we will zoom further into the question, relying on the PSLE handbooks and the Internet to resolve the problem.
For instance, I just came across a problem which has a similar description as the following:
\"What will happen if you place 2 bar magnets side-by-side, with 1 bar having its N-pole pointing up, and the other with its S-pole pointing up?\"
Do you think the bars will be attracted together, repel each other, or have zero effect on one another? I believe the supplied answer is wrong. -
i think the bars will be attracted together right? :?

I was quite anxious as this is the 1st yr that my girl was having Science .
Yesterday,when she was doing the revision for fungi & Bacteria, my hubby & I were busy doing research and surfing the net looking for answers. Most of the questions did'nt come from the textbook.
Do anyone know any GOOD SCIENCE ENRCIHMENT BOOK for P3.
Btw anyone know the answer :-
Beer should be classify under using Fungi or Bacteria ?
(1 book stated it bacteria, another website stated using yeast ?) :?: -
yeast is a type of bacteria.
-
Thks, you’re super fast. But I just take a look again at those science notes book I bought. Examples of fungi include mushroom. breald mould & yeast.
-
Bacteria is micro-organism but not fungus and yeast is also micro-organism but it is a fungus.
Beer is made from fungus.
Both bacteria and fungus have good and bad ones.
Food Products of fungus
Fermented wine
Soy Sauce
Beer
Bread
Food Products of bacteria
Kimchi
Cheese
Yoghurt

Yeast is used in baking bread and making beer, wine and medicines. It is a kind of fungi. As yeast are tiny living things that cannot be seen with our naked eyes, they also belong to micro-organisms.

thks for all the reply. It’s so "DEEP". Can I check with "ks2me". where do you get those information, any books to recommend ?
-
I got it from here:
http://www.slideshare.net/blueroses0805/fungi-and-bacteria-1066237
a summary of research already done for lessons to be taught. If you read all the materials related to these areas, it points back to the same thing except this one is most concise and tabulated. -
Thks ks2me. it’s quite useful. if u don’t mind I ask are you a teacher ?
