Hi Shurley197323, thanks for your reply. I am not a teacher by profession but according to many I know, they say teaching is in me like a passion. MOE \"recruited\" me before but due to personal reasons, I could not take it up.Hi,Ks2me. It's just that you sound like a expert and of course if you don't mind next time can ask you some more science question bcos I'm very lousy for my science and get a \"F\" for my O'level.
Btw, another questions :-
WHY DO MUSHROOMS PRODUCE SPORES?
Any volunteers pls.....
If you don't mind that I am not a teacher but I was a Pure Science student during my schooldays, I am still happy to answer any questions that I am capable of answering. -
Flowering plants produce flowers and they reproduce through seeds whereas non-flowering plants do not have flowers and they reproduce through spores. Mushrooms are non-flowering plants, so they reproduce through spores.

I think Mushrooms are not classified as plants. They belong to the group FUNGI. -
csc,
Yes, you are correct! Mushroom is not plant, it is classified under fungi. So, non flowering plants and fungi produce spores.[/quote] -
Thks for all the reply. I thought now as if I am going back to my school days. My girl comment that I am too anxious for her SA 1.
What to do as a parent.......

(1) Mould & ferns reproduce by spores
(2) Mould reproduces by spores but fern reporoduces by seed
My girl's answer is (1) but the paper answer is (2)
She say non flowering plants reproduce by spore not seeds. -

Ferns are vascular plants . They differ from seed plants in their mode of reproduction—lacking flowers and seeds.
At this level, I believe they will learn characteristics by grouping generally, i.e. flowering and non-flowering plants.
Just for general knowledge, conifers are exception of non-flowering but can produce seeds -
Thks Ks2me.
Anyone know where I can get the list of like which are
(1) floating plants (2) totally submerged plants (3) flowering plants
(4) non flowering plants. (5) Poisonous plant (6) non- poisonous plants
Because most of these information are not in the text book .
Sorry for being so troublesome . -
Sorry again. I got the list already from thr assessment book that I bought.
Thanks -
My son had a science test recently and one of the question is what kind of materials can be used to make schoolbags. He put down the answer as fabric and leather but was marked wrong for leather. The teacher told him that leather is too expensive and heavy to be used for schoolbags. What is your take on this?
