Hi Janet,


I bought Learning Science an introductory, preparatory course by SAP to my dd on top of P1/2 con.science book. KSP .

Forgot to get Conquer Science P1/2 when I was at Popular...will prob hold on till June for that 20% discount. Focus is on son now as SA1 is in May.
Learning Science is not bad...has higher order questions on skills and applications to score marks esp in open-ended.

A friend just recommended me this title for revision for P6 (there are 2)...supposed to be very close to PSLE format.

This one is for Q&A. There are 4 books altogether.
I will go and take a look but doubt I will get anymore books.

Would like to check how many periods of Science lessons in your child’s timetable?


P3/P4 only 2 hours of Science lessons each week. P5/P6 2.5 hours. Seem very little, enough to cover entire syllabus?

Yes, just checked with my DD - she also has only 4 lessons each 30 minutes for Science lesson every week.

My teacher gives 3-4 hours of science every week. I think is alright... :lol:

Syllabus can complete esp if using pathetic school textbooks.
But cannot guarantee passing...pupils need to read extensively if they want to do well.

Daughter brought home her English worksheets...one of which is on Animals body coverings and I was like :? isn't this Science ? P3 Diversity chapter on Animals and their body coverings like fur, scales and hair.
Ok, I am convinced to get the Conquer Science in June (20% discount).

Son had a question for his P5 CA1 Science. What is the function of the umbilical cord ? That isn't taught in his textbook, although there is a chapter on 'Reproduction in Humans'.
