I went popular this afternoon too.

Bought the everyday science. Very easy reading, something like young scientist magazine. My dd finished it in less than 30 minutes.
Must prompt her to re-read another day. I’m usually quite skeptical, with her speed reading how many % is retained

Oh so, the New Ultimate Science Guide Assessment Book on MCQ is only for PSLE? Haha..then I will \"save $$\" need not invest to get for DD1 lioa...Unless they have one for Lower Block, then I will go look see look see this Saturday. :lol:

Hi Champion,
This book is for levels P3-6.
I don't think this book just solely on MCQ is useful. However, IF this book is on open-ended questions, I will definitely get it...bcos the answers are what we want the kids to remember, esp key words.

This thread is really helpful.


Very very "last minute holding buddha leg" as my daughter tutor just fly kite on me to take up a permanent job and I have to coach my girl instead.

Read through the thread and just bought the following during lunch today :
EPH - Science Companion by Renee Chong
EPH - Ultimate Science Guide recommended by school.

Hopefully it helps my girl in grasping the concept.

By the way, I do not understand why some parents feedback that science must answer in science language.

What do you mean by science language ?

[/quote]This book is only tested on MCQs...so you may want to consider, even though MCQs make up 60 marks.

'Science Language' means answering to questions with key words, no need for perfect grammar.

For eg. State 1 difference between the fern and the mushroom.
Answer: The fern makes its own food but the mushroom feeds on dead animals and plants.

If you refer to past year exam papers section B, slowly you will grasp the meaning of 'Science Language'. :celebrate:
