[quote=\"Peony\"]Mine just started on plant transport system...

Just checked the Longman Weekly to get my son to practice human circulatory system but it's combined with plant transport system...circulatory system includes blood as well, quite a handful by itself. Better read up this weekend.

It's good to study both together. There are many questions requiring comparison of plant transport VS human circulatory.[/quote]I know there is similarity between the 2 systems, but I thought it would better if he understands human circulatory better so as to draw the comparison.

Hi Ladies,

Can you pls advise me ?
Which chapter can I find questions relating to parts of the covered leaf containing chlorophyll…ie for eg if a leaf is partially covered with black paper and exposed to sunlight. Can’t find it under plant transport system. Thanks.

Hi Janet,


How about trying topic under photosynthesis?

But photosynthesis is not found under cycles or systems. :scratchhead:

Hi Janet

At upper block Ultimte Science Guide , Pg 159 there is a walk through experiement of \"To show that chlorophyli is necessary for photosynthesis\".
may be can help.

Thanks Brenda. I found it
Under photosynthesis chapter itself.

Seems like the upper block science guide is more useful than textbook.

Even at lower primary, the guide book is more often refer to than the textbook!

Yup, only used school text books for revision when DD was in P3 and I didn’t know any better…

I did not attend DD1's school Science workshop held somewhere in Term 2 but DD1's classmate parents feedback to me the HOD asked that parents (P3 onwards) to get the PSLE Ultimate Science guide as a reference! :scratchhead:

I did not do it as having the lower block book and so I recommend to DD1's classmate parents. Result? They think it is more comprehensive than the textbook so most agree to wait till P5 then get the PSLE Ultimate Science Guide
