Is this the teachers@work book?
DD used more of the P5/P6 than P3/4 ones
I remember this book having some different questions and liked that.
But some answers/explanations were incorrect , (from the P5/6 book, I think). So do look out.

Think smartmummy mentioned she took the question out from the following book:-

Which part of a plant is needed to make food?

1. Flower
2. Roots
3. Leaf
4. Stem

DS answered 3. Leaf, but the answer sheet shows 1. Flower as the answer. Not sure why, so would like to check with the experts here. Thanks/

The correct answer should be ( 3 ) as chlorophyll are mainly found in the leaves. Of course there are special cases where chlorophyll are found in the stem, such as in cacti, the leaves are needle-like, so the stem took over the function of making food for the plant. In a vague question like this, we will take it as the answer is the leaf. This is what lower levels are expected to know. There are times where we can expect mistakes in assessment books, so do practice caution whenever we refer to the answer key provided by the books, especially in section B, where key words and key concepts are expected in the answers.

Yeah that wasthe one Smartmummy.

I like the questions in this series too. I bought the P5-6 when DD was in P5. Then thought P3/4 one since the Qs were more to the new syllabus , DD batch was the first batch to do the new syllabus - and there were hardly any books as per the new format.

Champion, u truly are an expert in finding out the books. Where were u 2 yes ago??

Hi All!


I have a qn from Conquer Sci assessment book Exercise65 Q2.

A syringe has 10ml air at first.After pushed the plunger in,the picture shows less than 10 ml.(picture showed in the book, before and after)
What is the true reading of the volume of air in the syringe after the plunger was pushed in?
Answer provided as 10 ml.Is that answer is correct?If yes why?

If we pushed in should be less than 10 ml as air can be compressed.

Smartmummy,
Managed to find the question & shall upload here for easy reference

The answers for the other questions in that science assessment books are not properly structured i.e. no focus on the keywords. Does any school use this book? I am quite sure that the question/answer is wrong.

My school didn't use or didn't recommend.I myself buy this book.Unfortunately,at that time I didn't join KSP.We just try in this book but some questions I opt cos not related to p3 level.Very difficult.From My son's school's prev. CA and SA, I can see they will test basic knowledge.
