Hi All!


I think we need to do experiments at home with ur kids.Its makes our kids to be interested in Science.We can take books like \"science in kitchen\" in children (7-9) section.

When I was flipping the books,One boy came with his mother, asking the mother \"Is it science interesting,I hate sci cos need to write a lot\". :shock:

Hi All!

Yesterday, I went to popular.I flip through some Science assessment books.I took Ulimate guide and Science Explorer by Ace.My son was nagging me to stop as he can't stand for long time.

Somehow this 'misconceptions' part sounded familiar but just couldn't remember where I saw it...yes, Science Explorer has a section on this.
My son's school is using Science Explorer by Ace Publishing as 'add on' to supplement the pathetic Perfect Match workbooks.
If you wait till year end, it's more worth while as there will be 20% discount off.

Hi Champion!
Could u pls tell me which is the following eph booster book?What did he refer the above book or different?

Peony:

Please do not regret buying the eph booster book.
My DD scored above 90 for science in P3 and 4 and she used that book a lot. The experiments there is useful for section B questions - the observation and conclusions can be used as answers for section B.

For science 1 book is not enough - I have many and I find this is one of the better ones.

I saw PALS are here booster is very thick book 30$.

I have this title (My Pals are Here Science Booster) at home...in fact both A and B. It's interesting if meant to introduce kids to Science as pages are very colourful. However, it's insufficient as a text. Being new to Science then, I bought these books thinking it would be helpful but they are now left in 'cold storage' Money wasted :moneyflies: can't say anything or hubby will nag.

Like what Peony mentioned, 1 guide book for Science is definitely not enough. The basics to own are 1) Ultimate Science PSLE (save money as it's 2-in-1), 2) FAQ (both upper and lower block).

No worries. As a bedtime story book, it's too 'heavy'. But insufficient as a textbook. Really should have combed through more carefully before getting it...but then, no experience getting Science guide books. Thanks to KSP, I've bought good recommendations. :lovesite:
