Does anyone ask ur kids to explore through website to find info for the OE qn?I prefer that method but take more time and my son addict to computer.He can't search long time he will switch to game.How to manage this?

So I prefer to give books then he can read.But information in each book is less (I think,I didn't go through much).
What is ur opinion?
I feel we cannot hold hand,make them independent learner,but don't know how to make it possible.

Hi smartmummy,

Yes, somethime we can't find the relevant info. in the Guide Book then has to google and find the information.

I also prefer books that e-book but somethime not choice too!

:thankyou: Brenda!

Is it this one?

That's the one...I saw but didn't consider it at all.
Science Explorer by Ace has concept map for different chapters...you should check it out during year end 20%. The chapter on 'Diversity' P3 has a concept map. For eg classification of mammals, birds, fish for eg. Take a peep when you visit Popular and then get it during year end 'sale'.

Hi Janet,

:moneyflies: :moneyflies: the moment I step into Popular Bookstore just now!

I intend to buy only the following:-
(1) Learning Science (Book 2) by SAP
http://i53.tinypic.com/smrdd5.jpg\">

but accidentally saw this book and flip through it - :yikes: goodness, there was one question that came out in my DD1's school 2010 CA2 paper! So, as if I \"found treasure\" - without hesitant grab it walk to the cashier!
(2) Primary 3/4 Longman Practice: Science Process Skills [Paperback] by Longman
http://i55.tinypic.com/2ymc8d2.jpg\">

Came home and when DD1 saw me carrying the Popular Bookstore plastic bag, give me a :roll: :roll: look and said, \"Dear Mummy, Science Assessment Book again? Do you intend to buy all that are available in the store :? :? \" :rotflmao: :laugh: :rotflmao:

Hi SAHM_TAN! :celebrate:
I can't resist buying especially if the questions I have not came across before or if I happened to see it before and looking for the answer!

Certainly hope that the authors/publishers will come up with a more comprehensive Science Guide Book; I have not found one but the Ultimate Science Guide is the nearing that I can find for the moment! :salute: :celebrate:

:thankyou: Brenda![/quote]Hi smartmummy,

I will collate a few inquiries and then surf the internet and bookmarked all relevant sites for him to read in one seating. My definition of independent learner is that he is able to read through his own textbooks, workbooks, worksheets and assessment books/guides with minimal supervision from me.

Hi Champion,

I have the second book.
Have not have the time to go through it as we just worked on the first book (pic above) for this CA2 and part of the SAP Process skills. Will be leaving this book for next year as we have not completed the diversity portion for Learning Science assessment book.

Hi SAHM,
Very soon, those authors will also want to earn your money. HaHaHa.
But honestly, this Science assessment is good...there is usual chapter as well as another 'higher order' one which has challenging questions.
I plan to get this title again when daughter goes to P3.

When I come across Science assessment which has questions set in different format although testing the same concept, I will fall prey too. :oops:

Hi Janet! :hi5:


I was like wanting to :siam: e assessment books section whenever I am in Popular Bookstore

But now another \"good\" excuse coming up but \"come with a price\"! :sad:

Dd1 din score well for her CA2 - she told me, \"Mummy, teacher said must do more assessment books in order to improve!\" :skeptical:

I really :stupid: for hearing such comments from the T :rant:

Don't be too hard on yourself. Easier said than done...as a working mum, you are really dedicated. I :salute: your dedication as well as other FTWM here. Not easy at all.

I am more excited getting a good assessment than anything from dept stores :evil: Your daughter's teacher seems rather ON with the students. My son's Science teacher is not the type who tells the students to practice more.
