Hi Champion, I have that printed but I found difficulty in the \"depth of each topic\" I mean how far we can go.... each assesment book is different..


so its up to the school....

Thank You champion.

Hi Plum-Cake,
Just shared with you briefly how I \"swim through\" from beginning of the year till this moment!

I started off with only one guide book (Science Exam Booster Notes by Carol Phua) - as per my post in this thread:-
http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6640&start=160

Then I get to e-mail my DD1's Science T - a very dedicated lady who go to the extend to tell me what are the topics she be covering for 1st Semester and the format for both CA1 & SA1. Then she recommended me to download free past years CA1 papers to have a feel how questions are being set. You can refer to this webpage:-
http://www.orlesson.org/orp/

After the CA1 - I have the feel of it and started my \"journey of sourcing Assessment & guide books\" With the help of parents from this forum like Mummy Janet_Lee and others who come forwards to share voluntarily! :grphug:

Do join us over at the Science Assessment Books thread and you will get a lot of tips! I am still learning and benefiting from many parents here! :celebrate:

Just a word of caution - do not rush to buy too many Science Assessment Books in Term 1 - you will need the \"big purchase\" from Term 2 onwards. That is my own experience as topics covered in Term 1 are not that too heavy for the P3 to comprehend.

Above just my little sharing

Is the term “transparent” introduced in the topic on Diversity of Materials?

yes, it is.

Do we always assume glass is transparent and plastic is not? :? I remember my P3 challenged the choice of answers given in either a past yr paper or a worksheet.

Hi Nebbermind,
Do you have the exact question?
Some of the answers in the past year papers and assessment books are incorrect.

glass and clear plastic are trasparent.
I hard to find the word \"transparent\" in the school text book.They use can see through.
In assessment books they use trasparent.I am not sure about pastpapers.Need to search.

I remember the qn but i don’t remember where I saw it.


The plant venus flytrap closes when fly sitting on.What characteristic of living thing is it?
I remeber there was no answer "respond to changes".
Is that the answer "living thing can grow"?
