did not know Casco Science Q&A is popular.

i shun away from Casco after getting their P3 Process skills (green colour too)....some of the facts inside is different from the other guides.
looks like i gonna give Casco another look

I don't have a thing for Casco Science or Fairfield...only get EPH and SAP.
Bought Fairfield once and find it shallow.

Perhaps I am too used to the format of my frequent publishers for
Science. Asked my friend for advice regarding Science guide and she recommended the whole set Casco Science Q&A (green for P3) all the way to P6 but just could not bring myself to buy them.

Hi Jedamum,
I got 100% science process skills P3. But you have mentioned that \"some of the facts inside is different from the other guides\" Is that means wrong explenations. :scratchhead: I bought that book because it does looks smart to me..
May be...later,when I actually start using the book with my dd I'll give my \" \" to this forum.

Hi I kept all P1 text books & school work sheets all these days. Now it has become a bigger family with P2 bundle. Please some one advice me, do I need to keep them or can give them away?

Thank you

TIA.

Good as all important concepts for each topic are included. Esp vy good for revision after each topic is taught to ensure good understanding of sc concepts & skills. personnaly feel that the book is very suitable for kids before trying 'TOP sch exam papers' which sometimes have a lot of amb qns & ans that may be vy confusing if the fundamental sc skills & concepts have not been built up using the assessment books.

:thankyou: bestwishes for the reply.

HappyH, plumcake,


That book termed 'glass and ceramics' under natural materials. my other 2 guides categorise glass under man-made. (i only realised after reading from this forum).
having said that, one of the other guide and assessment book that i have also has error in other chapters.
i find the Casco Process skills to have a good summary/tabulation for reading purpose, but since then i got my boy to read at least 2 guides in one sitting to 'cross-check' the facts.
just me being paranoid la.
