Hi Janet

Science marking is quite lenient with spelling nowadays. They are looking for understanding in the concepts instead of spelling.

Am glad to hear that!

Remember during the last SA2 revision with DD1 - there is this term and spelling that I can't get it right and DD1 always has difficult remember it - Metamorphosis under the theme \"Cycle\".

My understanding from my dd’s science teacher is that if it is a scientific term that the quesition is testing on and the student spells it wrongly, marks will still be deducted.

Hi champion,

Btw the kid do not need to know the word metamorphosis!!!

Also psle does not stress on spelling anymore even if it is keyword.

I am not doing all the experiment that are stated in lower block.
My son prefer to do all those but i never let him to do.Lazy mom.
Sometimes they(kids) gave me more chores.
He has interest to see the changes like wanted to see how to do cake/cookies or even simple dishes.When he was in kindergarten I got a good book that stated simple experiments like water to ice.So I did with my son.
Now sometimes I surf in the net or has nap he has been doing experiments his own.Sometimes I got angry but can't show too much.I don't want discourage his interest.

Now for P3/4 we did bean growing as his T said its compulsory project.He asked us wanted to grow mould in bread.I didn't allow.He asked wanted to have a snail as a pet.We ban.We did inverted a container in the water.When I saw the qns,I quite didn't understand.So we did.
I heard from my son some of his classmates has snail and mealworm as pets.

I think before P3,u can expose more simple projects/experiments to make an interest in Science subject.JMHO.

Hi BlurBee :hugs:
No worries, the Book A should be able to cover up to SA1for P3 I remember I bought the Book B only in June Holiday this year or later :? :scratchhead:

:offtopic: I read in the Chinese newspaper 晚报 regarding the Times @ Tampines 1 that they have professionals there who are able to help to access the child's weakness in the subject and make the appropriate recommendation :please: But Tampines is soooooooooooooooooo farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr for me!

Morning Champion,


How do the professionals assess the academic weak areas of the child? Does the child need to take a test on the spot? Do they charge for this service? Is it only for a period of time? Do the professional assess all school levels? Thanks.
