Happyh,

(And also not sure, two years later, I must buy upper block ultimate science or PSLE ultimate science. Appreciate any feedback on this. Thank you.)

As what you mentioned above, maybe you can ask G Tan. As I only went through p3 with my DS, so still way to go to find out more. :roll:

Ok, Thank you.

Hi Mychildren & Champion

Thanks for your recommendations!! :please:
Really need spend some time at Popular to browse thr' the books..

Can I just check with all of u if doing all these science assessment books at home suffice? Do they also read other kinds of encyclopedia to brush up their knowledge?

Sorry alittle :offtopic: - do your kids also go for enrichmt/tuition?
Any good recommendations for interesting Science classes for lower primary to generate their interest and expand their general knowledge?
(The science enrichment classes threads are pretty inactive..)
Hope no monitors will :spank: me for going off topic...

Dear G Tan or Janet,


Do you have any idea reg the following?

Ultimate science guide lower block + upper block = PSLE ultimate guide

Is it correct? Or PSLE ultimate guide has more info than lower and upper block?

Thank you in advance.

iLoveChubby,


Hi, my DS did not attend any tuition. I am his tutor.

I only used top school papers on him but selectively chose those questions that are tested. (I did not ask him to do every papers.) I don't like double work and extra work. This is because find that no point asking the kids to do similar questions again and again. Wasting time if had already grasped the concept.

Also read the guide book with him on topics to be tested before his CA and SA. I went through those mistakes he made in his class tests or worksheets in order to find out where are his weak areas, then used the guide to strengthen these weak areas.

You can do some of the simple experiments at home with him. They are interesting like getting some magnets with different poles to let them play with and understand.

Think this is better than going for tuition or enrichment once a week. :evil:

Replying to your question, I did not use any encyclopedia.

Just to add on, I did used the Iscience enrichment p3&4 before SA2. As I found this book during that time. Find that this book is good as it is colourful and simple to understand. Indeed it aroused the interest of my younger DS as he is the type that likes to read comics and not interested with books full of words.

Hope what I have written can help you.

Maybe Champion can help to download the picture here as I don't know how to do it except by taking photo and downloading it.

No point wasting money to buy separate books...just get the PSLE Ultimate Guide.

Hi Ilovechubby,
My hubby & I coach son for Science...lots of practice to be done when he started P3. When son is in school, I read up the guide books and the past year exam papers to find out how questions are asked and answered. Not all schools have good papers...some schools exam papers have certain questions which are worth reading...so I copy the answers for exposure. But some schools papers are must-do.
