Science Guide Books

[janet88]

I wanted to be kiasu and pop down at 11am to grab some books...but my son has to complete his tuition hw in the morning. Hope to get some good buys after dropping him offfor tuition later

Anyone came back from the member's sale yet?

Someone from the thread BOOKFAIRS updated that the queue is super long, advised us not to go… maybe becos today is 1st day and for members only…

I was back from the sale. Queue 3.5 hr at the cashier. Some SAP books $1 - 3.

Basically assessment books and stationery 25% and story books 50% if you spend over $120/-.
By the way if you spend over $200, you can redeem a Barbie umbrella from the mall customer Service at level 2.

By the way one of the reasons for the long queue was two cashier counters were down. Hopefully they get it fixed tonight and the traffic flow for tomorrow is better

Was at popular and bought the EPH science exam booster notes by Carol Phua which dd chose. It is an easy read with lots more information included. It includes experiments with analysis, observation and explanation.


I personally dislike the "Everything you need to know About Science" because it is too ‘cheem’ for a child to read on her own.

Hubby insisted to take a look...the queue was so long and hardly moving.
That was about 6. After 10 min, we left the place. There was no proper queueing system at all. Kinda anticipated this but didn't expect it to be so bad. Tired shoppers had to sit on whatever they could to rest their feet. Wasted my trip there :rant: this is for members and already so bad...it will be worst when opened to public.
If management had wanted to close down popular city sq store, it should have brought all the stuff to expo sale.

That title 'everything you need to know about science' is way too difficult for a child. Instead of stimulating interest, I think it is the opposite.

Don't know whether this is the correct one? Unable to find one in the webpage

Yes, the notes will be a bit more challenging and in-depth for the child to read on her own. For myself, just my own opinion only --- it is more like a reference book which I read up on my own and to help DD1's with certain questions which need further understanding and elaboration.

Newuser,
Want to ask...if don't spend up to $120, are the assessment books any cheaper than those in store ( with standard popular 10% off). If not, then won't make a trip purposely as I have no intention to buy so many.

Hi Champion,

Yes that's the one. I couldn't find the image yesterday on their web. May want to grab the upper block before they stop publishing it. :oops:
