James, you only take PSLE students ? Do you have P4,P5 students ? Any comments about CASCO lower block science workbooks ?

I teach only P5/P6 students (other levels are covered by other specialists) because the work is now tougher and some questions/concepts are from O Levels Pure science and Sec Maths (due partly to use of calculator). Of course I also teach O levels and IP students that's why I know these are Upper sec level questions/concepts.

Generally the new syllabus CASCO Books (both Upper block and Lower block) are up-to-date and suitable for students.

Did you also, write any assessment or test books ?

I have my own materials posted online and many parents send email request to get my PSLE Materials. I don't write books, there are too many titles in the marketplace already and some old ones are destined for the rubbish bins, these days, anyone can write and publish their own books if they have the money. I was on TV program on Channel Newsasia though, this is better for me than rewriting the same facts or summarising textbooks. No one creates new Science though, usually just repackage old facts into new books. I however respect the professional book publishers such as CASCO and EPH that produce new titles to cover new Science syllabus to help students to cope with their learning and practice.

Hi James,


I saw a book by Teachers @ Work… called "Science Process Skills - A Complete Resource of Commonly Tested Concepts" by Angeline Tan.

Any idea if it is good ?

The emphasis is going to be on process skills for the new science syllabus. So go get these CASCO books to practise;


Classroom Science Process Skills New Syllabus Upper Block Book 1(P5) and Book 2 (P6), $8.95 each. Maybe cheaper at Popular Bookfair or with 20% discount coupon.

James,

Casco has a new series of science books.... called 100% Science Process Skills Lower Block (P3 & P4). The lady at Casco bookshop told me that this is a newer \"production\" than the classroom series. Any idea ?
