Which are the titles under this section?

For Science, P3/P4 is classified as Lower Block and P5/P6 is classified as Upper Block. But i have not seem this LA term in use...Maybe it means Lower Assessment Block.....

To be accurate, the section reads

Science (LA pupils optional)
Perfect Match Pri 3/4 Science Guided Workbooks Systems @
Perfect Match Pri 3/4 Science Guided Workbooks Interactions @
Perfect Match Pri 3/4 Science Guided Workbooks Energy @
Perfect Match Pri 3/4 Science Guided Workbooks Diversity @
Perfect Match Pri 3/4 Science Guided Workbooks Cycles @

Doesn't look like something optional leh.

Wait, NOT old birds...EXPERIENCED birds.
But seriously, I don't know what Science LA is. Never seen it before...must be something new that HOD is planning to introduce or teach :evil:

Old bird cannot, what about young chick?

Err, something new should be good rite? Traditionally Sci is PH's weakest link (though quite good oredi lah compared to many schs).

I am not sure how useful are the SC text books. My sons never read them at home. Not sure if the teachers go thru them in school too.

Erm, i went ahead n bought them… I thought LA meant learning-assisted students. Btw prices for several of the bks are not fixed yet, so not available for sale. Quite mafan

Is that why those books are optional?

That's a new term for me. Actually I'm thinking shouldn't weaker students be given more materials for support? It's like hungrier pple getting less food. Die lah, I'm starting to sound like Janet.

Thx for the info. In that case, I'll only order in mid-Dec and hopefully can get all at one go.

What's LA? Local Anesthesia :scratchhead:


FQW,
May i know why is my name mentioned?

[Jennifer]

FQW:

In the book list for P3, there's this section labelled Science LA (optional). Now we all know what's HA, but what's LA. It cant be Low Ability rite? issit that terribly rude? (Joking only I know it's not)


Old birds pls enlighten so that I will know whether to skip or buy. Thx

Whatever the term LA means, I think the content of the Sci textbooks is not really too lousy.
