Hi!... would like to chk if anyone has used the following Science Guide Books for LOWER BLOCK before and have any comments :


1) Everything you need to know about Science (EPH - by Patricia Chan)
2) Ultimate Science Guide Book (EPH - by Low Wai Cheng..)
3) Science EXAM Booster Notes (EPH - by Carol Phua)
4) My pals are here - Science Booster Volume A (Marshall)

I was thinking of getting just 1 relevant, user friendly guide book to coach my kid (and myself!) at home but pretty clueless which to get...
I find (4) looks the most \"friendly\" in terms of the layout but the pricetag is also very \"friendly\" as compared to the rest...

Ultimate Science is a must have! In fact, it is on NYPS booklist. Suggest you to get at least 2 guide books.

Hi mummy so kiasu!
Thanks for your recomm! Yes i just purchased 2 books! The Ultimate Science and Science Booster by MC ... hmm time for me to start studying all over again!... :imcool:

I really like the ultimate science guide. Many of the hands-on experiment are questions that came out of my school exams. Do any of you have any recommendation on other related books or the ‘secondary version’ of the ultimate science guide? Please reply in advance. Thanks!:);3

just ‘open ceremony’ for science weekly for p3…but still premature to start.

so used renee chong’s title instead…characteristics of living things.

Recently I spotted a new science assessment book for graphs, charts etc

Quite good and I bought it… Am outside now and don’t remember the name…
It’s published in 2013…

The book is called graphs and data based questions in primary science.

So what do you look for in a science assessment book? There’s so many in the market right. how do we know which one is a good one?

Hi, need some tips from mummies who teach/taught their kids with Ultimate Science Guide Lower Block P3 & 4. Since the book title indicates for use in P3 and P4, may I know how do you use the guide to be used for P3 level at the moment or you teach them all. Thanks. :?

Hi, forestcadee, if you refer to the following MOE webpage:-
http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/syllabuses/sciences/files/science-primary-2008.pdf

Most school will start off with the theme \"Diversity\" in P3 Term 1 so perhaps you can read up topics in this theme 1st Thereafter maybe you can check with the school T what are the topics that will be covered for P3 level and follows from there.

Cheers! :hugs:

it is better to get the latest \"Ultimate Science\" guidebook!

because you'll notice that the thickness of this single latest released Science guidebook in the market is even much thicker than both (Lower block + Upper Block) combined together / stacked up together.

ie. buy this single guidebook enough -
content inside already contain both (Lower + Upper) block together, in the same guidebook.

no need to buy individually \"Lower Block\" first, then after that buy \"Upper Block\". End up got 2 books.

Hi, Champion, thanks for your quick reply and the attached MOE syllabus. But I am still a bit confusing. My dd's school is asking to buy I-Science series textbook P3 & P4 (Diversity, Systems & Interactions) at the moment. Can I say that the teacher will complete the above 3 of the 5 main themes (Diversity, Cycles, Systems, Energy & Interactions) in P3? The other 2 main themes will be covered in P4? :?
