Science topics - Different school, different topics. Why?

If parents really want their child to score in Science, at least Band 1 85 marks and above, it’s possible! Go through the Science text books with your child, explain on the concept parts that you child needs clarification before allowing your child to practise as many past year exam papers as possible. Any mistakes made, must go through with the child and let the child understand why the child made that mistake. With lots of exam paper practice, your child can score in Science.

From P3 Science to P4 Science, there is a slight jump in difficulty. P3 Science is more of memorizing while P4 Science is a mixture of memorizing and application.is it true that there is a jump in difficulty of Science concepts -

Agreed. Misconceptions need to be cleared. For example simple ones like spider is not an insect, batteries do not store electricity, the definition of terms like reproduction and live births etc. -

I can't remember the title right now, someone posted the title of the guide bk that has a list of misconceptions in the science guide thread. I know some schools will have science briefing in P3 and address such misconceptions too.

Spider has two body parts and eight legs. An insect has three body parts and six legs found on thorax. Spider is not classified as an insect. P3 students must know this fact for exam purpose.

P3s will start with Diversity…after that, it’s anybody’s guess for the 2nd part of the year. Son did System (plant/human) but daughter will be taught Cycles. So we had to get P3/4 assessment books.
