Q&A - P3 Science

Hi Amethyst!
Thanks for the reply.My son’s school never give any notes. -
Dear All,
I am bit confused with the following. I think one mum already pointed out this earlier in one of the threads.
Plants - leaves grow/move towards the sunlight
The question is what can you infer from this picture/experiment?
Answer is
1) Living things/plants respond to stimuli (sun light)
2) Plants/leaves move towards sun light
These 2 answers are interchangably used in different books/guides. Which one is more appropriate (Living things move or living things respond to stimuli) or is it better to write both?
Thank you in advance. -

Answer 1 is more appropriate if the pictures provided clearly show a \"change\" to the plant after being subject to stimuli (sun light). That means there should 2 pictures. A 1st picture with a normal plant and a 2nd one with the same plant placed in a box with the plant growing towards a hole in the box.
Answer 2 is more appropriate if there is only 1 picture with the plant bending towards the sun. -

:thankyou: I go home and check the pictures in various books.

Totally agree with Atutor.

However, I noticed that children at P3 may not understand why or how they have to answer the question based on what was presented to them in the question. Tried explaining to them and they will get confused.
As such, I normally teach my students to be a little more detailed in their explanations.
\"The plant grows towards the sunlight as living things respond to stimuli.\"

Dear Parents
If you come across any difficult/confusing/challenging science questions, kindly share with us. So mummies can understand first.
Thank you. -

Hi,
As this is the first time my child is learning Science. Can know how to teach and making the lesson interesting?
Thank you very much. :imcool:
