TIA , have a nice weekend !

They are clearly wrong. If its from the school e-learning portal, I would write a note to the school teacher.

Btw, I found several issues with the school holiday homework (June) in the elearning portal in different subjects. I am not confident that they are well scrubbed through. Quantity != Quality

hi qms, jedamum, ramgee, jacplace
Thanks for your replies and confirmation. The online portal is actually from MC, which also supplies school text books. We have to pay for the online assignment, but with this quality..., makes us wonder whether it's worth it.

Will take this up with the school teacher to highlight the quality issue.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Please let us know if you hear anything from the school.

Shall check with my boy whether he has seen these questions. His school also subscribe to MC Online.

I came across this question


Caterpillar was kept in a air-tight glass bottle. The question is: Would the caterpillar grow into pupa? Explain your answer.

My DD’s answer is No. Caterpillar needs air, food and water to grow into pupa.

Is this answer correct? I thought the answer should be there is no air, food and water in the glass bottle.

Kindly share your views.

Thank you in advance.

Err....what's the difference between your answer and her answer? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/ajbnzer/Smiley/thinking.gif\">

this is a p3 sci question, so the answer is as per ur dd's answer.
\"No, the caterpillar needs air, food and water to grow into pupa, since there is no air, food and water for the caterpillar in the glass bottle, it cannot grow into a pupa.

but if the same question is in the p5 or p6 exam, the ans should be basing on which stage of the caterpillar it is, that is whether it has just hatched into caterpillar (early stage) or just going to be a pupa (late stage).
if it is still at early stage, the caterpillar cannot grow into pupa because the caterpillar has to feed on many leaves to grow bigger until it reaches the pupa stage as no food is eaten at the pupa stage.
if it is at the late stage of the caterpillar, it means the caterpillar has already eaten enough food to grow into a pupa so it will become a pupa and still survive as no food is required in the pupa stage.

hope it helps to clear ur doubts..

Haha. Science here looks very tricky to me. That is why wanted to get clarification.
