Thank You sleepy,


I just want to find out how do you feel about the contents?

It's quite wordy. Content seems good to me.

HI Champion,

I told my son to get the topic on 'States of matter' done this morning in Learning Science...very disappointed as there were so many mistakes :mad: Definitely don't expect this kind of results esp since it's Lower Block.

Hi Janet! :hugs:
Probably this topic is learnt in P3 so he might have \"forgotten temporarily only\"! So no worries for the moment

I was at Popular JP yesterday to get some stationery and walked over to the assessment books section. Saw the following new assessment book by Janet Sim:-

The store is prettiy crowded so only manage to take a snap of the cover and flip thru few pages...The questions are quite the same as the \"Frequently Asked questions\" and this time round the answers are printed at the back of the book. Only saw the lower block but believe the upper block will be out later too!

Hi Champion,

'States of Matter' is under 'Cycles' and that was taught last year.
How could he have forgotten so fast ? :rant:

He has 4 days at home including the weekend...I'm yearning for a day at Orchard but with so much hw from school, it doesn't quite seem possible Furthermore, the 2 tutors were sick last weekend, so they want to make-up as well.

I was at Popular IMM last night to get some stationery BUT didn't walk towards the assessment book section :rahrah:
Janet Sim seems to be very active of late...thought the FAQs were good enough, didn't expect more from her. If I'm not wrong, there is also a new PSLE edition (red cover).

Hi Janet,
Just went thru the e-mail from my DD1's Science T - Yeah, she too - will only having \"States of Matters\" in next year P4 Term 1! But her tuition centre has started them with this topic so I hope DD1 can pick up some \"keywords\"!

:hugs: Me too - wish to take a break and go \"me-alone\" shopping but today is my domestic helper's off-day so I have to \"take over the duty\"!

Yeah - think I know which the one you referring; am trying not to get anymore Science Assessment books but rather hope more authors will come out with Science Guide Books! - only notes no MCQs or OE questions!

Hi Champion,

Since your maid is having her off day today, you should also take a break. We used to go out when maid had her off day...usually just half a day and return home before she does.

I really have enough of Science assessment books...now using up both upper/lower block of the same title 'Learning Science'. Only left with Helen Lee's 'electrical circuit'...plan to keep that for his SA2 revision.
As for guide books, I don't mind those with questions from other authors but have KEYWORDS in BOLD as well as the breakdown of marks for both MCQs and OE.

[phtthp]

so far which are some of the Science books that you have come across with KEY words ?

I’m wondering, if combine and extract Janet Sim’s lower and upper block, FAQ, would that be sufficient as a first cut science guide book?

Hi sista,

Good afternoon.

I also saw this book at Popular this morning! The cover looks nice and there were total 11 topics with 2 revision worksheet each.

Hi SAHM_TAN,
JMHO - feel that the FAQ lower and upper block by Janet Sim is more appropriate for revision wise after going thru the school syllabus, follow by reading thru the guide book (eg Ultimate Science Guide).

So far, for my own experience - Ultimate Science guide is the most comprehensive one at the present moment I do have a few other to refer to especially I am a slow learner so I need to refer \"here and there\" before I can grasp the concept

Ok, for a start, perhaps can try the following book that I search from the webpage:-

\"Everyday science is written by a team of experienced and dedicated science teachers who saw the need to make links to what children learn in the classrooms and the real world around them. The book is an attempt to help children make sense of scientific concepts by relating them to their everyday lives. This book follow the adventures of Cartoon characters and is written using simple language pictures so that children will find the explanations and activities easy to follow.\"
