SAHM_TAN:
Maybe also check with teacher which is the preferred term. From what I know there are answer schemes given to markers on what is acceptable and what is not.
Ok thank you so much. -
janet_lee88:
Ok. Thank you Janet. But I personally feel, they should not reduce the marks for spelling as long as it is clear to the teacher. But what to do? If the system requires them to memorise the spelling, then we just follow. :thankyou:HI HAPPYH,
Vegetative Propagation is the 'scientific name' for reproducing by using plant parts like seed & stem. Even my son at upper primary is using 'plant parts' because it's easier to remember. For Science, once there is wrong spelling, the child will be marked wrong. -
Dear mummies,
vegetative propagagtion is no longe rin syllabus. It will not be tested in PSLE. Dont worry.
Labelling internal parts of egg an donion reproducrtion also no longer in syllabus. Pls do not ovr stress ur child… -
Hi Janet
Science marking is quite lenient with spelling nowadays. They are looking for understanding in the concepts instead of spelling. -
G Tan:

Am glad to hear that!
Remember during the last SA2 revision with DD1 - there is this term and spelling that I can't get it right
and DD1 always has difficult remember it 
- Metamorphosis under the theme \"Cycle\".

My understanding from my dd’s science teacher is that if it is a scientific term that the quesition is testing on and the student spells it wrongly, marks will still be deducted.

Also psle does not stress on spelling anymore even if it is keyword. -
