Hi, saw this two PSLE Sciecne Assessment book (released 2011) in Popular:


- Pass with PSLE A* Science

- PSLE Thematic Challenging Science Revision Paper

Title sound attrative but may have a problem to complete it as school is reopening soon.

Hi Brenda,
I saw that title \"Pass with PSLE A* Science'' some weeks back...but didn't have time to 'examine' it...hahahaha. The Science Process Skills bought few months back are still in mint condition...thought of photocopying some questions for my son...don't want him to write on the book.

I received that too, but have stopped buying. Suggest mummies who need to get books to go there for a look. But control your purchase. What counts is quality, not quantity. Believe it or not, I really feel it this P6 year - no point getting the kids to keep doing when they already know, for the school will be doing those drills too.

True, I agree. I stopped going to POPULAR. Cos I never returned empty handed from that shop.

Yep, no see no buy! There are 101 Maths / Science assessment books out there, and the questions in quite a number of them are just more or less the same save some tweaking here and there. Those questions will be repeated in the top school papers parents buy too. And repeated again when school teacher give / tuition centre provide. :slapshead:

Hey mummies, another discovery from that guide book: it’s a myth clarification - those creepy crawlies you see near a dead animal or decaying plants are not called decomposers. They are called something else sorry I really cannot remember what but these creepy crawlies only help in breaking down decomposition. Confused? So was I!

Hee hee, I used to buy & buy but have been cutting down a lot since this year as stock too many liao. Also, months later, realised that I have bought some under the same author (different book cover tho) and contents are quite similar ----- alamak, it's reprints/newer version. :slapshead:

Have also stopped going to those book fairs at Suntec/Expo cos' put off by the crowd and long queues. :yikes: My opinion is that as the child approaches upper primary, should look at quality and not quantity. Prices at book fairs are not really worth the trip anymore, can just selectively get from the outlets.

Detritivores - eg. earthworms, snails - they feed on dead matter and break them into smaller fragments. Decomposers are the ones that can further break these down to simpler form of nutrients.

Couldn't agree more. This is my second time as a Psle mom. Our kids will have a lot of exam practise papers from Sch n tutors. They will be pumped to the max in the next 90 plus days. I had half a dozen incomplete assessments books staring back at me at the end of his Psle.
