Science Guide Books

[hquek]

actually if one is looking for natural sciences, I think the comics may be of value. i recall one psle year question on how to make water if given a set of things. Thought I saw some steps being outlined in one of those survival books. Not sure if I'm hallucinating.


anyways, think those books are fairly popular becos each time there is a sale, those things disappear fast.

and now that I see the price in ringgit, I'll go jb to check out (after the finger printing mess is sorted out that is). meanwhile, I'm off to bang my head against a wall (paid $7.60, and the price in ringgit is RM10.50).

Hi Mummies,

Read from the other thread, there is this recommendation on \"Horrible Science series\"
http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=16765&start=1040

I find this link
http://www5.scholastic.co.uk/zone/book_horr-science.htm

Any parents read this before?

Hi Champion

We had bought the whole set inclusive of Horrible History and Georgraphy last year.

Total 43 books if I am not wrong but so far dd only read about 7 - 8 Horrible Sciecne and the rest are still in the box.

Hi, DD had bought a few ‘Sir Fong’s Adventures in Science’ during the school bookfair this year and seems that she like them and see her read a few times.

Hi Champion,

I think Horrible Science series appeals to students that have intense interest in this area. These books are readily available from NLB. It is better to find out if your child really will want to read it before purchasing the whole set. My child reads selected titles only; eg he only likes Energy (lightning etc)related topics, but not UFOs and Chemical etc topics.

Hi Brenda,
Is this series more suitable for upper primary students? I saw copies of it in NLB and they seemed a bit too chem (at least for me).

My dd is a huge fan of horrible science & murderous maths. I tried reading but nearly fell asleep by page 3, too dry for me. I better stick to my 亦舒小说

Hi teh_oh

I think should be suitable for upper primary since these books were sold at the school bookfair. One of the book is about \"cell\" which was primary 5 topics.
