Q&A - P4 Science

[smartmummy]

jacsplace:

My dd scored 28.5 out of 50 for CA1. I'd like to help her score at least 10 points more for SA1.


If your dd/ds is doing well in p4 science, can you share how he/she is doing so?

Is it because dw/dh is good in science and thus able to help your kids by explaining the concepts?

Does your dd/ds have tuition? Can you share which tuition centre it is or is it one-to-one home tuition?

What books do you use to supplement the school text/work books?

Did she well in p3?
does she like science?
we did some practicals at home.so he can understand clearlyHe love to do experiments.
i learned from my son's mistakes.and correct him the answering techniques.
check the past papers and figure out what they are expecting from a specific theme.do mcq assessment books then go to OE.
different method works for different kids.

Hi,

I find Renee Chong's science companion and Janet sim's three-in-one is good. You can take a look when you go to popular next time. Science practice (forgot the author, I dont have that book) is good too. If I am not wrong, MC publishers. Do you have ultimate science guide book? Although I am not using it frequently, I will use it to check certain things if the answer in the assessment book is wrong.

By the way, my DD is also going to MSLC Science but now the topic they cover is different from the school and she could not cope. In other words we totally ignored the MSLC worksheets for timebeing. Few students in my DD's class scored full marks (including my DD) in CA1. By the way, the topic tested in my DD's school is not taught in MSLC yet. So I believe the tuition is not necessary if you have those assessment books. I have several other assessment books but hardly use them. You can also try nail those MCQs.

Anyone knows how to explain the following?


What is the difference between heat & temperature?

[jedamum]

Heat is a form of energy while temperature is a measurement of how much heat there is in a substance.
