My eldest son was with Science Buddies for their P6 Science lessons. He was there for the last few months before PSLE. That was 3 years ago. He told me the questions there were not exactly that challenging for him.


Now my second one is going to be P5 next year, gearing him to the PSLE mode. I am also looking around for some quality programme for him.

Just read the thread below about their ScienceQuest programme. They also incorporate Concept Map to their programme. They have put up a student concept map in the thread. I found it rather impressive. Perhaps worth exploring.

I find concept maps are overated. The problems that children faces these days are not memory related problems or even concept issues, rather, they are unable to think logically and to infer answers. Primary school science concepts are not that difficult to understand.
What children lack is the ability to infer the answers and to link concepts to unfamiliar questions. For OE questions, they can't provide a structured answered in a manner that is logical and with relevance to the question. Concept maps will not resolve these issues.

My child is in Learning Lab and her science drop from 85 SA1 to 68 SA2. Her section A get 44/60 and B 22/40. I am planning to withdraw her from Learning Lab. Can anyone advise what can be done to improve her grades. Any other good science enrichment to recommend or home tutor? Which is better. Thanks.
