I thought the question was about advantage of splitting over wind dispersal?

My gal commented that Science paper was easier than some top school papers , esp Booklet A:) Overall she was happy 😃
Phew! Glad the papers are finally over for her! All the best to the kids who are taking Higher Mother Tongue tmr!

If this year (2020, exiting last Tscore batch),
all 4 subjects manageable,
next year 2021 (AL) can be ... similar to this year, because is pioneering first turbulent batch AL, may give chance because everyone is so new to AL, just like this year covid, a turbulent roller coaster year

Seed dispersal refers to all the methods but splitting is one of the methods of doing so. Splitting actually leads to overcrowding overtime. So she feels that they’re asking for the specific advantages of the splitting method and not just seed dispersal in general.

Think that’s what DS understood too...

Splitting is one of the methods. Read carefully is it splitting not seed dispersal. Advantage is splitting are typically found close to the parent plant and may not be dispersed to another island.

0 marks for saying it is seed dispersal by wind… overcrowding as nothing to do with it. This year science may have change the way how we ask our kids to memorize template answer. Everyone will sure say fight for competition…

The advantage of splitting is that the seeds will get scattered even if there is little or no wind.

What is the qn? What is the advantage of splitting Vs wind?

Are you a PSLE Science marker or a PSLE Science school Teacher, pipipapipo?

This OEQ,
asking for Advantages of splitting and not ask about seed dispersal, carry how many marks ?

[Haro]

Is it possible to calculate a range of T score for PSLE based on a rough estimation of marks? More accurate to multiply total by 0.7 or 0.75? wanted to read up on which secondary sch DS might be eligible for.
