Lower Secondary Science

[skyjuice]

DS is having loads of problems with S2 Physics-- the formulas aspect. Anyone has any tutor to recommend? We live in the South side, near Vivo City. The problem with Science Enrichment ctrs is that most schools teach different modules at any point in time. So it would seem private tutor is best option.


Or does anyone have a recommendation on how to self "master" Work and Pressure, Work and Moments chapters?

Here is a useful website for science notes / guidebooks:

My understanding is that it has been recommended in a number of secondary schools. Perhaps you might find the books handy too.

Hi, I understand different schools use different science textbooks. Are the topics relevant for all science textbooks?

Hello leesf,

I would like to share with you that I made an enquiry to them on your concern – which is also mine. I was told their books are updated per the latest MOE syllabus. At the moment, most schools in Singapore use one of two textbooks for Lower Secondary – Science Matters and Science Discovery which their books are in line with these textbooks. They said the children will find the books very useful – which I hope my child will have the same sentiments.

I have ordered a set from them and will self collect by my husband today.

Cheers!

I bought the full set of books, but it’s not so good as i expected.Yes the notes looks good but i think the exercise is not enough for getting good marks.

Now for my sons second term i now went popular and bought 2 assessment books.
I think like in primary schools the kids needs to practice more questions.

Hi kitty2,

Personally, I feel the notes are pretty comprehensive and easy to remember the concepts. My daughter shares the same sentiment. After each chapter, it comes with quiz questions which are good for practice. It is much better than textbook which is wordier. Besides having this book, my daughter has a Longman assignment book to expose to other types of questions.

Cheers!

Hi rubydoll,

It's good to hear your inputs. May I ask which level is your son study now?
Did your son make use of this book for his exams lately?

Cheers!

Hi ONGMUM


My son is in sec 1. I bought this book after reading from this site. My son used for his term 1 -physics.
yes the notes are good.But i now i think he needs more assessment books to practice as in psle.
I stopped buying assessment books like how i did in his psle .But after a while only i realized that is wrong.Yes longman is good for revision.
