<![CDATA[Q&amp;A - P3 Science]]>Moderator's Note: Please use this thread to ask for help on specific questions. Please refrain from out of topic chatter in this thread to make it easier for the community to find the answers they need.


I tried to do the P3 Science exams from the top schools and... there's no way I can score 100 for it myself! It's REALLY tough considering that the kids just started science this year. Aside from learning names and stuff (thorax, abdomen, etc), the questions were focused more on application of what they learn... so it was really like conducting investigative work. A lot of the questions were really subjective.

Some examples:
1. What are the purpose of feathers on peacocks
(A) They help the peacock fly
(B) They protect the peacock's skin
(C) They are used to attract mates
(D) They keep the peacock warm

Answer:
(1) B, C, D
(2) B, D
(3) A, B, C, D
(4) C

2. A Molly:
(A) Gives birth to its young
(B) Lays eggs
(C) Is a plant
(D) Is an insect

Anyone dare attempt these questions? 😉 Play fair - no googling until you actually tried to answer.

Pine is conifer-seeds
Puff ball is spores
Bracket fungus is fungi-spores-type and not fungi-fragmentation-type

Ladder fern Is spores
Guava, papaya and tomato are seeds
Juniper is conifer-seeds

So i felt it is 4 ( b, c and d )

I am looking for reviews on these two home based tutors

Teacher Ivy - Punggol Walk Tutor
Teacher Shirleen- Sowing Seedz

Both seem to be ex Moe teachers and both teach Science and English. As I am staying in this area , I am considering these two tutors. Hope to get some feedback if any. Thanks in advance

Hi Zack’s mum

Thank you so much for compiling those P3 papers and notes. It was really useful in my revision with my kid. Just wondering if you have anything related to ‘interactions ( magnet)’ for sharing?

Science is really not the same as our times.. lol
Hi dear, sorry I didnt prepare similar notes for Lower Block Magnets topic.

Just a tip when your child moves to Upper Block (P5 and P6). I bought the PSLE 3-year series** from EPH publisher with guided model answers. Analysed how to phrase the answers together with my child. That seems to work for us at P5 and P6 level.

** i’m referring to the Yearly version (not the Topical version which I found pretty useless since it is split into only 2 broad topics - Life Science & Physical Science).

Hi fellow P3 parents. I am in the process of preparing revision material for my son’s August CA2 (topics tested are “Exploring Materials” and “Your Amazing Body as a System”).

Because:

(i) the Science topics tested by different schools are all jumbled up in sequence, depending on which topics the various schools want to teach/test first and teach/test later;

(ii) the sample answers that come with the free test papers are not accurate at all;

(iii) several parents have commented to me that they/their kids don’t understand how to answer the open-ended questions with the correct keywords that will score maximum points;

(iv) I have been scoring As for Science all the way till BSc myself & my kid is able to use my tips to score maximum points with my type of keyword answers; so......

I will be preparing my own doc (printable) that contains topical past year open-ended exam questions, annexed with my own answers.

If anyone is keen to get a set (when ready), can u indicate over here in this thread? Then I will either PM you or set up some cloud sharing.

1. give birth to young alive.

2. If a question asks "what material is good for making raincoat and why?"
If the answer is "Plastic because it is waterproof". Is this good enough or need to add "and flexible"? Would marks be deducted if "flexible" is not indicated? ans=yes

3. If a question asks "What material is good for making the window panes of a car and why?"
If the answer is "Glass because it is durable and transparent." but answer key has only "transparent". Again will marks be deducted?= if marks is 2 then deduct half marks

4. Any marks deducted for grammar errors in Science?ans= yes

5. Is poor conductor and bad conductor synonymously used or they are specific answers as poor or bad conductor? ans= you can just say poor conductor
