Description
is designed to help students excel in science. It is specially crafted to align with the Singapore science curriculum, which emphasises a strong foundation in scientific concepts and principles. Primary level 3 (9 years). • Consistently tackle a set of open-ended science questions each day to effectively cover the entire science syllabus for the level. • Strengthen the retention of science concepts and enhance the ability to apply them in practical, real-world situations. • Cultivate a sense of responsibility for self-directed learning. • Familiarise themselves with the essential takeaways for each science theme and topic. • Foster inquiry-based learning for confident problem-solving and reinforcement of key takeaways in each topic. • Enhance application skills by navigating through higher-order thinking science questions and preparing for diverse exam formats. • Improve knowledge retention through daily practice, empowering students to take charge of their learning with bite-sized topical exercises. • Analyse students’ academic strengths and weaknesses via online based assessment and learning platform EXPLICO. The key to doing well in science is to read widely, review regularly and work on questions consistently. Based on the number of school days found in the four terms of a year, the 200 exercises of open-ended questions, one of the two main components in important school assessments and the national examination, offer students digestible blocks of learning and daily bite-sized practice. They test students on knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts, and strengthen application of critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities. The Primary 3 science syllabus is based on the three themes, Diversity, Cycles and Interactions. The topics within each theme are clearly indicated so that the learning is focussed and important concepts and application are reinforced. The question sets provide thorough practice and will improve students’ scientific inquiry skills, such as observing, inferring, predicting, and communicating. Students will develop a better understanding of scientific methods and how they are used to investigate and solve scientific problems. All open-ended questions come with answers which guide students in their learning and provide them with feedback on the science concepts tested. Students should approach each question with curiosity and enthusiasm so that they will be able to challenge themselves to think critically and creatively. It is our hope that this book will serve as a valuable resource for students in their science studies to help them to achieve their academic goals. 190mm x 260mm 256 Gan Yi Shen / Angeline Tan / C.
