  1. P6 PARENTS BRIEFINGSCIENCE • AGENDA: • CURRICULUM MATTERS • SUPPLEMENTARY LESSONS • EXAMINATION MATTERS • MONITORING AND ASSISTANCE

  2. Curriculum Matters PSLE Coverage • P3 to P6 Work / Content • Science Process Skills

  3. Basic - Observing - Comparing - Classifying - Measuring and using apparatus / equipment - Communicating - Inferring - Predicting - Analysing - Generating - Evaluating - Making hypothesis Integrated - Creative Problem Solving - Decision Making - Investigation Process Skills

  4. Difference between Observation & Inference / Conclusion……….

  5. Other handouts…..for all levels in 2011 • Laboratory Rules & Apparatus • Guidelines for Drawing Scientific diagrams • 3 Important questions that are often asked • Why repeat the experiment X times ? • What is a control ? • What is a fair test ?

  6. Curriculum matters • Mid Year, syllabus completion. • Revision comprises mainly past-year papers (ACS as well as other schools), PSLE booklet • On-going preparation includes: • Topical tests • Process skills worksheets • Quality vs. quantity

  7. Weekly Supplementary Lessons (Thurs.) • Current P6 Work • Revision of P3 to P5 Work • Exam. Strategies / Techniques of answering Sc. questions

  8. Enrichment Lessons (June 2011) • “Electronics” • Optional • Hands-on activities • Afternoons • EduSave

  9. EXAM. MATTERS • FORMAT OF PAPER: • 60 % APPLICATION (requires process skills), 40% KNOWLEDGE (requires memorizing of facts with understanding) • 30 MCQ x 2 m each (60 m), 14 Open-Ended (40 m) • 1hr 45 mins • P3 to P6 syllabus

  10. MOE Primary Science Website • For Content : • The 4 Years’ Course books / • Textbooks • The P6 PSLE Guidebook www.sciberdiver.edu.sg

  13. 3 Main steps to doing well in PSLE Science….. Step 1 : Content Mastery (Acquisition & Understanding of Textbook Knowledge) Step 2 : Process Skills Mastery (Acquisition of Basic & Integrated Process Skills listed in the MOE Syllabus) Step 3 : Answering Mastery (Ability to make connections between abstract situation to content knowledge – Application)

  14. Points to note • Section A : To examine the options given carefully before choosing the best possible one. Diagrams, pictures, graphs, tables, etc. given are for deriving additional information………….these need to be studied carefully.

  15. Section B : To be precise and concise in the answers. To give answers as required (Who, What, Where, Why, When, How?) Concepts MUST be correct and clearly expressed. (No deduction if grammatically incorrect provided idea/concept is clear). Key words DO NOT = Right Answer If additional information which is wrong is included, marks will also be deducted. Diagrams, pictures, graphs, tables, etc. given are for deriving additional information………….these need to be studied carefully. When examples are required, give the obvious correct ones !

  16. Monitoring and Assistance • Help to ensure that child knows the text book content through and through • P3 to P5 content must be re-learned • Help child use concept map to link concepts • Monitor work especially workbooks (application based)…need to pay attention to corrections • Help to ensure that HW is done and handed in on time ! • Help to check that the boys follow the time-table and has the “stuffs” required for the day’s Sc. lessons. • Work with the teacher
