Format Duration of Paper: 1 h 15 min
Application of Knowledge & Process Skills (50%) at least 30%
Preparing for PSLE Science • Revise P3,4,5 work which forms most of PSLE Qns (concepts in the textbook, notes) • Review questions in revision papers and worksheets • PSLE Booklet will be used to practise standard items
E.g. 1.Process Skills – Using Apparatus & Equipment (MCQ) See PSLE (Fdn Sc) BookletSpecimen paper Q10
E.g. 2.Process Skills – Classification(Structured Question) See PSLE (FdnSc) Booklet Pg.19 Question 3
E.g. 2 (cont’d)Process Skills – Classification(Structured Question) See PSLE (Fdn Sc) Booklet Pg.19 Question 3
E.g. 3.Process Skills – Fair Test(Open-ended Question) See PSLE (FdnSc) Booklet Pg. 29 Question 6
E.g. 3. (con’td)Process Skills – Fair Test(Open-ended Question) See PSLE (Fdn Sc) Booklet Pg. 29 Question 6(a)
E.g. 3.Process Skills –Graph(Open-ended Question) See PSLE (FdnSc) Booklet Pg. 29 Question 6(b)
E.g. 3.Process Skills – Application of Concept(Open-ended Question) See PSLE (Fdn Sc) Booklet Pg. 29 Question 6(c)
MCQ Don’t rush through (32 out of 70 marks) Go through ALL options – even if you have an answer in mind as some answers are very close Use elimination to narrow down to possible answers
Structured Questions Matching, Fill-in-the Blanks Use words given in the word list
Open-Ended Questions • Read questions (highlight important points) • Recognise instructions in question stem e.g. identify, list, explain, explain how • Use scientific terms • e.g. “attracted” vs “stick” or “attach” magnetic objects to magnets • Look out for and use “clues” given: • Information given in diagrams, graphs, tables • Part (a) of some questions leads to part (b) • Marks given for each question • Make sure your answer has science concepts in it
