PSLE Books Comparison

By

I went to popular bookstore recently to look at the 2017 PSLE Science papers, to evaluate the difficulty level of the paper in 2017 and I thought this year there is a new book cover ! It turns out that there is a new publisher for the PSLE books.  

Left: Shing Lee   Right: EPH 
So just to compare the difference in the books, in case you are wondering which one to get and should you even get a book now (By now, I mean January) .

In my opinion, the answer is NO. 

Why? 

1. Because schools sell it to their own students at a much cheaper rate and there are also schools who buy it for their students for free. So you do not need to get one on your own.

2. They have just started their P6 and have yet to learn all topics, so it is not the right time to let them drill the PSLE book yet. The best time to start doing it is in June. Schools will also start drilling the students in the last lap before prelims and PSLE. So there is no need to do an overlap in drilling the papers. 


Comparison of the 2 PSLE Book 

1. Both books consist of PSLE Papers from 2015-2017 + specimen PSLE (same for both books). 

2. The answer keys are different. After a quick browse of the answer keys, each of the publisher has its own way of explaining the questions. 
PSLE 2017 MCQ Qn 1 & 2 

Shing Lee's Answer 
EPH's Answer 


Q40
Shing Lee's Answer - No diagrams,
additional comments on the
 application of the type of question  
Qn 40
EPH's Answer - Diagrams to illustrate the explanation
























For both presentations, it's a good read for students. However, there's a better way to present the answers for them to learn from the question instead.

Sample written ISUN answer key:








This way of presentation will allow the students to:
1. Know what keywords to look out for in a question
2. Know the mark allocation in their answer
3. Know the keywords the markers look out for in their answer
4. Extra tips on the side - eg. similar types of question or common mistake
5. Handwritten words capture more attention from the kids than a chunky paragraph of answer key

Answers to PSLE Questions

Why do I write suggested solutions to Red Swastika 2018 SA1 Paper? - My students found it useful and requested for more!  - The parents who used it to help their child have found it useful!  That's why despite using 4 hours just to write ONE SET of the suggested solutions (Section B only) and doing the miscellaneous admin such as scanning, downloading documents, writing email to send out to our ISUN warriors, I do it.  Hope that all these will contribute to their learning :)  From the paper, there are quite a couple of questions from the PSLE Booklet: You can download the Red Swastika 2018 Paper here!  Red Swastika 2018 Q 30 Reproduction of Plants PSLE 2018 Q15 TEST IT OUT!  PSLE 2018 Q15 ANSWER  Red Swastika 2018 Q33 Adaptations PSLE 2013/ Specimen Paper Adaptions TEST IT OUT!  PSLE 2013/ Specimen Paper Adaptions ANSWERS Refer to other posts to learn more!

Respiration and Photosynthesis

By
Respiration and Photosynthesis With air quality going downhill, there may be chances that we need to carry plants around as our oxygen tank.  The working mechanism is based on 2 simple concepts of Primary 5 Science, Respiration and Photosynthesis.  As seen from the picture, the man is wearing a mask connected to the plant. As the man respires, it gives out carbon dioxide.  The carbon dioxide, together with water and light, the green plant with cholorphyll photosynthesises and produces oxygen for the man to respire and survive.   A summary of the both respiration and photosynthesis processes are below: Respiration Respiration is the breaking down of digested food with oxygen to produce energy. The equation of Respiration Sugar (from digested food) +  Oxygen (from inhaled air)   รจ  ENERGY (for body to use) +  Carbon Dioxide (to exhaled air) + Water Vapour (to exhaled air)  *NOTE* All living things respire including plants. Respiration takes place ALL the

3 Common Mistakes in P6 Forces

By
3 COMMON MISTAKES IN FORCES:  *Apologies that the alignment of this page is off & I can't seem to get it adjusted for now. If you want a downloadable worksheet, PM us at isuninfo@gmail.com *  1. Gravitational force (GF) vs Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) Example 1 The ISUN warriors were playing at the corridor with a wooden ball. Xavier accidentally threw a ball and it travelled in the path as shown below rolling to a stop.   Which one of the following statements is correct? 1)       Gravity acted on the ball only when it travelled from Q to R. 2)       There are no other forces acting on the ball from P to Q except gravity. 3)       The amount gravity acting on the ball when it travelled from P to R is the same. 4)       The amount of gravity acting on the ball increased when the ball travelled from P to Q and decreased when it dropped from Q to R. Common Answer: 4 Why is it wrong? Students often confuse
