Some of you vaguely discussed the variety of mooncakes on the market - but did not delve deep enough into the facts.
There are two main types sold in Singapore, notably the brown skin classic with yolks or not and the ones covered with a soft skin called 'snowskin'.
The boxes both came from upmarket hotels and the styrofoam one came with 'snowskin' mooncakes. The elaborately decorated one is made of medium-thin cardboard and came with brown skin mooncakes and a sachet of dessicant.
Last question is therefore what is the purpose of the two types of insulators. There is a reason for the styrofoam which if compared to cardboard is a far more effective insulator. Part of the answer might lie in this statement made by Rachel Neo (6F) - 'Some of the boxes are airtight,while others are not'.
It will be good to think of the mooncakes and their 'skin' mentioned above when thinking of an explanation.
How To Soar in PSLE - BTPS Way!!
Interact with complex questions / graphs / pictures to pick up valuable clues (don't highlight - just use your pen to underline words or scribble notes)
Start with Booklet A and do it meticulously with full focus - explore all 4 distractors before making final choice.
MANAGE your TIME - to score well, you need to try to finish ALL questions.
Specific answers = answers that are relevant to question.
When confused, choose any of the following strategies:
1. Ask, "What Science idea is being used in question?"
2. Pose other questions to clarify your thoughts
3. COMPARE to another set-up
4. COMPARE to a reverse situation
5. Connect to your knowledge in life (yes, you do have lots of prior / other knowledge)
6. Break down your answer in steps before crafting final answer.
Common problems with wrong answers:
*Answers are generic/vague and do not connect to that specific question
*Answers are not scientific and do not explain using Science ideas
*Answers do not make use of data provided when asked
*Answers did not make comparisons - use words like more/most etc..when asked
BTPS supports all P6 in achieving their PSLE GOALS!!

Science Around Me (SAM)
SAM is a Science journal that allows pupils to express themselves in their favourite ways about Science.
SAM is another great opportunity for pupils to THINK and TALK Science in a medium that is customised to their learning styles.
SAM allows teachers to informally assess understanding of the child and clarify misconceptions in their learning.

When Ice Changes into Water by Goh Chee Yan - 5G
Do you wonder whether the mass of ice changes when it melts into water. Try this out:
1. Put a few ice cubes into a plastic bag
2. Tie the mouth of the bag tightly
3. Weigh the bag of ice cubes (if there is condensation outside the bag, wipe it dry before weighing)
4. Place the bag in the sun
5. When ice has melted, wipe the outside of the bag dry (refer to step 3)
6. Weigh the bag
You will discover that the mass of the bag remains the same!
There is no change in mass when ice melts!!

Even though the 'snowskin' mooncakes itself will attract people, the box plays an important part by keeping the right temperature for the mooncakes.
