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!!
Cosy NEST
How does this nest differ from nests usually found on trees? What does it teach us about the birds who built it?
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!!

I think the bird is very clever. Compare to the nest that made of the branches it is really modern.. I think. The bird looked around the surroundings and maybe saw the man throwing away their furniture like cushion, pillow or sofa. The bird realise that the cotton it maybe make its egg more warmer, cosy and not hard, means soft. It maybe thought that the material that man throw away might be useful to their building the nests.
This bird might be less wild than the other birds. Maybe the bird had check the material before building its nest. Whether it is warm, light, comfortable anything that makes its nest better, and I also realised that other than the brown cotton, it used animal fur too.
Conclusion, this bird is wilder than the other birds. Its thinking is really advance and it might have seen its family doing that to it, and I think he is very clever to see and observe the surrounding and use the cotton to build their nest more modern, cosy and warm nest than the others. I think we also can learn from this bird. If we observe and look out for better things, find for new things, you can do it like this bird. Even animals can do it, how about you??

the brown stuff looks more like fabricated bark.maybe the birs had torn the bark of a tree to make it soft as it is and also small sticks are used.the small sticks provide heat when it decomposes same for the bark
