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!!
HOLIDAY Fun!
During his holiday at Sentosa, Jason woke up at 6 a.m, jumped into the swimming pool and yelped,
"Wow! It's sooooo cold!"
He quickly got out and went back to the hotel room and jumped into his bed with his wet swimming trunks.
"OOH, this is so warm and toasty!"
What made Jason feel cold in the pool? (Remember, always connect to Science concepts).
What made Jason feel warm in bed?
Explain clearly why.(You can try to connect to a similar experience you had!)
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!!

Jason felt cold when he went into the pool as it was early morning and the temperture of water is lower than his body temperture.This is the reason why he felt cold.
Because of his wet swimming trunks, he felt cold when he went out of the pool. When he lays down on the bed, he will feel warm because the bed is dry and warmer than his body temperture after his went out from the cold water.
1)Jason felt cold as when he went into the pool it was ealry in the morning. Also the temprature of the water in the swimming pool is lower than the temprature than the temprature of his body.
2) When Jason went out of the pool he felt cold as he was wearing his wet swimming trunks. When lays down on the bed he will fell warmer as the bed as dry and warmer than the temprature of the water in the swimming pool.
in the morning the water is lower than jason's body temperature and thus he will feel cold. when he lay in the bed, he gained heat from the bed and hence will feel warmer
