The Child – Our Common Goal

  • Personal Time (unstructured time)
  • It is all right for children to feel bored.
  • Unstructured time gives children the
  • pportunity to explore their inner and outer

worlds, which is the beginning of creativity. This is how they learn to engage with themselves and the world, to imagine and invent and create.

(Method mark (M1) is given for using the correct operation to find total number of passengers)

29 passengers alighted 120 – 29 (M1) = 109 passengers

(Method mark (M1) is given for using the correct operation to find number of passengers remained on the buses)

Answer: 109 passengers (A0)

(Wrong answer, no answer mark is given)

Tackling Science assessment items

  • In answering Science questions,

answers should include correct scientific words and concepts.

slide-115
SLIDE 115

Tackling Science assessment items

For example, Suggest a reason why the handle of a cooking pan should not be made

  • f metal.

Student’s answer: My hand gets burnt. X This answer is incorrect as it does not contain the correct science concept word.

slide-116
SLIDE 116

Tackling Science assessment items

For example, Suggest a reason why the handle of a cooking pan should not be made

  • f metal.

Correct answer: Metal gets hot easily or is a good conductor of heat. This answer clearly shows the correct concept.

slide-117
SLIDE 117
  • Read the question carefully.
  • Identify the key Science words in the

question.

  • Connect to the correct Science topic,

Science words and concepts.

  • Explain with these correct Science words

and concepts. Use comparing words (more, fewer etc) for experimental questions.

Science words in question: dry faster Topic : Water & its change

  • f state - Evaporation

Concepts :

  • Water gains heat and

evaporate into water vapour.

  • The rate of evaporation

depends on the exposed surface area.

Example:

slide-120
SLIDE 120

Correct answer: There is a larger exposed surface area when the plates are placed on a rack. Common mistake: The water evaporated at a higher

  • rate. X

– merely repeating/paraphrasing the phrase “dry faster”, did not connect explanation to correct concept.

Example:

Observations of common students’ mistakes

  • Failure to connect explanations to the

correct Science words/phrases/concepts.

  • Failure to use comparing words (more,

fewer, less).

  • Explanations that are not

specific/precise/vague/ unclear.

  • Repeating and copying phrases from the

question stem.

How parents can help their children in Science

  • Have a filing system at home. Use the learning sheets for

revision.

  • Have a revision schedule. Important to have a consistent

and regular revision of topics in P3, P4

  • Talk about Science in daily life using Science vocabulary

– hanging wet laundry, a can of cold drink – gain heat and evaporate, lose heat and condense – wearing a sweater – reduce heat loss – cracks on a cement walkway – expansion due to heat gain – explore plants, flowers, edible seeds in the gardens – parts of a flower, different types of fruits/seeds and how they are dispersed
