PSLE Science Partner

Apart from the textbooks that students use in school, PSLE Science Partner: The Complete Guide to Lower and Upper Blocks Science plays a significant role as a resource book for them. This book has been compiled from 2 books: Science Partner for Lower Block and Science Partner for Upper Block. Topics under each theme (Diversity, Systems, Cycles, Energy and Interactions) are covered in detail based on the latest Singapore primary science syllabus for primary 3/4 and 5/6.

The language used in this book is simple and easy to understand so that students can easily and effectively learn and understand the concepts of science. A variety of examples and illustrations are found within each topic to generate the interest of the students. In addition, four different types of pictorial icons are used in the book. They point out to students to pay attention to the important information that is given.

• Example - provide examples and explanations.
• Alert - bring to students' attention a concept, term or information that they need to fully and consciously understand. This has been added because it is found that many students have a common misconception of an idea, term or concept in science and it should be rectified.
• Extra - indicate that more information on the topic is given so that students can increase their knowledge of the subject matter.
• Experiment - indicate to students the relevant experiments that need to be conducted so as to build knowledge and understanding of a concept.

Important points are listed out at the end of each topic under a titled box 'What I Have Learnt In This Chapter' for quick and easy reference before the examinations.

Students will find that this resource book helps make studying science an enjoyable journey for them. It is hoped that through this book, a student's learning of science concepts is further enhanced and their interest level in science is increased.
