In the PSLE, there are some questions (Physical and Life Sciences) that will require pupils to apply Science concepts to everyday situations or phenomena around them. Parents and pupils have often approached me to recommend them some useful reading materials for Science. Pupils are encouraged to read widely so that they are more aware of how Science concepts are applied in everyday situations or certain gadgets, for example, bimetallic strips used in thermostat (popular question related to the P4 Topic on Heat in Top School Examination Papers).
Here are some books or magazines that pupils could read:
- My Pals Are Here Sciene PSLE Revision Guide
- My Pals Are Here Science Booster
- Talking Science Magazines
- Young Scientist Magazines
- Non-fiction books from the National Library Board on adaptations, symbiosis, etc
For younger kids, encourage them to read the Magic Schoolbus series to find out more about themselves and the world around them.
