Science Partner : A Complete Guide To Upper Block Science (Grade 5/6)

Science Partner: A Complete Guide to Upper Block Science (Grades 5 and 6)  is a useful resource book covering in detail topics under each theme (Diversity, Cycles, Systems, Interactions and Energy). These are based on the latest primary science syllabus for primary 5/6 in Singapore but is also useful for Australian students wanting to further explore science concepts at primary level.

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.

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.

While this book doesn't include conventional questions and answers, it would work very well as a complete option for home educators because it does include worked hands-on activities.
