Plant Reproduction Notes

Just for reference .... things that you should know.



Types of Pollination

Fruits/Seeds Dispersal and Their Characteristics

Science Revision

What you SHOULD be doing these 2 days:

1) SPELLING: Make sure you get all your spelling right for all the Science words! Many are making Spelling Errors in your Revision Exercises! 

2) KEY WORDS/ PHRASES: Memorise important ones for each topic. It's to be used during the explanation of processes and those "WHY/HOW/PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER" type of questions.

3) BASICS: Make sure you know ALL your basics. Everything in your TEXTBOOK + REVISION BOOK EXERCISES. These are actually more than sufficient to see you through all your P5 work for this SA1.

4) P3/P4 Topics:  Make sure you re-read all your P3/P4 topics in your textbook! Know what is happening for each chapter!

5) Know how to read FLOW CHART, CLASSIFICATION TABLE, TABLE, etc.  All these are found in EVERY SINGLE EXAM PAPER!

6) Look at Other School Papers/Revision books and see HOW TO ANSWER each question PROPERLY.


DO NOT WASTE TIME ON:

1) Learning things that are out of the syllabus that are not covered in the textbook or revision exercises. It will never appear in the exam paper. E.g. Vacuole, Umblical chord...etc....

~Science Revision Booklet B Answer ~

Q35ai)   Rod A
        ii)  The temperature at point A is higher after 5 minutes.




Q35b)   Metal cup. Metal is a good conductor of heat. Therefore, it can conduct the heat away from the water to the surroundings more quickly.




Q36a)   Yes. The flower still has its stigma for pollen grains to stick on. Therefore, cross pollination can still occur.

      b)   Yes. Grean beans were provided with moisture, air and warmth to germinate.





Q37a) The greater the distance between the block and the light source, the shorter the length of the shadow.

Q37b)   Material Y. It casts the lightest shadow among the three materials, indicating that the most light can pass through it.





38a)   The material used is changed in the experiment.

    b)   He was trying to find out which material is least waterproof / most waterproof

    c)   Material A. Material A is waterproof / Material A does not absorb water. 





39a)   Plant Cells:  Cell B,  Cell C
          Animal Cells:  Cell A, Cell D


      b)   Root hair. It has a cell wall, so it must be a plant cell but because no chloroplast is present in the cell, thus it is not green and cannnot make food, thus, it would be found in the root hair. 

P3/P4 Science Topics for SA1

P3/P4 Topics to study for SA1:

- Classifying things
- Characteristics of Living Things
- Life cycle of Plants & Animals
- Matter
- Materials
- Magnets
- Heat
- Light
- Digestive System


Basically, it's just about every single topic.  =.='
They are JUST AS IMPORTANT as your P5 topics!

Just imagine if it's 4 marks approximately for each topic, that will work out to around 40 marks already!

That is why I've been telling you EVERY WEEK for the last 2 MONTHS or so TO START REVISING FOR YOUR P3/P4 SCIENCE.

GOD BLESS.

~ THursday: MATH SA 1 ~

Ok, now for the MATH RESULT:

1) Many of you did not hit your targets. (We'll do some reflection in the coming days......)

2) You did not give me a heart-attack. (Thank God..it's better than Mock Exam...Slighhhhtly...)

3) Mr Yeo is not very satisfied. (Of course. If I'm ever satisfied, my Champions will never improve.)

4) I am also satisfied. (Only for some Champions.)

5) HORRENDOUS mistakes in Paper 1 Booklet B and Paper 2. (Get ready for blasting.)

NOW FORGET ALL ABOUT MATH  !!

LET US CONCENTRATE ON OUR NEXT 2 MAJOR HURDLES TO PULL OUR OVERALL RESULT UP!

Revise hard ...Revise smartly for your Mother Tongue tonight !!!


Homework:

1) Science Plant Reproduction Test

~ HOW TO DO ? ~

HOW TO DO ??

CLUE: We'd practiced this kind of question for many times.....

CLUE: Solve it SLOWLY.... 1 SENTENCE AT A TIME...1 PART AT A TIME...

Wednesday

Your teachers are disappointed with the EL result.

In order to pull your overall result up now, you have to rely on your MATH, SCIENCE & MT!

Please do your best tomorrow for your MATH.

My phone is always available.

All The Best 5-2!

Believe in yourself......

Stay Calm......

Focus......

BE THE BEST!

Today:

1) Be 101% PREPARED for your EL Paper 2 !

2) Show HFMD Letter to Parents

3) Some of you still owe me your Science Revision Exercises, keeping it at home, waiting for Christmas.
Can you please remember to bring it to school, so that I can mark? Then you can bring it home to have your corrections done and use it for your revision.

4) Try the few Math Questions below on your own without looking at the solution.

REST EARLY TONIGHT!

YOU NEED THE ENERGY AND A CLEAR MIND TOMORROW !  ^.^ /

Whose Question 2 ?

Question 2

Amy and Daisy shared the cost of a birthday cake for their mother in the ratio 4 : 5. Amy used 1/3 of her money to pay for her share. Daisy had $104 after paying for her share. If the ratio of Amy's money to Daisy's money at first was 2 : 3, how much did the cake cost?

Whose Question 1?

Question 1

The ratio of the number of fishes to the number of frogs in a pond is 3 : 5. After 6 frogs left the pond, there were 6/7 as many fishes as frogs. How many fishes and frogs were there altogether in the pond at first?

To make Frogs equivalent too before the 6 frogs left--->5 x 2 = 10

Therefore, Frogs should have 10 units.

But now, after 6 Frogs had left, it has dropped to 7 units.

10 - 7 = 3 units of frogs left

3 units ---> 6 Frogs
1 unit ---> 6 divide by 3 = 2 Frogs

At first ---> 6 units of fish + 10 units of frogs = 16 units

Total ---> 16 x 2 = 32 Fishes and Frogs

Darren's Question

Given that 5/6 of P is 2/5 of Q, what is the ratio of P : Q ?


Step 1) Draw 5/6 of P
        2) Draw 2/5 of Q in relation to 5/6 of P
        3) Q From 2/5...extend it to 5/5 
        3) Look at how you can divide and make all units the same size


You should get   12 : 25

RATIO & VOLUME Online Questions

* A REMINDER:  You will only be tested till VOLUME OF SOLID for SA1. That is why I did not teach you volume of liquid yet. We'll cover that after the exam.


Below are a few important RATIO & VOLUME questions which you'll see appearing in exams VERY OFTEN, even up to PSLE.

You MUST know how to do these. Once you know the strategy, it's VERY SIMPLE.

Do it in your Math Journal/Fullscap with the title:

Ratio & Volume Online Questions

2) Zhi Yin bought some magazines and comics in the ratio 1 : 3. The ratio of the number of comics she bought to the number of story books she bought was 2 : 5. Find the ratio of the number of magazines to the number of comics to the number of story books.




3) The ratio of Tabitha's Savings to Ken En's savings is 2 : 3. The ratio of Ken En's savings to Cassandra's savings is 4 : 7. Cassandra saved $1235 more than Tabitha. Find the total savings Cassandra and Ken En have.



4) During a fundraising event, Desiree and Wen Xin collected some $2 and $5 notes in the ratio of 8 : 11. They collected 48 $2 notes. How much money did they collect altogether?

7) Find the volume of a cube given that the total area of its 6 faces is 726 cm2.  (In the previous post, the number given is wrong so it can't be solved.)




8) The volume of Figure A is 513 cm3.

   Find the total surface area of 1 cube.

Mock Exam Paper 2 (Answer)

There is more than 1 method to solving these questions. As long as your final answer is correct, you're right.

I'll explain these questions to you during lesson.

QUESTION 14

QUESTION 16

QUESTION 17

QUESTION 18



In case you're suffering from the common mentality that there's nothing to revise for English.. Let me reassure you that's completely wrong. Here are some things which you can do to prepare for your coming exam (and all your 'English' exams next time)


Synthesis and Transformation
1. Read through all the notes you've been given.
2. Notes copied from the board contain rules which should be memorised.
3. Cover your answers and try the questions again.
4. Try the synthesis questions in the revision papers again too.


Comprehension
1. Look through all your completed comprehension exercises.
2. Identify your weaknesses e.g. incomplete sentences, tenses, phrasing, lifting etc...
3. Cover the answers and try again. You will be surprised how much you've forgotten.


Cloze Passage
Complete drawing arrows for done cloze passages.




There are things you can do to help yourself..
So please go and do them.
DON'T LEAVE ANYTHING TO CHANCE!
