    1st hand investigation-phenotype

    Hey, I think you should just put all plants in the same size pot, with the same potting mix, same nutrient additions, same amount and type of water, same seeds in the same location (i.e. window sill let's say so the temperature and amount of light available etc. all stay the same) but you put...

    How you study ENGLISH?

    When I studied a module, I'd go over the syllabus (and prescription which lists the books and mentions some other facts not in the syllabus that I saw in the CSSA trial so I just popped them in too) and I'd make sure I understood every word and the main points asked for. Look at the outcomes...

    synthesising help!

    In Journeys, it's good to write in themes/notions and have a similar notion from your supplementary text. E.g. I did Kubla Khan and said how a negative (don't use this word in your exams! I should say maybe unwholesome) aspect of the journey is that it's easy to get lost in an alternate reality...

    The Justice Game - Geoffery Robertson

    The Justice Game is about the legal system that is supposed to elucidate truth to come to the conclusion of justice. In each text, imagine it should be an encyclopedia entry (perhaps). Anything that isn't the raw fact must have been manipulated in some way. GR manipulates his retellings to...

    the physical journey - speech

    What was the question they gave you? Who is in the audience? What is the purpose of the speech? Begin with a strong opening (maybe a quote from the text or a journey-ing quote you have found), maybe incorporate anecdotes and jokes as well as rhetorical questions. Use allusions appropriate to...

    How meaning is made? Help!

    Is this for Module C or how journeys are conveyed? Usually it will need to be through techniques and you will need to relate them to the truth you picked up from the text. For example, Coleridge uses vivid, descriptive imagery (insert example - like colour and detail) to help the responder...

    Does everyone do the same pracs?

    For each experiment, know the aim, equipment, method/procedure, observations, results, discussion and conclusion as well as: - Justify aspects of the experiment (like the procedure) - Evaluate ways in which the accuracy (measure with pipettes or whatever) and reliability (repeat, average...

    Excel Study Guide

    I agree that Macquarie Revision Guide is really good (generally for all the subjects I got one for) including chemistry.

    struggling o5'er

    I agree, get the Macquarie Revision Guide for HSC Chemistry. There are a few things you might need to know like bond forces (that make ethanol a good solvent for both polar/non-polar substances or heat of combustion maybe), but it isn't as important to know preliminary as it is to know the...

    what can i be doing over the hols?

    Maybe read ahead a bit and have the concepts fixed in your mind so when you go over them in class they are familiar and become more firmly fixed in your head. So like light bulbs go off and you are like I get this, I know this, I can add this to what I already know. Take notes too. It is...

    Maintaining a Balance(9.2) Dot Point 2.7 - experiment...HOW DO I DO IT???

    Get a straw. Get a beaker of distilled water. Add a few drops of universal indicator and blow into the straw. The colour will change from green to yellow. CO2 + H2O -> H2CO3(aq) - carbonic acid. Which then forms HCO3- (aq) and H+ (aq) which is what makes it acidic. It can go again into H+ (aq)...

    2004 Geography HSC exam

    Genetic diversity assists resilience as there is a variety of genetic information that can be passed on to future generations in times of natural stress. Natural stress is a selective pressure on the biosphere and alters its genetic composition. It reduces vulnerability as there is a greater...

    biology is basically a bludge period

    DO listen in class, but also DO your work. If you listen in class, take notes and go over them in the evening after and make sure the concepts are fixed in your mind you will just fly through and it will be a breeze for you. Get a sprial book for biology and write summaries and know your...

    sgp

    For my SGP I compared the human impacts and management strategies of two different sand dune ecosystems, one at Collaroy and one at Jibbon beach (which you get to by ferry from Cronulla) and I compared and contrasted them. I really enjoyed doing this field work, especially the chance to go to...

    2004 Geography HSC exam

    That was okay. I wasn't expecting the economic character, but luckily my teacher had made notes on it for the class. Here is the paper: SECTION I: Page 3 (MC 1,2,3,4) http://onfinite.com/libraries/142430/9e4.jpg Page 4 (MC 5,6,7,8,9) http://onfinite.com/libraries/142431/7ed.jpg...
