Stupid Australia scientist thing (1 Viewer)

[braindrainedAsh]

It's in there... much to my dismay. We haven't done it... so if they ask it I'm screwed.

 

[arls]

if they ask it... im guessing 95% of the state wont have done it (me like every1 never even heard of that skill!).. i mean really! i dont think they would... and if they do... well all be scaled together! dont worry guys...

Its point h12.3e

e) identifying practising male and female Australian scientists, the areas in which
they are currently working and information about their research

As I said unlikely to be tested as too hard to be marked.

Other skills will be

 

[piccaninny]

alexandr fleming can be mentioned too, he invented penicilin

 

[tempco]

It has to be practising, so Fleming can't be used.

 

[helper]

Fleming is no longer practising

I called the help line. YOU DONT NEED TO KNOW IT

 

[tempco]

ooh that's some good news... so... why is it in the syllabus?

 

[babydoll_]

thats the thing - it's NOT in the syllabus

point it out and prove me wrong, if you can

EDIT/ crap, just saw it

nuts to that; never seen it before *whistles*

 

[braindrainedAsh]

oh well... if it gets asked I'll just use my creative writing skills. Too late now to worry.

They asked us to describe a practising scientist in earth and environment..only worth 2 marks but still...., so it's very possible that they could ask us in bio as well.
Why don't we all make up someone together now, it will be more convincing if heaps of us write about the same made up person, rather than the whole state making up a thousand different ppl to write about on the spot if they ask it...

p.s hey mazey, it's me, ur TWPS buddy, i havn't seen u in ages...!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Hmm.. maybe it's not such a bad idea after all...

 

[Bannanafish]

syllabus doesn't say it has to be a biologist

so write about the chemistry one

 

[helper]

Go to a austrtalian uni website and choose a scientist from their biology department.

all i can say is thank fucking god

 

[ballerinabarbie]

i'll just make up a scientist and relate it to some part of the biology course... its not like they are going to have an 8 mark question on it...

they are currently working and information about their research.

i dont think we need to know about an australian scientist. the chances of the asking that are slim. there are so many dot points which havent been covered in an hsc exam that im sure they will ask this time around, rather than such an obscure dot point which isnt in the "students learn to" or "students learn about" sections.
