    Cheating??

    I see lots of people doing it, its not too bad in my opinion. Maybe one day you'll be in a similiar situation where u feel you have to skip an assessment. My advice is talk to the person if you want to, but definetly do NOT dob them in, because they will find out one way or another it was you...

    Does that mean, say, that a single Magnesium atom is a molecule?

    Understanding the concept of Molecules

    The way I understand it, molecules are two or more atoms bonded covalently (sharing electrons). Diatomic molecules can include both O2 and CO, if I'm correct, and triatomic molecules are O3, H2O, etc. But then I read that all noble gases are "monatomic molecules." Doesn't this really go...

    Multiple choice question regarding Momentum

    But say it was a 1kg ball travelling at 50 ms then when it rebounds, it changes direction and its new speed is -50 so initial momentum (50) doesnt equal its final momentum (-50) So how is its momentum conserved?

    Who doing both extensions?

    At my school I'd say the majority, including myself, do both Extensions, and next year I think most will be doing at least one Extension II subject. In year 11 if we want to do both extensions, we still have to keep the rest of our subjects, meaning most of us have 14 units. Its actually not...

    How can you get your English Examiner to "like" your essay?

    It feels like the marks I get for English essays are completely random! I handed in a practice essay to my English teacher, and got 18/20. She tells me a few things to correct, and I go home and correct them. I then resubmit my essay to my English teacher a week later. Next day, I get it back...

    Products of an (active) metal + water reaction

    I have two different textbooks, one of which says: metal +water = metal oxide + hydrogen the other says: metal + water = metal hydroxide + hydrogen Are both reactions possible? If so, how do you tell whether an oxide or hydroxide is formed?

    Misleading Info.

    I read somewhere that 60 % of people get over 60 UAI ... Does that sound right? And how would that affect the whole "20-40 per increment" idea?

    Advanced English - Need to find an outsider related source/text

    I would suggest 1984 by George Orwell. Its not too challenging but it does really get you thinking. I think its one of those texts that everybody has to read during their life, so why not study it in depth?

    Year 11 half yearly

    Yeah I got to a fairly good school and we have had half yearlies and yearlies since year 7. They are meant to help prepare you for the style of question you will face in the HSC. I dont think they are a waste of time at all.

    Just a question regarding Cambridge and Maths

    What exactly is the point in getting two different maths books? Couldn't that just potentially confuse you?

    Year 11 Study Time

    I do no regular study at all. I do what I like after school, hang with mates, play sport, then get home at around 7pm. From there, I sit down, and get all my homework done in one block. Doesn't matter if it takes me 30 minutes or four hours all up. Because I divide my day into work and play, and...

    some advice

    I find alot of people in my school saying the hate physics and that they would drop it at the end of year 11, but once they get there they keep the course. Stick in there, you'll probably grow to like it.
