Well, now you know the abysmal standard of teaching my science teacher is capable of...
Kinda frightening knowing I've yet to learn all that...

I wouldn't worry too much, we had a change of teachers every year (one was poor, one was alright and one was good). Most of the science course can be done yourself tbh. If you do honours maths the physics should be no problem, same for biology, chemistry is the only thing that some explanation may be needed (but might not be).

The only problem you'd have then is the experiments.

Honour maths... links with biology? Don't get it!

I'd actually go the other way and say you could do chemistry yourself but would need an explanation for physics! I do

chemistry though. Plan on doing it for leaving cert!

"If you do honours maths the physics should be no problem"

This is for things like the basic formulae you get as JC, like Density = Mass/Volume. Y'know, to find volume you'd be able to change the formula to Volume = Mass/Density!

Jumpguy; what Jack meant was that he read it as though you said honours maths would also be helpful with biology.

Jack; what jumpguy meant was that biology should be no problem to do by yourself, not that honours maths is needed.

Just a general question here (for the below poster to answer) in relation to English: What are your objectives when doing the Functional Writing section?

To make a clear concise answer using the relevent format and vocabulary while still trying to show the examiner that you understand the question fully and show off as much expression/vocabulary as possible. I hope report writing comes up! I'm pretty class at it. Although when she corrected our speeches in our copies I did well, I would rather not see that because it involves more thought and takes me longer than the alotted time

Ok, I don't see an open question so I'm going to ask several (because they are optional subjects; you can choose to do whatever one you want):

Business: Name the 4 documents needed to be prepared in order to form a private limited company.

Science: What is the difference between an element, a mixture and a compound?

French: Write out the verb "Avoir" in the present tense.

Religion: What is morality?

Technology:
Picture1-5.png?t=1265550609

I'll get a few more questions in a second.

Science:
An element is a substance composed of only one type of atom.
A mixture is a combination of elements, not chemically binded.
A compound is a combination of elements that are chemically binded.

Relgion:
Morality is the difference between what is right and what is wrong.

Next time upload it to photobucket (etc) and it won't be so easy or make a screenshot, crop it and post that.

Luno · 07-02-2010 09:40PM

How am I making it easy? That question came up in a CSPE exam??? I only done CSPE cause alot of the questions here were science related and I thought I'd change things a bit...

New question

That's too much effort for me . .I'll just leave it anyways!

WanderingSoul · 07-02-2010 09:43PM

What I think was meant was that it was too easy to cheat.

Luno · 07-02-2010 09:46PM

Everything is too easy to cheat, mocks christmas exams etc. To fight the temptation to cheat however . . .

WanderingSoul · 07-02-2010 09:52PM

No, it was to easy to cheat on your question, not in exams.

Errm because at this stage most people wanted full independence and they thoguht Sinn Fein was responsible for the rebellion?

Explain anything about trigenometry(sp) [This is for my revision...]

CookieMonster.x · 07-02-2010 10:18PM

For right angled triangles, you use sin, cosine and tan.
Sin = o/h
Cosine = a/h
Tan = o/a

For non right angled triangles, you use the sin rule: a/sin A = b/Sin B = c/Sin C. You take the angle opposite the side.

Each bit of information is relevant. Piece it together and redraw the diagram with the angles etc marked in. Remember, only look at the triangle, the building or sea or whatever it is most likely doesn't matter unless there are angles/sides marked in.

Business: Explain the principal of subrogation.

WanderingSoul · 07-02-2010 10:25PM

Subrogation is that when compensation is claimed by the insured, legal rights and ownership of the goods compensated are passed onto the insurance company.

Business / Technology: What is RAM and ROM?

CookieMonster.x · 07-02-2010 10:34PM

ROM: Read only memory. This is where the computer stores the basic instructions on how to work. Cannot be cha

RAM: Random access memory. This is where the computer stores information on how to do the current task. Can be deleted at any time.

Science: Give 2 differences between an artery and a vein.

WanderingSoul · 07-02-2010 10:37PM

1) Veins have a large lumen.
2) Veins have valves.

Science: What is an isotope?

CookieMonster.x · 07-02-2010 10:42PM

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different number of protons. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Irish: Put these verbs from the past tense into the present tense:
Bhris mé
Chaith sibh
Chaitheamar
Fuair tú
Bhí sé

Thanks WanderingSoul; Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different number of neutrons.

WanderingSoul · 07-02-2010 10:47PM

Different number of neutrons.

Bhris mé = Briseann mé
Chaith sibh = Caithann sibh
Chaitheamar = Caitheaimid
Fuair tú = I think this is an exception? Give me a moment.
Bhí sé = Ta sé

History: Give the main results (in brief) of a plantation you studied.
