Notes etc. - Do not post copyright material

bluejay14

So we've been saying this for a while now that we should start a thread to put notes/phrases etc.I finally took it upon myself to start one seeing as we've been putting up a lot of notes here and there on different things so it's time to get them all together in one place beause I will never be able to find them come June.

So just throw up anything that you think will be useful on any of the JC subjects; English, Irish, French, religion, business, geography, whatever.

It's also another reason to be on boards - what it is study:p.

The Road Not Taken - Robert Frost

Poetic Techniques

Metaphors - The paths in the woods is a metaphor for choices in life

Imagery - "two roads diverged in a yellow wood"

Alliteration - "wanted wear", this adds to the melodious effect of the poem

Assonance - "grassy, passing, as, having", also adds to the melodious effect of the poem

Symbolism - the yellow leaves of autumn in the forest symbolises the poet is in the middle age bracket

You forget allegory a form of extended metaphor, for which the poet uses one story to symbolize another;)

Leite Dhonncha Pheig - An Seabhac.

Bhí Donncha pósta le Neil. Bhí cúigear sa chlann - Donncha, Neil, Máirín, Peats, agus Neil Óg. Bhí Neil slachmhar, néata. Rinne sí obair an tí go néata. Ach mo bhrón, bhí sí dearmadach. Gach tráthnóna, rinne sí dearmad ar an salann sa leite.

Bhí clampar sa teach gach tráthnóna, mar chaith Donncha an leite amach. Bhí eagla ar Neil bhocht.

Mar réiteach ar an scéal, d'éirigh siad as an leite. Tráthnóna amháin, bheartaigh Neil ar an leite a dhéanamh arís agus smaoinigh sí ar an salann. Bhí sí lán sásta. Chuaigh sí amach go dtí cró na mbó.

Tháinig Donncha isteach. Chonaic sé an leite is chuir sé mám salann ann. Amach leis. Ansin tháining Máirín isteach, agus rinne sí amhlaidh. Tháinig Geanc isteach ansin is chuir sé mám salann sa leite. Ag an deireadh, tháining Neil Óg isteach is rinne sí an rud céanna.

Ansin tháinig an clann go léir isteach. Bhí Neil lán sásta. Chuir Donncha spúnóg leite ina bhéal is ansin lig sé béic uafásach as mar bhí an iomarca salann sa leite.

Bhí Neil bocht croíbhriste. Anois ólann siad tae gach tráthnóna.

So, how's that? My Irish isn't great, so there could be spelling mistakes and the like.

I also just found out how hard and tedious it is to type in Irish. I was going to post up a few more answers, but I'll just do one short poem for now.

The words in bold print I had to correct. Very few mistakes-so maith thú!:)

Your first botún was you didn't put the 'ar' after dearmad. You have to say 'Rinne mé/sé etc. dearmad AR something!

Your second botún wasn't really a mistake as such, but you swapped tenses. You said 'bhíodh'. While that's grand to use that, it's a different tense to what you have been using, so to be on the safe side, I'd stick with 'bhí'.

Your third botún was 'bheartaigh'. Beartaigh takes 'ar' after it, so I've fixed that for you. If you want you could use Shocraigh instead as they both mean decided.

Your fourth botún was 'Ar Deireadh'. It's much better to say 'Ag an Deireadh' or 'Sa Deireadh'.

You then just forgot the fáda on 'Céanna'.

Your final botún: You said 'croí briste' it's 'croíbhriste'.

Otherwise, your Irish isn't bad ar chor ar bith! You had very few errors:) If you have a few more for me to correct I'll do that too! I had said on here that I'd put up a list of Irish phrases, but with all my study I found that impossible! So sorry guys! I'll make it up to ye though by correcting some of your essays or if ye have maths problems I'll do that for ye too:D

I had to correct quite a number of things there. It is vital that you get your tenses right, and the endings correct. You alternated between past and present in that piece, and a lot of the verbs were wrongly conjugated. Also, there were quite a few spelling mistakes. It's not 'bhuil' it's 'bhfuil'. You said 'is maith siad', it's 'is maith leo'. Something you'll be learning in 5th year is the Tuiseal Ginideach, so it's understandable that you said 'an ceoil na farraige', but it's 'ceol na farraige' as the 'the' is included in the 'na'.

The most important thing for all of you to remember is to make absolutely sure that you are using the correct tense and you have the correct form:) If anybody wants me to correct their notes I'd be more than happy to oblige:)

Tús an Scéal:
• Is cuimhín liom go maith é. Chun na fí¬rinne a rá ní dhéanfaidh mé dearmad air go tapaidh.
• Tús an tsamhraidh a bhí ann agus bhí scrúduithe na scoile díreach críochnaithe againn.
• Bhí sé thart ar an scoile deireanach.
• Bhí an ghrian ag taitneamh agus bhí sé ag scoilteadh na gcloch. Bhí sé te agus bhí sé ag éirí níos teo. Ní raibh oiread is puth gaoithe ann. Bhí mé marbh leis an teas ach is aoibhinn an aimsir fós.
• Ar dhúisceart dom bhraith mé go háinnis agus mar sin d’fhan mé sa leaba ar feadh leathuair eile. Bhriath mé níós fear nuair a eirigh mé thart ar a seacht.
• Tar éis mé féin a ní agus a ghleasadh bhain mé an chístín amach. Ma ba ghnách dom bhí ocras an domhain orm. Bhí friochadh ollmhór réidh dom – íspíní, slísíní, ubh, putóg bhán agus dubh, trataí, tósta agus tae. Mise á rá leat go ndeárna sé an jab, gan dabht. Mo mham, bheinn caillte gan í.
• Le bolg lán, d’ fhág mé an teach ar a __________.
• Chuamar go stad an mbus agus fuaireamar an bus go ______________.
• Dá mbeadh a fhios agam cad a bhí chun ar tí tarlú nuair a dhuisigh mé an lá sin, mise á rá leat, go bhfanfainn me sa leaba/sa Éirinn.

Corp an Scéil:

-Ní chreidfeá cad a tharla
-Dá mbeadh a fhios agam cad a bhí ar tí tarlú, mise á rá leat go bhfanfainn sa leaba/ go léimfinn as an leaba níos luaithe.
-Cuireadh é ar shíntean agus tógadh é go dtí an t-óspideal

Críoch an Scéil:
• Bhí mé ar scamaill a naoi. Léim mo chroí le háthas. Is ar éigean a bhí mé in ann caint. Ní raibh mé ábalta mo chluasa a chreidiúnt. Bhí mé sna tríthí gáíre.
• Bhí mé in isle brí. Bhí mé ar tí caoineadh. Bhraith mé na deora ag teacht. Bhímé go dubhach brónach tar éis an nuacht seo a chloistéail.
• Mise á rá leat gur/nár chodail mé go sámh an oiche sin. Tá cuimhne/eachtraí an lae sin chomh sóiléir i m’intinn go dtógfann an leabhar gur tharla sé inné. Dá mairfinn go dtí an céad ní dhéanfaidh mé dearmad ar an lá sin go deo.

Pressure & The Atmosphere

Pressure
• Pressure is force per unit area.
• Pressure = Force / area
• Nm−2 or Pa

Picture8-3.png?t=1275778602

• To increase the pressure, reduce the are the force is applied to or increase the force.
• Pressure in a liquid is dependent on density and depth.

The Atmosphere
• Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere pushing down.
• Normal atmospheric pressure is 1013 hectopascals (hPa).
• A barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure.
• Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude rises.
• In space there is no atmospheric pressure.

The Effect of Atmospheric Pressure on Weather.
• High atmospheric pressure gives good, dry and settled weather.
• Low atmospheric pressure gives bad, wet, windy and unsettled weather.

Everyday Applications of Pressure
• Flight: An aeroplane flies because of the difference of pressure above and below its wings.
• Hydraulic Brakes: Liquids can transfer pressure easily from one place to another. The pressure transfered can then be used to lift a large force.

Energy

Energy
• Energy is the ability to do work or move something.

Forms of Energy
• Kinetic energy: energy due to movement. Eg: Falling rocks.
• Potential energy: energy due to its position. Eg: Stretched elastic bands.
• Light energy: energy from the sun or a bulb can turn the vanes of a Crooke’s radiometer.
• Sound energy: energy caused by vibrations.
• Electrical energy: energy from moving charges made by a generator.
• Chemical energy: energy stored in chemicals like oil or food.
• Nuclear energy: energy that holds the nuclei of atoms together.

The Principal of Conservation of Energy
• States that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can only change from one form to another.

Energy Sources
• Our primary source of energy is the sun (light & heat, wind & waves, hydroelectricity through evaporation)
• There are two types of energy sources: renewable and non-renewable.
• Renewable sources are sources replaced naturally.
• Non-renewable sources of energy that cannot be replaced.

Picture10-1.png?t=1275778604

Energy Converters
• A light bulb: electrical energy ---> heat & light energy
• A speaker: electrical energy ---> sound energy
• A microphone: sound energy ---> electrical energy
• A battery: chemical energy ---> electrical energy
• A plant: solar energy ---> chemical energy
• A car: chemical energy ---> kinetic, heat, light & sound energy

Herbivores are animals that eat plants only.
Omnivores are animals that eat other animals only.
Decomposers are living things that feed on dead plants and animals.
A food chain is a list of living things in which each one is eaten by the next in the food chain.
Adaptations are structures or habits that living things have which enable them to survive in their habitats.
Competition occurs when two or more organisms require something that is in short supply.
A food web consists of two or more interconnected food chains.
Interdependence means that living things depend on each other for survival.

Studying a habitat involves:
- Making a sketch map of the habitat
- Measuring relevant environmental factors such as temperatures, light intensity or soil pH
- Identifying plants and animals, often using a key
- Collecting plants and animals using pooters, beating trays and pitfall traps
- Estimating the numbers of plants using quadrats or line transects

Human effects on the environment:
- Coservation is the protection and wise management of our natural resources
- Pollution is any unwanted change to our environment
- Waste management is essential to prevent pollution and to conserve our environment.
- Waste management involves the three R's : Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Seeing as I have nothing better to do I think I'll might as well stick up some more notes. I am also testing my memory!

Archaeologist at work

Much of what we know about eaarly history comes from a special kind of historical detective work called archaeology. Archaeology is the study of very old things. Sometimes, the ruins of old building, churches and graves may still be visible above the ground and may be worth investigating. Even when the ruins have virtually disappeared, an archaeologist may locate them with the help of old maps or documents which pinpoint their location. Todays archaeologists often locate places of interest with the help of aerial photograph. Old stories and legends, while often unreliable and untrue can give important clues.

When archaeologists believe they have found a place worth investigating, it becomes an archaeological site. the site is divided into small sections usually square shaped and identified by different numbers or letters. Small pathways are marked out between the section sto prevent the archaeologists from treading on valuable finds.

The archaeologists slowly dig down into each section using small toos such as trowels and grologists hammers to avoid missing or breaking important finds. Kitchen spoons and penknoves ar often using on excavation swhile many archaeologists use toothbrushes when cleaning important finds. Finds such as pottery, tools or weapons are called artefacts.

At the end of a successful dig, thousands of objects may have been found. The task facing the archaeologists now will involve dating the sites and finds. The lower down an object is found, the longer ir has bee nthere and the older it is. The team of archaeologists sig down through each layer of earth, taking careful note of the depth at which each oject is found. This work is called stratigraphy. All living creatures and plants contain a substance called carbon-14. When they die this carbon 14 begins to decay at a steady rate. By measuring how rapidly carbon-14 is decaying , in a bone for example, scientists ca tell acurately how old it is. This process is called carbon-14 dating. We know the age of a tree by counting the rings inside it's trunk. The dating of wooden objects is called dendrochronology.
