    What pink experiment book? :eek: lol

    As you probably know, some schools are randomly selected where inspectors are sent to make sure the pink books were handed up. I would imagine that they look through the books to make sure everything is in it, rather than the content. It's the Junior Cert and honestly I doubt they'd waste the time. I could be wrong, but that's just my guess.

    I didn't do a pink booklet, I'm so confused. I did a white one though, where we did 2 experiments and wrote about them.

    this is an experiment booklet,..which is pink covered :P you have to write up every single experiment that u did, and there is questions.. a lot of work

    Right well I did not do that I don't think.. I was in hospital for 2 weeks so maybe my class did it then.. :( There is also a white booklet right?

    It's suppose to be done over the 3 years? It's worth 10% of the final grade?

    You must have done it! :pac:

    It would have been done over three years, not two weeks.

    I guess my teacher just took the risk with us and didn't bother doing it...? Because I didn't do it and I don't think anyone in my class did.

    we have ticked off in the green investigation booklet that we have completed them.. so why bother check that is already done, when the teacher corrects the answers?

    See Shane15 for a perfect example.

    so is there a point in handing it up?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 101 ✭✭ektec


    because it has already been corrected by my teacher? im not sure


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 221 ✭✭Shane15


    Will I still get the 10%?

    Yes. If they chose your school and you haven't handed it up you will get 0% instead of 10%.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,232 ✭✭✭Bazinga_N


    We've been doing our experiments into a Scientific Experiment Copy since 1st Year.. :/ Anybody else done that?

    Hold on, we have our Lab copy's in our school. These are separate hardback copies in which we wrote all our experiments in during the last 3 years.

    This is what we are talking about right? lol I don't remember us transferring that info into another booklet!

    We are talking about something along the lines of this:

    Science-Experiment-Book.jpg

    *Can come in different colours/editions.

    Worth 10%.

    Just to confirm that they are not all corrected. what actually happens is inspectors go to schools and check a few just to make sure they are done. You will get your 10 percent. however the green booklets with two experiments have a marking scheme and will be corrected they are worth 25. 35 percent of exam done before you go in. hope it helps
