What improvement would I see in Term 4?

I wish to see improvement in my multiple choice question.

Because i always had this mindset that MCQ are one of those questions that are very easy to score... But i was WRONG! Because my MCQ almost fail..

I should read the questions more carefully and not make any careless mistakes because although they are just numbers, thinking is seriously required.

My aim: B4!!

What you wish to learn in Term 4?

I wish I could learn more about physics as i find physics interesting...

I know that physics would be taught in the upper secondarys but it is never too late to start early and it is never too early to start with something worth learning.

Physics is one of my interest as it can teach us the work of gravity, how does gravity differ in places and findings that Newton made about gravity...

Reflection on the lesson learn in Term 3. Any good suggestion to improve ?

Because most of the topics tested are of term 2's topic, there isin't much to improve in term 3, but i hope to improve, yet again on term 2's topics because i only scored a C5 for term 3's test...

I feel that our class should have maybe a "remedial" so we can learn more after school on a day we could all stay-back. It is worth-it because we can improve our results and results are very important.

I also think that we, as a class, should read more books about science and have an interest, have a like for science so we can have the initiative to want to read more to learn more to have a better grade.

What are the thing you learn in Term 3?

I learnt the inside of a cell, even though I did learn it in primary 5, I got a closer look in the cell and found out that it is not just nucleus and others, but there are more!

I also learnt photosynthesis & respiration carried out by plants and how to extract the chlorophyll.

I also had a revision on Term 2 topics as they are rather important to us as we need to until secondary 4 and beyond.

Reflection on Term 3's science test..

I improved from D7 to C5 and feel glad... Not glad that i got C5, but glad that I improved...

C5 is not a reasonable grade yet and I feel that I can do better...

I need to study harder and improve my grades!

Interesting fact and articles regarding term 2 topic?

I couldn't find any suitable fact or article regarding any topic in term 2, so I would tell something I like alot.

I like the lab-lesson on magnesium oxide the MOST! Because the magnesium is very shiny and bright when lit and it is very cool.

I found out that:
Magnesium + Oxygen = Magnesium oxide!

What improvement would I see in Term 3?

I would get a higher grade and hope I could get at least and B4...

That is my targeted grade, but getting 1 grade more/lesser wouldn't make me feel that bad.

I feel that science is more about your passion to learn than your hardworking skills.

What do I wish to learn in Term 3?

I just wish to learn more things, preferably more experiments because they are special and we could find out more or we could know more things about what somethings added into other things would cause.

Reflection on the lesson learn in Term 2. Any good suggestion to improve ?

Lessons in term 2 are more interesting, but tests got tougher...

I like the lessons as there are more lab-lessons and we get to do hands-on experiments instead of watching videos, which can be quite boring.

The test getting tougher is not something we shouldn't expect because it is another term, but I took that fact for granted and I failed my test, but I'll work harder and score better!

What are the things I learnt in Term 2?

I learnt about elements, compounds and mixtures... How to diferentiate solvent and solute.. And seperation techniques...

I think the topic that is most fun is about seperation techniques as it is interesting to learn and I can know more about how some things are sperated in an easier and faster method instead of some other methods which takes time and patient.

I think the topic that is most difficult to learn is about elements, compounds and mixtures because of the periodic table, which is a bit confusing and we need to remember and read more about the elements, compunds and mixtures if not we wouldn't know what it is...

About the solvent and solute, it is simple because there is not much to learn about, only the liquid which is the solvent and the solid or liquid placed in the liquid(Solvent), which is the solute.

Reflection on Term Two's test...

Well, in term 2, I did quite badly in my test and scored a D7, but that doesn't mean that I should give up on science. But instead, I should work harder! I think I went wrong in the part in which I didn't explain the answer clearly. And in those questions that require content knowledge, I didn't read enough. I should pay more attention in class, read more books to help me improve in my science grade... :)

Interesting fact and articles regarding term 1 topic?

Two students at a high school in Sydney's West have been taken to the hospital with third degree burns after an incident in the science lab. The accident happened shortly after 9:30a.m(AEDT) March 12 at Norwest Christian Colledge at Riverstone. The ambulance service says that the 15-year olds suffered burns to 18 and 12 per cent of their bodies. An ambulance spokesman says that the boy and the girl were burnt by methylated spirits that caught fire from a Bunsen Burner. The students received burns to their arms, backs, chests and faces and are in a serious condition in Westmead Children's Hospital. The fire brigade and workcover are investigating what happened. Adapted from: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/03/12/2844181.htm

This is what happens if you don't apply lab safety in the laboratory. They did not inform each other that the Bunsen Burner was still turned on and the fire was still burning so they caught fire. They should either turn the fire off or be informed that the fire was still on-ed...

What improvement would you see in Term 2?

More marks for my test? And more improvement in understanding more aobut what you are saying or discussion about in class or in the lab..

What you wish to learn in Term 2?

I wish to have more lab lessons and learn more about the insturments and experiment things... I also wish to learn more about facts of how and why and when and who found what and why and why they found what...

Reflection on the lesson learn in Term 1. Any good suggestion to improve ?

I feel that MOST of the lessons have been clearly explained except for those on Friday A.K.A lab lessons. The instruments are limited and we would need to take turns using them so while you are teaching us how to use the instruments, those of them who do not have the instruments would not know what you are talking about... So i suggest that you speak slower although time is limited too..

What are the thing you learn in Term 1?

I learnt that science will be more interesting with the lab experiments now. But I know that it would be tough because we would need instruments to help and guide us so we would need to study those instrument and study the topics too! So it would be double the hard work... I learnt how to draw simple instruments like the beaker and retort stand. I also learnt more instruments like the pipette and round-bottomed flask and ETC...

Reflection on term one's science test

Since Primary Three, I was already interested in science and I feel that science is not a very difficult subject. If you got the facts right, then it should be a " no problem" to you! And I feel that the science test was quite easy as I got an A1 and I think I can keep getting As for science provided that I studied for it.
