JMSS 2014 Testing Talk!

[Elisha913]

Only 7 sleeps to go :O

How are you guys keeping up with all your study?

My progress so far:
Maths: Mostly Confident.
Numerical Reasoning: Confident.
Science Reasoning: Pretty Confident.
Science Interest: Depends on topic...
Science Communication: Working on it.

Dude what's science communication? Is that like the way you're interpreting your essay or something else... I was under the illusion we had 4 tests.... AHH :') please correct me if I'm wrong...
Maths: pretty confident
Numerical reasoning: confident
Science interest: confident on pretty much all year 8,9 and 10 topics probably could do with polishing my living systems a bit
General science: pretty confident...

[Elisha913]

Do you guys have any links on living systems my textbooks don't cover it very well also body anatomy...

haha try this http://www.anatomyarcade.com/
lol got it from school during my health class.... hahahaha not really difficult tbh...

does any one have any suggestions on practice paper on maths and numerical reasoning
Like i just finished my jac jmss course- but like it always feel like i haven't done enough

You basically have to communicate an issue, last year it was writing a speech about global warming, and the year before was a practical report on something . I haven't been actively studying for it, but hopefully knowing the structure for practical reports is enough.

thank you!! and the one you did at JAC is probably going to be a lot more relevant than just doing a bunch of random tests i just had a look around a few websites and they're all pretty easy and a waste of time.. don't go too overboard. read your notes and go through the feed back from your tests from JAC and school and do the chapter reviews for each topic and make sure you get 100% and give yourself like 15 minutes or go like 30-45 seconds per question

[Hannibal]

Wow the exam starts so damn early 
I really hope I get to sleep in time the night before without nerves not letting me sleep.

1 What is Transpiration?
2 How is water from roots carried to the leaves?
3 Where is excess water stored in the plant cells?
4 Why is it that hot air rises up?
5 In nuclear reactions, are atoms or matter lost, gained or changed?

#1 - Is it th equivalent of respiration for plants?
#2 - It is carried through the xylem, which is part of the vascular bundle along with the phloem
#3 - Excess water is stored in the vacuole, which usually takes up the majority of space in a plant cell
#4 - Hot air rises because it is less dense than cold air? (Not entirely sure)
#5 - It depends if it's a fission or fusion reaction, but generally matter is lost, emitting alpha radiation (Helium nucleus), beta radiation (Electron) or gamma rays (Electromagnetic)

Hopefully that was a decent attempt haha .

By the way - welcome to AN Elisha haha .

aha aw thank you!!
and for questions
a)name the 4 chambers of the heart?
b)what is the closest galaxy to us?
c)how many light years across is our galaxy?
d) what is a force?

[Hannibal]

and for questions
a)name the 4 chambers of the heart?
b)what is the closest galaxy to us?
c)how many light years across is our galaxy?
d) what is a force?

Hopefully these are right!
a) The left atrium, left ventricle, right atrium, right ventricle
b) The andromeda galaxy (Trying to recall from a documentry from ages ago )
c) 20 million light years (Guess haha)
d) Something that has the power to move something in a certain direction. The amount of force is dictated by F=MA, which implies that force is proportional to the mass and acceleration of an object

I'll give a few as well:
#1 - What is magnetic induction?
#2 - What is cohesion?
#3 - What is a guard cell?
#4 - How is oxygen released as a byproduct of photosynthesis
#5 - If I walk 20 metres North, and 20 metres South, what is my total displacement?

I can't really think about any questions at the moment, but...

A) What is the white part of the eye called?
B) How do we hear?
C) What relationship does antimatter have with antimass?

EDIT: I kinda just realised you posted questions too. Woops...

a) you mean our iris?- the coloured ring shape membrane behind the cornea??
b) we hear things from our ear drums vibrating. Thus in the long run people who are always exposed to loud areas will experience hearing loss. That is the hair which makes our ear drums are no longer compressed, but more likely separated.
c) man i have absolutely no idea...

I'll ask a few more:
#1 What is the purpose of the alveoli in our lungs?
#2 During the process of photosynthesis, what are the reactants and products?
#3 which organ digest out fat and what substance does it produce?
#4 what enzyme is produced in our stomach to make our food very acidic?

1. To exchange gas from the lungs (co2 out, oxygen in)?
2. Carbon Dioxide + Sunlight + something ---> Glucose + Oxygen ?
3. Pancreas? Lipids?
4. Hydrochloric Acid?

[waftj]

1. To exchange gas from the lungs (co2 out, oxygen in)? YEP, well to be exact and sound more 'Posh' it is known as a gaseous exchange. But overall, you're correct
2. Carbon Dioxide + Sunlight + something ---> Glucose + Oxygen ? Aw.. man, very close. Carbon dioxide + hydrogen = glucose + oxygen
3. Pancreas? Lipids? No quite. Our LIVER produces BILE. PANCREAS, is used for making our food very acidic.
4. Hydrochloric Acid? Digestive Enzyme. On the other hand, Hydrochloric Acid is used to maintain the swimming it's high level of acidity or cleaning our driveway. Hahaha correct me if i'm wrong, trying to recall my facts form like ages ago.

Oh yea and guys just to clarify:
There are 40 questions for Science Reasoning in 30 mins??
Numerical 50 questions in 30 mins?
Maths 60 questions in 30 mins?
And the two essays 25 mins each??- But one of them has 5 mins planning time??

[SKGUN11]

alright haha!

[Hannibal]

Are you sure that it's hydrogen for photosynthesis, and not water? Thought it was:
H20 + CO2 + light ----> C6H12O6 + O2

That sounds about right .

[SassyTheSasquatch]

pretty sure it was this aswell :H20 + CO2 + light ----> C6H12O6 + O2


can i join your question thingo?
