JMSS testing 2015

Anyone else do bad for any of the essays ?

I wouldn't use the word bad, but I know I could have made a few improvements. ehhh can't change it now.

anyway, just wondering, you know how we had to talk about polar bears? did you guys just write about the skin and fur like it said on the page or more adaptations of the polar bear? like fat and feet?

because I just wrote about what it said .....

[dapperduck]

Man i'm scared, i guessed way too many on the numeral reasoning test! :/ Anyone else have any trouble with it?

yea, numerical reasoning was definitely complicated and tough with the time limit! after half time, any questions that were longer than 3 lines I skipped. it kind of evened out though, as there were some reallyyyyy easy questions

i wrote about the black fur (how it absorbs heat from the sun) and why it occurs  (through genetic adaptations caused by mutations and cell divison such as meiosis)

Nah, I just wrote about what it said. Like the skin is black bc it absorbs heat, the fur because it helps camouflage and the transparent stuff in the fur so the heat can reach the skin, but I explained it really thoroughly to make sure kids would understand how/why.

They test your communication, not much your knowledge in that one, so don't worry about it! (:

Lol yeah, it was the only thing that came to mind! I was gonna write about a fennec fox but I didn't know much about it. I know now that they use their large ears to dissipate heat and stuff. We learnt about them in geography or something, I should've paid more attention in class. XD

I had a paragraph that explained more adaptations

[darkrai115]

for all the people who chose the prac for science interest, did you guys specifically explain why the seeds germinate when in direct contact with heat/smoke

Nope, I did not.

i wrote about camels too haha mainly, although I also talked about thorny devils and frogs from the desert. luckily for me, I had just studied biomes in geography haha :')

I sort of did the same with why it occurs, I just didn't use the same wording as it was for kids aha

[dapperduck]

I'm really starting to stress, for the prac about germination, i talked about heating the seeds up through a bunsenburner !!!!

only now do I realise a heat mat is used for germination ahhhhhh.
what about you guys? how did you all do the prac?
