Wondering how to best approach the HSC Economics case study? Many students find this assignment overwhelming. To help you, let's break it down one step at a time using the example of China to better illustrate what to do. 1.…
In Year 10 standard maths students are expected to master basic trigonometry and understand Pythagoras' theorem. Today we'll dive into the practical side of Pythagorean calculations, exploring example questions and how to work out their answers. We will take things…
In our last blog post we looked at what is Pythagoras' theorem and made sure we were clear about our understanding of it and how it works. Today we will take a closer look at how to apply this theorem…
Pythagoras' Theorem states: In a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. This mathematical gem can be expressed as: a2 +…
Year 12 Chemistry begins with the concepts of open systems and closed systems. This will set us up to better understand static and dynamic equilibrium as well as non equilibrium systems. In this blog post, we'll delve into open and…
In year 11 Chemistry and the junior years of science you were likely introduced to chemical reactions with the assumption that they would only be happening in one direction. That is that the reactants would become products. Now as we…
In chemistry an equilibrium refers to a state of balance. There are two main types of equilibrium: static and dynamic equilibrium. In this blog post, we will explore these equilibrium states, their differences, and their relevance. What is Static Equilibrium? Static…
Stoichiometry is a section of chemistry that refers to the quantitative relationships between the amounts of reactants and products in a chemical reaction. In Year 11 Chemistry students are introduced to Quantitative Chemistry. This builds a foundation of knowledge from…
What is the Mole Concept? The mole concept is a way to measure the amount of a substance on a macroscopic scale. It allows chemists to bridge the gap between the atomic and macroscopic worlds by providing a common unit…
Balancing chemical equations is an important skill to master for HSC Chemistry. In Year 11 Chemistry students learn also about the mole concept, stoichiometry and balancing chemical equations. This builds a foundation of knowledge from year 10 science such as: Understanding…
Chemical reactions happen all around us. When a chemical reaction occurs the atoms are rearranged to form new substances. Year 10 science provides some foundational chemistry knowledge to help students develop a deeper understanding of the world around them. For…
Year 10 science provides some foundational chemistry knowledge such as understanding the difference between atoms, molecules and compounds, some different types of chemical reactions, and writing chemical equations. This foundational knowledge can be helpful to understand and can set you…
Year 10 science provides some foundational chemistry knowledge to help students better understand the world around them. This includes understanding the difference between atoms, molecules, and compounds. For students who want to excel in their studies, or perhaps take Chemistry…
In recent years the Selective High School Placement Test changed to focus on thinking skills rather than general ability. This 40 questions section requires students to understand how to think logically and critically in order to find the answers to the questions.…
When supporting your child to prepare for the Selective High School Placement Test you may want to help them learn and practice different problem-solving techniques such as working backwards, making diagrams or tables, and breaking down complex problems into smaller, more…
In recent years the Selective High School Placement Test changed to focus on thinking skills rather than general ability. This 40 questions section requires students to understand how to think logically and critically in order to find the answers to…
Selective high schools cater for academically gifted students with high potential who may otherwise be without sufficient classmates of their own academic standard. Selective high schools help these students to learn by grouping them with students of similar ability, using…
Test taking strategies are techniques you can employ to improve performance and maximise results. Many children taking the selective high school placement test don't have a lot of experience taking test in high pressure situations. Teaching them about the following…
The Selective School Placement Test is a crucial milestone for students aiming to secure admission to prestigious selective schools. To navigate this highly competitive process successfully, we need to not only prepare but also ensuring we reduce test anxiety in…
As you start 3 Unit Maths, you’ll find a lot of the content expands on the lessons you learned in 2 Unit Maths. Unfortunately, this can lead to many common 3 Unit Maths mistakes getting made as you prepare for…
