Termly Reflections (Term 3)

Term 3 Science Reflections

In term 3 we learnt about 4 topics, namely,

Elements, mixtures, and compounds;

Cells;

Solutions and Suspensions;

Separation Techniques.

I find the topics on separation techniques very complicated and hard to remember, as there are a whole list of them, E.g. Evaporation, Crystallization, Distillation, Fractional Distillation, Paper chromatography, etc., and we need to memorize every method's way of working and the differences between each of them.

Elements, mixtures, and compounds required a lot of time as I had some trouble memorizing the different chemical formulas and the characteristics of each.

We also needed to memorize some parts of the periodic table, and it was quite a challenge as well. 

As for the topic on cells, I did not really run into any problems as most of the things taught were already covered in Primary School.

I prepared quite well for the test by completing lots of practices from multiple assessment books on my own and scored another A1, I'm really happy about the result.
