Hello people once again!

Mr. Chee gave some of us the answer scheme for the June 2007 Physics paper.

I know that the answers to the essay questions weren't printed, but that's only because our nice teacher didnt give me the answer sheet. Lol. I'll post the answers to the essay questions here this Thursday, so do remember to come and check, and inform your friends too.

Those who got the answers from Mr. Chee earlier on are to note that there is a change in answer for question 37, the correct answer is C instead of B.

The answers are supposedly correct as they are done by our teacher. ^_^

I'm not responsible for any mistakes horh.

On the other hand, I've compiled notes without any diagrams for Weather Studies for each of the weather elements separately, namely Humidity, Temperature, Air Pressure, Rainfall and.. something else lah. Oh. Winds... and also done a compiled note for River Studies.

You can ask Mrs Wong, Yeong Jing or me to email them to you. Wahaha. FOC leh!!

Here's the Summarized notes for Rivers.

Our FT once told us that it's important to note that it's getting less common for requirement of drawing diagrams. So do take note of it lest you have yet realised.

Then urmz.

The tidied notes are supposedly typed in Microsoft Word, but I dunno how to upload MWD onto blog (not like it's possible, i think) so the following is the best I could do lo.

If you want to print it out that badly, sms me or tag and I'll email it to you asap. Please tell me your email address, of course.
