I know that it might be a bit too early to ask this question and I know this might not be the right place to post this thread. I'm just wondering, from Physics, Chemistry and Biology which Optional Topic from each Science is the easiest?

well ill be realistic and say your single vote wont make a difference unless you have an extremely small class

but you might want to see if there are topics that are similar. like chemistry has biochem and biology also has a biochem topic too i believe. so doing both of those would be easier than doing two seperate option topics

In each of my science classes there are only about 5 to 10 kids. So yeah I believe that I do have a very small class.

Are you sure that they both have the Biochemistry Topic? I checked the booklet that my school gave me and this is what it said:

Biology HSC Core:

Maintaining a balance
Blueprint of life
The search for better health

+ Option Topics:

Communication
Biotechnology
Genetics
The human story
Biochemistry

Chemistry HSC Core:

The Identification and production of materials
The acidic environment
Chemical Monitoring and management

+ Option Topics:

Industrial chemistry
Shipwrecks and salvage
The chemistry of art
Forensic chemistry

As you can see, there doesn't seem to be a Biochemistry topic in Chemistry.:confused:

LOL, well trust me when I say there is a biochem topic for chem. After all, I did it in my HSC ;)

Its a very uncommon course though, info is only in a few textbooks and concepts are somewhat difficult so perhaps your school just doesnt want to have to teach it because it would be a struggle for the teachers.

but it definately exists, its on the chem contexts cd and in the old excel book and most importantly, its in the syllabus

yes it does exist it is called the BIOCHEMISTRY of movement not the chemistry of music. It overlaps only in a few areas not a lot though. But at least you will have a pretty decent day in what you do. i will most liekly be doing the chemistry of art :| i like it but i'd rather biochemistry or forensic personally.
