2 The Biochemistry of Movement
3 Shipwrecks, Corrosion and Conservation
4. The Chemistry of Art
5. Forensic Chemistry

 

[pLuvia]

Most likely industrial Chemistry if not then we shipwrecks

 

[sikeveo]

Industrial Chem is good.

 

[Dreamerish*~]

Just a note. If you don't do Biology or Physics, and avoiding the Forensics option is possible, then avoid it.

The only science I study is Chemistry, and I found I had to put in extra effort for Forensics because I wasn't as familiar with DNA, proteins or mass spectrometry.

Forensic for me

 

[Sparcod]

We're probably doing Industrial Chem.
It's similar to the first core topic i think.

In the past we did Industrial Chemistry. Now, we're going to do Shipwrecks, Corrosion and Conservation and this year's HSC students are the first at our school to do this elective.

 

[Riviet]

We do the shipwrecks/corrosion module at my school.

Isnt forensics really hard?

Isnt forensics really hard?

It's all organic chemistry. Organic chemistry is a lot of memorising.

Although I don't know if forensics is hard or not.

 

[*yooneek*]

i'd give anything to do forensics!!!:uhhuh:

but we're doing shipwrecks...
oh well... sounds ok i guess

 

[pLuvia]

It's better if you biology to do Forensics I heard

EDIT: as Dreamerish said

 

[Riviet]

Yeah, i wouldn't mind doing forensics, i actually have an interest in CSI and similar stuff.

 

[pLuvia]

Bump school is coming up soon

Rivvy dear, there's a big big difference between watching CSI and answering a 7-marker on how electrophoresis separates amino acids.

I am really into forensics, and i am doing bio, chem & phys, i think i'll try forensics. Mainly because i am interested in it. Ask me a question on it and i'll be happy to answer it. Just not lengthly questions.

 

[pLuvia]

But you don't get to choose it Jono Your teacher chooses it, or if they were nice let's you vote on it

Actually, you can. But teachers usually advise you against it. If you want to do an option different to that of everyone else, then you can request to do so (according to my HSC tutor). I advise you against it too, unless you can find a really excellent tutor who can give you a few lessons per week.

Well i think our school is doing Shiprecks, conservation and corrosion, topis, and i think i will understand forensics better.

Judging by your other subjects, I think you would too. I can imagine Forensics being a breeze for those who already understand DNA, proteins and mass spectrometry - because that's pretty much all of it.
