Are you studying last minute??

According to Charles Law,under constant volume when the temperature of the gas increase..its PRESSURE increases as well. The higher the temperature, the higher the pressure.

Yeah the hypothesis is so true epecially when we 're moving towards August 2010...The temperature is rising, day by day..& most of the form5 students are started to feel the heat. To make it worst..the PRESSURE is mounting as high as mount Everest . One of my student said.."Sir, i rasa nak muntah everytime nak revise..so many things to cover.sejarah lah..add maths, chem,bio..not to mention physics..
I answered her.."well thats the price for studying last minute :) " So if u are a form4 who accidentally reads this post...i hope u'll make a better preparation for 2011.

So the big question mark now is how to study last minute??? Is it possible to get good marks??
For me its very subjective, it depends very much on how u handle the mounting pressure. I even had a student who fainted after knowing a BAD trial results..coz if u did it badly in trial, u have about a month to recover. It sounds so frightening right ;) but some of u couldnt be bothered coz at the moment they have this 'tak apa' attitude.

Let's imagine that u are watching a football match. There's only 5 minutes left before referee blow the final whistle. Suddenly u can see players of both team are so energetic. They start to work as a team.. chasing and passing the ball accurately. They are very focused & determined to get the winning goal. Finally the ball touches one of the net in a dying moment and a group of players chasing the goal scorer. Meanwhile the other team lie down on a grass with despair. It all happened in a very last minute of the game..

anyway ..Is it possible to 'score' if we study last minute??

If u analyse the football match.. One team managed to do it and the other one has failed.The same results goes to last minute study.
So if u are doing last minute revision, make sure u stay focus & keep your mind in a positive mode.
Having study group also will help..as in a football match, u'll work better if u help each other. In football the coach helps them to set things right and for u guidance from teacher/tutor will be helpful..but its all rely on how good u are in handling the situation. The main principle for effective last minute study is to leave everything behind and set your study as your only priority. You can leave your problems with your friends, family and even forget about you don't even have a time to 'FACEBOOK' and play PS2. In the end, if u think positive..u can definitely make it!
Here some interesting tips for those 'last minute' students

SPM Physics: Logic gates

Yesterday i teach one of my weakest student logic gates concept. She is the type who has problem to understand physics concept properly. Somehow, when i showed her a concept of logic gates, she tends to be addicted doing logic gates exercises... This shows that she is actually good in logical thinking.

Logic gates is actually a very simple concept learned in Electronics. In fact i can say that it is one of the easiest subtopic provided if u are able to think 'LOGIC' :)
However u need to understand the following basic logic gates i.e NOT,AND,OR,NAND and NOR.
U must be able to construct the truth tables for those gates. Truth table helps us to undderstand the behavior of the logic gates. In other words, it shows how the input of a logic gates relate to its output.

Usually students are a bit blurred on this topic coz they wondered what is actually '1' or '0' means?
keep in mind most of computerised devices work on electrical flow where a HIGH voltage is considered as '1' and LOW voltage as '0'. Logically, it is sorts of a switching system which requires some inputs in order to produce an output.

In SPM, u need to practise lots of paper2 questions on application of logic gates. Usually the question can be tricky..so u must really understand the condition explained in the application.
When actually they apply this logic gate concept??

Well i can give u a simple example.. if u used to wash your clothes using washing machine..we can create a LOGIC input for the machine which looks like this:
to rotate the motor, we need to fill in the water untill to a certain level. Once the water rises to that level..the input will be '1'... but some how it still not rotated...kenapa ya? Ops, may be you lupa nak tutup the 'top cover'. Here where the logic gates play its role..the rotating motor represents the output which depends on the input of the water level & the 'top cover' position. So it needs both input to be '1', then baru dia rotate..
Thus we can use AND gate in this application.
