Dont know what is that?! Check this video out.

Yeap real-time sharing website.

The holiday homework on rivers have been uploaded there! you can download, or view it on the spot and the best thing is ; you can even comment on it! for example, you spot an error on slide 50, in which i spelled erosion as erossion. Then you can make a note there :D

Isn't this cool :D

SO why are you waiting for !

Go Bonkers over Biology

2009-06-21T20:26:00.004+08:00

Hey y'all, I came across these while revising for Biology today. Nope, it's not in the syllabus but it's cool to know these. Enjoy.

Retinoblasma

Retinoblastoma (Rb) is a rapidly developing cancer which develops in the cells of the retina, the light detecting tissue of the eye
There are two forms of the disease; a genetic heritable form and a non-genetic non-heritable form
The most common and obvious sign of retinoblastoma is an abnormal appearance of the pupil, leukocoria. Other less common and less specific signs and symptoms are: deterioration of vision, a red and irritated eye, faltering growth or delayed development. Some children with retinoblastoma can develop a squint.
In children with the heritable genetic form of retinoblastoma there is a mutation on chromosome 13, called the RB1 gene.
The genetic codes found in chromosomes control the way in which cells grow and develop within the body. If a portion of the code is missing or altered (mutation) a cancer may develop.
The defective RB1 gene can be inherited from either parent, however in some children, the mutation occurs in the early stages of fetal development. It is not known what causes the gene abnormality; it is most likely to be a random mistake during the copy process which occurs when a cell divides.

Gene Therapy

Gene therapy is the insertion of genes into an individual's cells and tissues to treat a disease, such as a hereditary disease in which a deleterious mutant allele is replaced with a functional one.

Pencillion

Penicillin (sometimes abbreviated PCN or pen) is a group of antibiotics derived from Penicillium fungi. Penicillin antibiotics are historically significant because they were the first drugs that were effective against many previously serious diseases such as tuberculosis, syphilis, and staphylococcus infections. Penicillins are still widely used today, though many types of bacteria are now resistant.

Protoplast VS Spheroplast

A protoplast is a plant, bacterial or fungal cell that had its cell wall completely or partially removed using either mechanical or enzymatic means.
Protoplasts - Have their cell wall entirely removed
Spheroplasts - Have their cell wall only partially removed.
More generally protoplast refers to that unit of biology which is composed of a cell's nucleus and the surrounding protoplasmic materials.

I've done this new simple layout, hoping for a new beginning.

Do comment, tyvm.

We need to talk

2009-06-16T21:02:00.003+08:00

Listen 4A,

I'm sorry for neglecting this blog for such an extremely long time but we definitely need to talk. Being an ISC person, the S part of me takes control when it comes to issues like these, I have no courage (or guts) to talk to you guys in class, reason because 1, obviously no one will take what I say seriously and you guys respond by minding your own business and leaving the Class Comm and myself to speak to the walls (tyvm), 2, it's also a chance for me to blog over here, to save this non-living thing from entering the doors of oblivion.

For starters, I thank those who have been constantly checking for updates over here, tagging, and keeping this blog/journal alive for months. Thank you. I also thank those who have uploaded pictures and putting up reminders on homework assignments and such, Thank You.

All i need for you is to constantly refer to this blog. Some of you people complain that it's not updated or rather, it is outdated. Have you ever questioned that mindset of yours, why in the name of 4A, was it not updated? Is there any point of us to constantly review and update over here? Sure we could upload videos on the wonders of Science or formula lists from youtube but will everyone take time off to actually visit this blog? You don't want it to be boring, fine, come visit this site more often. It's not only my responsibility, or, the responsibility of those who have the usern and passw to blog over here. This is our class blog, anyone can update. I've shown you the usern and passw when the blog started, surely if you have forgotten, you could have write us a note on Post-Its to request for the details right?

I'm sorry for being blunt, and I hope I am not hurting anyone's feelings by raining on your parades like that. I sincerely apologise. However if this goes on, I'd rather shut this thang down and we get on to our lives in class, face-to-face, the non-IT-savvy way.

Why not leave this abandon blog over here to rot and be forgotten instead? Because I wouldn't want to image of 4A to be ruined, to be tainted with the impression of sloppiness and a tad possibility of uselessness.

People say, "Choices have Consequences", I'm giving you a choice and I hope you'll bear the consequences in mind.

I am not trying to say that everyone of y'all is at fault. I am certainly not. I just hope that with this, we'll work together as a class to ace the big 'O'. Just like the trainers mentioned, won't the scene be beautiful and splendid if we all aced it together, as a class, a big happy bubbly family?

with love,
Estelle

PS: for those who haven't noticed that little note pasted on the front door of our tiny classroom, we actually have an English blog. Please do support, for those who ace their essays hands-down, please submit essays and share them with us. It's a little favour I'm asking from you. Thank you.

Hello everyone

I know since it's such a wonderful week to catch up on your assignments, I'm just going to do everyone a favour and post the homework over here so you can save yourselves from the nags and everything we'll get from our teachers (because it's going to be a very very important year next year where we'll all sit from papers that will determine our lives after education). In any case, be good and complete your homework ok? (:

Elementary Math
Exercise 13E Page 387: Question 2, 4, 6, 10, 11 and 12
To be done on ~~fulscap~~ A4 sized writing paper

Additional Math
Revision Exercise 10-12 Page 301-303
To be done on A4 sized writing paper
(Solutions are posted on Commontown already)

Chemistry
Visit Commontown for Powerpoint slides on The Atmosphere and Environment. Complete Worksheet 16 from the Workbook. There'll be a quiz on this chapter when school reopens(which is idk when and whether or not it will be graded).

Chinese
For those who are given Chinese homework, please remember to complete it. Those under Mdm Seah, you have an extra of 20exercises of Cloze Passage to be done. There'll also be a quiz/test on chen yu for us(cries).

Okay, that'll be it.

Merry Christmas!

To fellow classmates,

"Nope, i am not playing truant!" says i.

I got an MC from the Doctor yesterday and was forced to stay at home. In any case, so i decided to update and upgrade the class blog. I hope it's okay, although i still haven't gotten the class list yet.

Okay, just a few tips to those who wants to blog.

Firstly, the line height is small such that if you try to enlarge certain fonts, they will overlap-Monday 24^th March.

Secondly, try not to use light colours because it may be difficult for some people to see what bloggers are typing.

Please sign off

That's about it. Please and thank you!
