Upcoming Pracs (copied off pat's blog):
CHEM:

Production
- Bromine water/ reactivity of alkene/ane
- modelling (polymerisation)
- modelling (ethanol)
- fermentation
- heat of combustion (spirit burner)
- galvanic cell

Acidic
- natural indicator (purple cabbage)
- soft drink 
- indicators to test acid/base/neutral chemicals
- indicators to test strong vs weak acids 
- modelling weak vs strong / concentrated vs dilute
- pH of salts
- titration
- reflux

PHYS:

Space
- Pendulum 
- Projectile
- Michelson/Morley
- non-inertial vs inertial frame of reference

Motors
- Generating current with coil/magnet
- Predicting effect of distance/strength/relative motion
- Demonstrate AC current
- Transformer
- AC induction motor

Also, here are my weighted subject results so far:
Maths:
25%x45/45 + 35%x78/78 = 60/60
Rank 1/42
Physics:
20%x32.1/40 + 15%x61/70 = 29.12/35
Rank ??/??
Chemistry:
20%x38/52 + 15%x61/70 = 27.69/35
Rank ??/??
English:
15%x11/15 + 15%x11/15 + 15%x12/15 = 34/45
Rank 59/158(or 160 or something)

For phys/chem what i need to study is pracs, then after that just trials trials trials
For Maths, keep studying curve sketching, volumes, mechanics and try to nail them. Keep revising conics, poly, complex if there's time. Integration is easy, just keep revising and study reduction and inequalities. Then harder 3u. Trial papers x 50
For English, write up 2 more essays for mod A, send to Dana then Libby. Also read Julius Caesar and make an essay plan.
For UMAT, keep doing them long ass papers. Try to get a better percentile than the first test.... T_T
