Amma asked me to explain my Environmental Issues chapter to her in simple words and I froze, which is when I knew I had only memorised it 🥲 Three places where I can recite but not explain: 1. Biomagnification. NCERT's DD
Second attempt, so I've done this chapter before, but I'm still losing marks on immunity assertion-reasons because I rush through. Here is the type I mean written from memory, not an actual question : Assertion: A person
Third attempt, so I'm rebuilding organic from zero with a pencil and a very old notebook. Nomenclature is the part I thought I knew and it turns out I don't. Two structures from a practice sheet: A: CH 2=CH-CH CH 3 -CH 2
Hostel mess ke baad revision, so apologies if I sound sleepy. I did the regulation of respiration section from NCERT and I can write the lines, but when a question twists it, I'm stuck. What I understood: there's a respi
Amma says I should explain things to myself out loud, so here goes, and then you tell me where I'm wrong. A moving coil galvanometer has resistance G = 100\ \Omega and full-scale deflection current I g = 5 mA. To make a
Sorry for posting at 1 am, can't sleep and this chapter is stuck in my head. NCERT says de Broglie's hypothesis explains Bohr's second postulate. I followed the algebra: if the orbit is a standing wave then 2\pi r n = n\
I read Huygens' principle: every point on a wavefront is a source of secondary spherical wavelets, and the new wavefront is the forward envelope of them. NCERT then derives Snell's law for a plane wavefront AB hitting a
One page, five blocks a day, and three rules that stop it from collapsing by Wednesday.
Amma says I study best at 5 am with filter coffee, so here I am with thermodynamics, and the very first page of it is eating me. NCERT says internal energy U is a state function while heat q and work w are not. I can rep
Second attempt, and this time I'm trying to actually understand the "boring" chapter instead of skimming it. Phases of life and flowering behaviour has a table of examples that I realised I could not explain in my own wo
Writing this at 1 am because I can't sleep and apparently neither can my confusion 🙈 Photoperiodism, from NCERT: some plants need a certain light-dark cycle to flower. Short-day plants SDP flower when the day length is l
I redrew the human brain diagram three times and I can label it, but the functions slip away after a day. What I have: the forebrain is the cerebrum, thalamus and hypothalamus. The midbrain sits between the forebrain's t
