Once he got the idea there were no issues so far with dependent and independent events, just repetition will improve his confidence in his answers more.

Needs to work on using critical thinking and problem solving skills, as well as communication in science. Needs to use what is in front of him and what is given to him to answer questions relating to chemical equations, and how they demonstrate the law of conservation of mass. He must use his knowledge to think of how molecules are interacting within a chemical equation inorder to explain what is happening and how products are formed.

Was able to show an understanding of how balancing chemical equations represent conservation of mass. Was able to read chemical molecule representations and infer the number of each element in a molecule which was good to see. Also did well in identifying the qualitative observations that can determine a chemical reaction has taken place, such as color change, texture, and the production of gas.

Needs to work on building an understanding on the significance of atoms and how they make up matter, and also the basics of how they interact in simple chemical reactions to form new substances. Showed a good understanding of the rusting of iron in terms of what is formed, but still need to work on the specifics of how the oxygen and iron atoms interact. Needs to work on understanding why for instance rusting causes the iron to become heavier, and notice that the oxygen atom added on causes and increase, and needs to be able to use his knowledge of balancing equations to explain why this does not go against the conservation of mass.

Was able to plot the dots on the graph very well and neatly, used a pencil which was good to see. Was able to understand most of the principles of combustion and was able to provide reasoning as to why it is an exothermic reaction which was good to see. For mathematics, he showed good logic in explaining more complex questions involving theoretical probability, such as rolling different outcomes with a die, i.e. rolling 2 even numbers, or 1 even and 1 odd number.

Needs to practice more on drawing the line of best fit, making sure he understands the purpose of this and how to make a judgement on where the line of best fit should go. Needs to work on using balancing logic for chemical reactions, in order to know the amount of atoms and molecules that are going in a reaction. Needs to realize that molecules in a particle diagram should be connected as they are bonded, that is what makes them a molecule. Needs to work on referencing graph data and using scientific terminology to answer science questions. Also needs to practice in this case of chemistry; using knowledge to explain graph trends, and providing knowledge and identifying the chemical equation involved. For mathematics he needs to practice a bit more on understanding the logic behind without replacement probability questions, this is best done through tree diagrams.

Did really well with a composite shape questions, realizing that he had to minus the area of the base of the shape on the surface to find the true surface area. Was able to use given multiples of the diameter in a question to find the true radius of a shape. All units were correct (but I would advise making sure he always puts the units for every single question where necessary). Was able to realize, when surface areas are covered by other shapes in composite shapes, to not include the covered surfaces into the surface area equation.

Needs to practice using the triangular formula and being more mindful of the 1/2 in the formula. Also needs to realize when the perpendicular height is not given and not use a side length as the height. Adding onto to this, he needs to know when to use the Pythagorean theorem in more complex questions to find unknown lengths.
