Where to find glossary terms...

I'm trying to find glossary terms for my subjects (Legal, Bio, Senior Science), and I can't find them anywhere. Does anybody know any resources?

Sorry, I meant glossary terms as in key words for the topic. For example, Biology, Maintaining a Balance, Enzyme - biological catalyst blah blah. Substrate- blah blah.

Just glossary terms that are important for that particular subject/topic.
Thanks

Hi,

I don't do Biology or Senior Science, but for Legal Studies I have never made a straight glossary of terms. Instead I go syllabus dot point at a time and write the relevant information that enables me to answer the "students learn to:" column. However, I have made a glossary for partial and impartial defences with cases and media reference as evidence. I like to see it as learning chunks of an essay at a time.

My teacher recommended today to make a 'glossary' of judgement terms as the marking centre notes commonly says students fail to engage with the actual question and just write memorised information. He said they can definitely used in Economics, Ancient/Modern History and, Business Studies and Studies of Religion to a lesser extent. Some of my more generic words so far are:
- vital
- crucial
- important
- major
- necessary
- significant
- critical
- unnecessarily
- efficient/ly
- mask/ed
- disguised
EditThey're essentially synonyms for each other but some do have a different definition.
Some of my Legal Studies specific(ish) ones from class today:
- game
- secondary goal (legal personal in the criminal trial as a means of finding the truth)
- efficient method of balancing interests (chart negotiation)
- controversial (jury/plea bargaining)
- variable effect on achieving justice (please/jury)

You could have a swarm of palm cards with cases and legislation on them and on the back have the answers to what essay topic they're related to.

I hope some of that can help, I know I'm not a distinguished ATAR achiever so it may not be what you're looking for.

So what you are after basically is a list of key terms and definitions?

You may be able to find something like that in our notes section. For Legal though, I recommend you do this yourself, with the cases and the legislation that you want to use! For the sciences, the list should be more set, so hopefully someone can source something for you! ;D
