Fukui Entrance Science study plan

Fukui Entrance Science · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Physics - mechanics and energy (force, motion, work, energy)

  • Solve 20 single-body force problems (resultant force, friction, normal force) and draw a free-body diagram for each before calculating

  • Compute work, kinetic energy, and potential energy for 15 mixed problems, stating which conservation law applies before substituting numbers

  • Derive and apply the equations of uniformly accelerated motion to 10 problems involving inclined planes or falling bodies

  • Build a one-page formula sheet linking force, acceleration, work, and energy, and annotate each formula with the condition under which it is valid

Your checkpoint

A graded set of 45 worked mechanics problems with a self-scored error log listing every mistake by cause (misread, formula, algebra, unit)

Week 2

Physics - mechanics and energy (force, motion, work, energy) & Chemistry - chemical reactions and equations (oxidation, reduction, neutralization)

  • Solve 15 multi-step energy problems (pendulum, spring, braking distance) and verify each answer with a second method

  • Write and balance 20 chemical equations, including 5 combustion and 5 redox reactions, and label oxidation numbers for every atom

  • Identify the oxidizing agent and reducing agent in 10 redox reactions and explain electron transfer in one sentence each

  • Distinguish physical change from chemical change in 10 described scenarios and justify each with evidence

Your checkpoint

A two-column worksheet: 15 mechanics solutions cross-checked by a second method, plus 20 balanced equations with oxidation numbers shown

Week 3

Chemistry - chemical reactions and equations (oxidation, reduction, neutralization)

  • Complete and balance 15 neutralization reactions, naming the salt produced in each

  • Calculate amounts of acid and base needed for neutralization in 10 titration-style stoichiometry problems

  • Classify 20 everyday reactions as oxidation, reduction, neutralization, or precipitation, with the reasoning written out

  • Explain, in 5 short written answers, why conservation of mass holds in a closed reaction system

Your checkpoint

A 30-question self-made reaction quiz with an answer key and a short written explanation for each classification question

Week 4

Physics - electricity and magnetism (circuits, current, voltage, magnetic fields) & Physics - waves, light, and sound

  • Draw circuit diagrams for 10 series and 10 parallel combinations and compute equivalent resistance, current, and voltage at each element

  • State and apply Ohm's law and the power formula to 15 problems, checking units at every step

  • Sketch ray diagrams for plane mirrors, convex lenses, and concave mirrors in 8 cases and state whether the image is real or virtual

  • Solve 10 wave problems using wave speed, frequency, wavelength, and the reflection and refraction relationships

Your checkpoint

A circuit-and-optics portfolio: 20 solved circuit problems with diagrams plus 8 labeled ray diagrams, reviewed against a checklist

Week 5

Chemistry - matter and particles (states, mixtures, separation) & Chemistry - atoms, molecules, ions, and the periodic table

  • Classify 15 substances as pure substance, compound, or mixture, and select a separation method (filtration, distillation, chromatography, recrystallization) for each with a reason

  • Describe the particle model for solids, liquids, and gases and use it to explain 6 observed phenomena such as diffusion and thermal expansion

  • Map the first 20 elements to their symbols and group numbers and predict ion charge for 10 of them

  • Explain the difference between atoms, molecules, and ions using 5 concrete chemical formulas as examples

Your checkpoint

A one-page reference card covering separation methods, particle-model explanations, and a periodic-table fragment with predicted ion charges, self-tested by recall without notes

Week 6

Biology - cells, reproduction, and heredity & Biology - digestion, respiration, circulation, and excretion

  • Label the stages of mitosis and meiosis on a self-drawn diagram and state the chromosome number at each stage

  • Solve 12 genetics problems using Punnett squares, including 4 involving two traits, and state genotype and phenotype ratios

  • Trace the path of blood through the heart, lungs, and body and match each organ to its function in digestion, respiration, and excretion

  • Explain the roles of enzymes, villi, alveoli, and nephrons in 4 short written answers linking structure to function

Your checkpoint

A hand-drawn human body systems map with blood-flow arrows and a separate genetics problem set of 12 fully worked solutions

Week 7

Biology - plants, ecology, and the environment & Earth science - geology, strata, fossils, and Earth's history

  • Compare photosynthesis and respiration in a table covering location, inputs, outputs, and energy conversion

  • Interpret 5 food webs and predict the effect of removing one producer or consumer, writing the reasoning as a short causal chain

  • Read 5 stratigraphic columns and determine relative age, identify an index fossil, and explain one unconformity

  • Order 6 geological events from a described rock sequence and justify the ordering using superposition and cross-cutting principles

Your checkpoint

A field-notebook style write-up: one food-web analysis and one stratigraphy interpretation, each with a labeled diagram and a written conclusion

Week 8

Earth science - weather, atmosphere, and astronomy & Physics - mechanics and energy (force, motion, work, energy) & Chemistry - chemical reactions and equations (oxidation, reduction, neutralization)

  • Interpret weather maps and explain the formation of fronts, clouds, and precipitation in 5 written answers

  • Re-solve every item missed in the mocks and write a one-line correction rule for each recurring error type

Your checkpoint

Two timed mock results with a domain-accuracy table and a final one-page error-rule sheet for last-week review

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 80% on a 20-question mechanics and reaction quiz, and complete 10 balanced redox equations with correct oxidation numbers without notes

Week 4: Solve 10 mixed circuit problems at 75% or better and produce 8 correct ray diagrams; identify any domain still below 60% accuracy for reweighting in weeks 5-6

Week 6: Complete a 12-problem genetics set with correct genotype and phenotype ratios in at least 10, and label all major organs and blood-flow paths on the body map from memory

Week 8: Reach 75% or higher overall on both timed mocks with no single domain below 60%, and have the error-rule sheet finished
