Key takeaways

Say Yes demonstrations belongs to earth science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Say Yes demonstrations to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Say Yes demonstrations from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The "Say Yes" demonstrations were a series of simultaneous political demonstrations held in major cities across Australia on 5 June 2011 to coincide with World Environment Day. The gatherings were organised as demonstrations of some public support for political action on climate change in Australia, including support for mitigation, investment in renewable energy and decommissioning of fossil fuel power stations and polluting industry. The largest individual gatherings attracting 10,000 in Melbourne and 8,000 in Sydney.

Description The "Say Yes" campaign was started with actors Cate Blanchett and Michael Caton appearing in a national television advertisement. The demonstrations were organised by Say Yes Australia, a coalition of community groups, environmental organisations, unions, associations and other groups and was apolitical. All demonstrations were peaceful with no injuries or arrests. The Federal Treasurer, Wayne Swan, attended the Brisbane rally. In Canberra, the ACT Chief Minister, Katy Gallagher, was in attendance.

Locations and attendance Melbourne - 10,000 Canberra Sydney - 8,000 Brisbane - 5,000 or 2,000 Adelaide - 5,000 or 3,000 Perth - 3,000 Hobart

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Say Yes demonstrations

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Say Yes demonstrations claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In earth science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Say Yes demonstrations before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Say Yes demonstrations ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Say Yes demonstrations

In research: Say Yes demonstrations appears in earth science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Say Yes demonstrations in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Say Yes demonstrations is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2011 in the environment, Australian history stubs, Climate change in Australia, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Say Yes demonstrations outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
