graph interpretation
heating curve
octane
particle nature of matter
Students are provided with a graph of the heating curve for octane. Students use this to answer questions about state, temperatures, and changes of state.

graph interpretation
heating curve
liquid
particle nature of matter
Students draw a graph from some information they are given about the heating of meths in a water bath. Students then explain in terms of particles what is happening for the sloping section and the flat section of the graph.

food preservation
graph interpretation
graphs
moulds
Students are given a graph that shows how many days it took for bread placed in different areas to grow mould. Students use this graph to answer three short questions.

variables
Task: Identify the variables for testing how fresh water and salt water affect rusting. Assessment focus: planning a fair test.

Keywords:
changes
dissolving
melting
vocabulary
For this practical students observe some activities which illustrate melting and dissolving. They write sentences about what they observe and then write what they think melting and dissolving mean.

Keywords:
changes
dissolving
observation
sugar
For this practical students make observations about dissolving, and plan and carry out an investigation to find out what makes sugar dissolve more quickly.

Keywords:
changes
fair testing
iron
rust
Students look at two diagrams. The first shows iron nails in test tubes with boiled water or tap water, the second shows iron nails with moisture either present or absent. Students answer five questions about these investigations.
5

Keywords:
changes
fair testing
variables
From a diagram of an experimental set up, students answer questions based on fair testing principles. Questions cover the control of variables, and measurement of results.
