Task: Label a picture with ways to protect ourselves from the Sun, and describe why we need to do so. Assessment focus: protection from the Sun's rays.

For this practical task students create a sundial by marking observations and recording the time for each hour, and answer questions about shadows and sundials.

In this NEMP task students look at photos to describe similar and different environmental features of the moon, the Earth, Mars and the sun. Assessment focus: The solar system. In the original NEMP task the assessor gave oral instructions, read the questions and wrote the answers for each student.

Students are asked three multiple-choice questions that relate to tides, the full moon and a solar eclipse.
