Students are given two equations describing the burning of petrol. Students identify each as either complete or incomplete combustion and then describe two disadvantages of incomplete combustion.
Students classify six common substances as either a solid, liquid, or a gas. Students then group these substances into elements, mixtures, or compounds.
Task: Describe where water goes when washing is drying and from a swimming pool, and discuss factors that affect this process. Assessment focus: evaporation.
Students list four properties of copper metal and state if each property is physical or chemical. Students then explain how copper sulfate solution can be separated.
Explain how to test if a solution is an acid or not, and describe and explain what happens if rusty nails are put in an acid. Assessment focus: acid reactions.
Students answer a multi choice question and draw and explain their understandings about heat convection in a hot water cylinder. Assessment focus: Using science ideas to explain heat convection.
Task: Students place in order four beakers of copper sulphate solution from most to least concentrated. They then explain what would happen if two beakers were put together, and explain the term "concentration". Assessment focus: solutions.
Students are provided with drawings of three methods to collect gases and the characteristics of four gases. Students match the gases with the method of collection that would need to be used.
Using provided data students decide which of three liquids would freeze if placed in a freezer. Students explain what happens to particles when they freeze and how the level changes due to freezing.
Students draw diagrams to show the particle arrangement in a solid, liquid, and a gas. Students then describe the differences in arrangement and movement of the particles for each of these states.
