Students are provided with five diagrams of different arrangements of atoms. They select which diagram represents water, graphite, oxygen, and carbon monoxide.
Students are given the formula of two different types of chlorophyll. Students name all the elements present, and how the number of atoms differs between the chlorophylls.
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 asked to identify a solid, liquid, and a gas. They are also asked to write down two things that are generally true for each of these three states of matter.
This practical task assesses students' ability to record and graph data, and draw conclusions, as they conduct an experiment on the rate at which an ice cube melts in different temperatures.
For this practical task students follow a plan to determine the effects of a weak acid on different building materials. Students need to put their results into a table and write a conclusion.
This practical task requires students to first plan how they could find out which liquid flows the best. Then they carry out their plan, record their results, and write a conclusion.
For this practical task students complete a table of observations on nine common materials. Students then use their results to group the materials according to similar properties.
This practical task requires students to sort some common items from hardest to softest. Students then explain a test that they used to help determine this.
