Students are asked four short questions that explore their understanding of the Earth's rotation, Earth's revolution, and seasons.

Task: Students describe two features of a skull that suggest it comes from a herbivore. Assessment focus: features of a herbivore's skull.

Task: Students decide what sort of animals two skulls belong to. A self-assessment checklist is included. Assessment focus: using evidence to identify carnivores and herbivores.

Task: students write the sense related to various parts of a dog's body. Assessment focus: sensory organs.

Task: match seed description to a dispersal method. Assessment focus: seed dispersal.

In this task, students look for patterns in electron arrangement in the periodic table. They use their ideas to place missing elements in the table, answer some questions about the patterns, and use the patterns to predict the properties of some elements.

Students are provided with six pictures of animals. They identify those that can fly, and explain what these animals have in common.

Students answer three questions by interpreting a weather map and other forecast information.

Students read about sexual and asexual reproduction in plants, identify an asexual plant by budding characteristics and answer two questions on the advantages of asexual reproduction.

Students draw a line from each genetic term to its correct definition.

Students are required to match plant parts with their function.

A bar graph showing the percentage of endangered species threatened by predation, competition, and/or habitat loss is given. Students use this graph to answer questions and explain the terms; predation, competition, and habitat loss.

Three multiple choice questions ask students to identify the most likely times for sun rise, sun set, and which diagram best illustrates night and day.

This practical task requires students to make observations and draw diagrams about diffusion that occurs when food colouring is added to water.

Task: select a card to show how to control the variables of an investigation into the rolling distance of marbles on different surfaces. Assessment focus: controlling variables.

Task: Use a diagram to answer questions about seasons and day and night. Assessment focus: relationship of Sun and Earth.

Task: Identify examples of experiencing sound. Assessment focus: sound.

Task: Identify direction of currents and explain reason for pattern. Assessment focus: convection patterns.

Task: Interpret the information on a chart to provide evidence of the likely cause of oxygen deficiency. Assessment focus: interpreting data.

Using a diagram of a crab, students explain some of the crab's adaptations.

Task: Explain how a change in the cockle population has affected one or more organisms in a food web in the short and long term. Assessment focus: Sorting observations and inferences; reading food chains and; using a food web diagram to predict impact of change.

15 names of elements and symbols are provided. Students shade in those squares where the symbol correctly matches the name.

Using provided information students answer three multiple-choice questions about numbers of atoms, elements, molecules and compounds.

Students use diagrams to answer questions about atoms, elements, compounds, and mixtures. They are then asked to use these words to describe the differences between diagrams.

Students select the correct written definition of the words element, compound, and mixture.
