Task: Read a table to answer questions about when birds are likely to visit a native garden for food. Assessment focus: interpreting a table.

Students are provided with drawings of the main types of fingerprints. Students then make their own fingerprint and those of three other students. They then classify and describe the differences between these prints.

Task: Fill in a chart to identify the damage caused by various animal pests. Assessment focus: specific contextual knowledge about animal pests.

Four diagrams showing different ways plants store food (tuber, bulb, corm, and a tap root) are provided. Students are asked to identify which method of food storage different plants use. Three short answer questions are also included.

Using a labelled flower, students select the parts which are responsible for seed formation, pollen production, and bud protection.

Students explain adaptations of kangaroos and horses to protect their young.

Task: Students interpret information about couch grass from a diagram and explain why its special features make it difficult to get rid of. Assessment focus: special features ensure a plant's survival.

Task: Students read a short written text to explain how the special features of wild ginger help it survive. Assessment focus: explanation of wild ginger's special features and why it is a pest plant.

Task: Interpret a flowchart and text to identify in what ways goats are pests. Assessment focus: identifying ways in which goats are pests and how they are controlled.

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

Task: Use pictures to identify special features of various fish and make predictions as to likely habitats based on these features. Assessment focus: purpose of adaptation in fish.

Students are given results from an investigation looking at light intensity and its effect on the rate of photosynthesis in two plants. Students are required to draw line graphs of this data and then answer a number of questions pertaining to this.

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.

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

Students explain why different animals have their eyes placed in different positions on their head.
