Students compare drawings of a healthy and unhealthy plant and decide which quantitative and/or qualitative data distinguishes them. This is a mathematics/science resource.

Task: Students draw a picture of a burning candle to show changes that occur. Assessment focus: representing the way particles behave when material undergoes temporary and permanent changes.

Students use a diagram that shows a food web to answer five questions about the information within the food web.

Task: Students interpret a graph to answer questions, and use background knowledge to justify their responses. Assessment focus: control of body temperature in different types of animals.

Task: Students apply both their knowledge of the functions of roots and information from a model to explain why care is needed when transplanting trees. Assessment focus: interpreting diagrams.

Students use information on nine elements from the periodic table to answer four short questions.

Task: Select the correct words to decribe what is happening to light as it travels through a drop of water. Assessment focus: scientific vocabulary.

Students categorise statements according to whether they are evidence or inferences. They make inferences about moa, supporting them with evidence. Assessment focus: thinking in scientific ways.

Students use a table on solubility/insolubility of 16 compounds to determine the validity of four statements and justify with evidence from the table.

Students look at two diagrams. The first shows iron nails in test tubes with boiled water or tap water, the second shows iron nails with moisture either present or absent. Students answer five questions about these investigations.

Information on particle size and boiling point is provided for three alcohols. Students use this to place these substances in order of particle size and increasing boiling point.

The liquid range for four common substances has been provided. Students use this to answer questions about melting point, boiling point, and state.

Students are asked one multiple-choice and one short answer question about fair testing.

Students select which type of sugar would dissolve fastest and explain why.

This resource requires students to process information on an earthquake. This entails calculating the distance that the recording stations are from an earthquake's epicentre, locating the epicentre, calculating the magnitude, and answering general questions on earthquakes.

Students indicate for each of six different variables those that need to be kept the same for an investigation about dissolving different types of sugar.

Students are provided with a table that gives them some properties of five different materials. They answer four short answer questions that involve interpreting information from the table.

Students explain a plastic recycling symbol. This resource assesses an aspect of knowledge helpful for making decisions about recycling.

Task: sort cards and answer questions orally. Assessment focus: classification of animals.

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

Task: Measure 100mL of water into three different pieces of equipment. Weigh the result and calculate the precision of using that piece of equipment. Assessment focus: measuring and evaluating the accuracy of equipment.

Task: Use displacement to measure volume. Assessment focus: displacement.

For this practical task students investigate convection currents when tea leaves are placed into a beaker of water that is being heated. They are asked to make observations and to provide an explanation of what they have observed.

This practical task is about heat absorption. From a given list students choose the equipment they would use to heat cold tap water as much as possible. Students complete the investigation, explain why each piece of equipment was selected, and record their results.

Students are provided with a diagram of a rocket showing the different stages. Students use this to answer four questions.
