Refine Current Search

Students calculate the cost of hiring a search and rescue helicopter and compare this cost with another helicopter company's charges.

Students calculate the repair charges of two different garages, graph them, and explain the results.

Students identify different shapes from clues about their properties and then create their own clues to share with a buddy.

Students identify towns and cities on a map using compass points.

Students write short paragraphs using geometrical terms to describe two pictures. The terms equilateral, scalene, and isosceles are to be used to describe a castle. The words circumference, diameter, and radius are to be used to describe a bicycle.

For this task students are required to record, in a table, the compass bearings of objects shown on a submarine radar screen. Distances from the submarine are also recorded.

Students draw in places onto a map following compass directions given in relation to existing landmarks.

Students write the bearing and distance of a number of objects on a radar screen.

Students decide what information is required to calculate an average.

Students need to interpret data about travel time to school and common after-school activities and identify which statement is true from a list of given statements.

Students answer questions from a histogram of distance of discus throws. Calculation is required.

Students identify a correct statement about the overall distribution of a graph and explain their reasoning.

Students decide if a graph is suitable to display category data and explain the reasons.

Students answer one question about diet given the type of beak that birds have. Students are also asked about how scientists might investigate information about moa.

Student solve addition problems where the missing value is located in different positions. This may mean that students transform the problem into a subtraction one. Students reflect on the easiest and hardest problems, and explain their choice.

For this NEMP task students performs a series of increasingly difficult addition problems presented in vertical algorithms.

Task: multiple choice questions and interpreting a diagram. Assessment focus: phases of the moon.

Students show probabilities by shading a spinner.

Students calculate the weight for different numbers of soccer balls and calculate the weight for a given number of soccer balls.

Students calculate the shapes with the largest and smallest perimeter and identify a relationship between the features of a shape and the perimeter.

Students solve number problems involving the addition and subtraction of fractions.

Students select a true statement about the area of three shapes on a grid.

The assessment focus is on student ability to identify details that support the main idea of a text, and to identify where the main idea is developed.

Students create a vignette with a focus on writing pieces that are brief, descriptive, and set in one point in time. They should not be concerned with plot. As the emphasis is on quality rather than quantity, students need to show a controlled and elegant skill in writing and use figurative language to 'show' rather than 'tell'.

This is a collection of science tasks across the science capabilities and contextual strands.
