Students interpret a map showing concentrations of ozone in the atmosphere and then answer some questions about the ozone issue. This resource assesses the ability to interpret data, and also knowledge of the ozone layer and associated issues.
Students interpret information about unnamed planets and their length of year to answer questions about their distance from the Sun and the order of these planets from the Sun.
Students are provided with a sequence of diagrams showing the erosion of a waterfall by a river over time. Students complete diagrams for two other waterfall erosion sequences. Each waterfall has different combinations of layers of soft and hard rocks.
Students are provided with a diagram and asked to identify the type of geological process that it represents. Students are also required to explain what happened.
Students are given a diagram of a glacier, and asked to identify natural hazards and the possible effect of increased temperature on the position of the glacier snout.
Students read a passage about a genetic characteristic found in a family. They use this information to complete a representation of an inheritance diagram by shading in and naming the persons of this family. Lastly a question about dominance and recessiveness is asked.
Task: Answer a multiple choice questions about what would be seen on earth if a meteor hit the moon, and explain why that answer is correct. Assessment focus: how sound and light travel.
Students formulate questions about glaciers and climate change to show awareness that informed opinions are based on inter-related aspects of evidence rather than individual instances.
Students use the Modified Mercalli intensity scale to assign magnitudes to three described earthquakes. Then they interpret data about the distance from an epicentre, and explain why, from given information, one earthquake might be more damaging than another.
For this task students are provided with a diagram showing the landmasses that originally made up Gondwanaland. Students are required to identify and use their own knowledge to indicate the evidence which indicates that these landmasses were once joined together.
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.
Students are provided with drawings of three methods to collect gases and the characteristics of four gases. Students match the gases with the method of collection that would need to be used.
Using provided data students decide which of three liquids would freeze if placed in a freezer. Students explain what happens to particles when they freeze and how the level changes due to freezing.
