Task: Select the corect term for stored energy, identify the type of stored energy of three examples, and describe energy transformations. Assessment focus: potential energy.
This task requires students to calculate the size of angles using their knowledge of angles and parallel lines: alternate angles, corresponding angles and co-interior angles. Understanding of adjacent angles on a straight line is also required.
Task: Match each part of a torch to its name, identify whether the torch in the diagram is on or off and provide evidence for opinion, and suggest ways to make the torchlight brighter. Assessment focus: parts of a torch and the function of some of these parts.
Using a diagram of a torch, students explain the function of the following parts; cell, metal cone, metal strip, spring, and switch. Students also draw a circuit diagram for the torch.
Three key variables related to high altitude flight are displayed graphically. Students use the information provided to answer a series of questions about flight.
Students use stimulus material to answer a number of questions relating to temperature change in materials which are at different distances from a heat source.
Students are given stimulus material on the stopping distance of a toy car released from different heights. Students write an aim, the best way to present the results, identify the measurement required in order to calculate the average speed, and write a conclusion for the investigation.
Students indicate how brightly a bulb would glow in three different circuits. Students then use pictures of four appliances, showing the arrangement of their cells, to draw circuit symbol diagrams illustrating this cell arrangement.
Task: Draw, using symbols, circuit diagrams of three described circuits. Assessment focus: using conventions of circuit diagram; knowledge of circuit construction.
Students answer a multiple choice question about what happens when a magnetised object is cut in half, and then draw the lines of the magnetic field around two magnets.
