3 Look at the diagram of the Sun, the Earth and the Moon.
Earth
Moon
Sun
NOT TO SCALE
(a) We can see both the Sun and the Moon from the Earth.
Complete the sentences.
We can see the Sun because the Sun emits light.
We can see the Moon because light from the sun
is reflected to the Earth.
[2]
(b) We have both day and night on the Earth.
Explain how both day and night happen.
they happen when the sun emits enough light for us to see it
directly to make day and it happens when the sun doesn't emit
enough light but emits just enough for the moon to reflect it

4 (a) Look at the five processes that take place during plant reproduction.
They are not in the correct order.
dispersal fertilisation seed formation pollen formation pollination
Complete the table to show the correct order of these five processes.
One has been done for you.
pollen pollination seed dispersal
fertilisation

[2]
(b) Suggest with a reason how the seeds of an orange tree are dispersed.
suggestion through animals and insects

6 Chen compares sound waves seen on an oscilloscope.
wave showing the sound
from a tuning fork
wave showing the sound
from a hammer
(a) The loudness of sound from the tuning fork and the hammer are the same.
Describe how the waves show that the sounds are the same loudness.
because they have the same
amplitude size [1]
(b) Describe two differences between the sound waves.
1 they have different frequencies which makes them sound a
bit different from each other
2 the tuning fork sound waves are smooth while the hammer
sound waves are crooked

at the start after 10 minutes
Explain the changes seen in the diagram.
Use ideas about particles.
because at the beginning the ink had just begun to diffuse with the
particles but after 10 minutes the ink has already diffused through
most of the particles

carbon dioxide in water.

(b) Aiko investigates the effect of light intensity on the algae.
She puts bottles of algae and orange hydrogencarbonate indicator in different light
intensities.
She leaves the bottles in the light for two hours.
The diagram shows the colours of the hydrogencarbonate indicator after two hours.
no light dim light bright light very bright light
colour of yellow orange red purple
indicator
As the light intensity increases the concentration of carbon dioxide in the bottles changes.
Describe how the concentration of carbon dioxide changes.
Explain your answer.
description it does this when the algae in each jar consumes the
carbon dioxide and uses the light to photosynthesis
explanation because plants always need energy from photosynthesis
and they can only get the energy by consuming the
carbon dioxide in the jar and the light that was provided
[2]
(c) (i) Why is it important to use the same amount of algae in each jar?
to make sure that the results are not biasly produced [1]
(ii) State two other variables Aiko keeps the same in this investigation.
1 volume of the indicator
2 temperature of the indicator
[2]
(d) When a bottle containing algae is kept in the dark the orange hydrogencarbonate indicator
changes colour.
Suggest why.
because plants normally respire in the dark to get their energy
so they use up the oxygen that is present and add carbon [1]
dioxide to their surrounding

9 Carlos investigates the temperature change during some reactions.
Carlos:
• measures 20 cm3 of a liquid in a measuring cylinder
• puts the liquid in a plastic cup and measures the temperature of the liquid
• adds a solid to the liquid and stirs
• measures the temperature of the mixture
• repeats this experiment with different solids and different liquids.
(a) Carlos puts too much liquid in the measuring cylinder.
Look at the diagram of the measuring cylinder and the liquid.

She uses four ammeters in the electrical circuit.
There is an ammeter reading next to each ammeter symbol.
(a) (i) What type of electrical circuit is shown in the diagram?
parallel circuit [1]
(ii) Explain what is happening in the electrical circuit.
Use the readings on the ammeters in your answer.
the current is moving from the negative terminal of the battery
through the closed switch and divides at the 3 branches then it
passes through the ammeters where the ammeters scans
them and detects their flow rate then the current meets back at
the final ammeters which scans the entire current flow rate [2]
then the current finally ends at the positive terminal of the
(b) battery
Write down the name of the equipment that measures voltage.
volt meter [1]

11 Mia feels unwell and visits the doctor.
She complains that she has a lack of energy.
The doctor says this is because there is not enough haemoglobin in her blood.
This is caused by her diet.
(a) What term describes the type of disease caused by diet?
Circle the correct answer.
deficiency disease
developmental disease
genetic disease
infectious disease
[1]
(b) Explain why not having enough haemoglobin in the blood causes a lack of energy.
because it slows down the oxygen transportation and this lowers
the respiration rate
[2]
(c) Circle the element needed to make haemoglobin.
calcium iron potassium sodium [1]
