Y8 Science Assessment Cycle 2 (Term 6)

Respiration and photosynthesis are processes that:

• involve the exchange of gases in living organisms

• occur only in animals

• produce only oxygen

• do not require energy

The respiratory system is responsible for which of the following functions?

• Exchanging gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide

• Digesting food and absorbing nutrients

• Pumping blood throughout the body

• Filtering waste from the blood

The digestive system is responsible for which of the following functions?

• Breaking down food and absorbing nutrients

• Pumping blood throughout the body

• Controlling body movements

• Producing hormones for growth

Work and heating in the context of science refer to:

• ways energy is transferred between systems

• types of chemical reactions

• methods of measuring temperature

• forms of matter

The concept of forces can be described as:

• A push or pull that can change the motion of an object.

• A type of energy that is stored in objects.

• A measurement of temperature in a system.

• A property that only exists in liquids.

Electromagnetism is:

• the study of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions

• the study of living organisms

• the study of chemical reactions

• the study of planetary motion

Elements are:

• pure substances consisting of only one type of atom

• mixtures of different substances

• compounds made of two or more elements

• substances that can be broken down by chemical means

The periodic table is:

• a chart organizing elements by increasing atomic number and similar properties

• a list of chemical reactions

• a table of only metals

• a chart of planets in the solar system

Chemical reactions are:

• processes in which substances change to form new substances

• physical changes that do not alter substances

• methods of separating mixtures

• ways to increase temperature without changing substances
