Tongs, tripod, test-tube rack, weighing balance, bunsen burner, pipette, test-tube brush Apparatus Name Used for Used to pick up or hold hot objects Used for cleaning the inside of a test tube A device used to measure the mass of an object or substance. Used for transferring a small amount (drops) of liquid Used for holding one or more test tubes Used to heat objects A piece of three-legged equipment used as a platform to hold and support glassware usually whilst heating objects (7 marks) (Total: 11 marks) Page 4 of 17

5 2. Cassie has a feather, a small rock, a small piece of metal and a glass bead. She wants to find out if they have different volumes. a) Write a method showing how Cassie can find out the different volumes of each irregularly shaped object mentioned above. Your method should include all the apparatus needed. Method: (4 marks) b. In the space given below, draw a labelled diagram showing the set-up of the apparatus that Cassie needs to use to find out the volume of the irregularly shaped objects. (3 marks) Page 5 of 17

6 c) List three precautions that Cassie has to take during this experiment (3 marks) (Total: 10 marks) 3. This question is about food chains and food webs. a) Fill-in the empty spaces using the correct word. All living organisms (plants and animals) must eat some type of food for survival. Plants make their own food through a process called. Using the energy from the, water and from the atmosphere and nutrients, they chemically make their own food. Since they make or produce their own food they are called. Organisms which do not create their own food must eat either plants or animals. They are called. Some animals get their energy from eating plants while other animals get energy indirectly from plants by eating other animals that already ate the plants. Animals that eat only plants are called. Animals that eat both plants and other animals are called. Animals that eat only other animals are called. Some animals eat only dead or decaying materials and are called decomposers. (8 marks) Page 6 of 17

7 b) Look at this food chain. lettuce greenfly ladybird thrush cat i. What does the arrow in a food chain mean? ii. Name the producer in the food chain iii.

Name one adaptation of body covering or body part that helps the animal to survive in its environment. (8) Animal Adaptation Lives in water Lives in cold, icy climate (tundra) Builds its nest in a tree Feeds on grasses In a population of insects, there were two colour variations: green and brown. One dry summer, all of the grass where the insects lived dried up Page 8 of 17

9 and died. What do you think happened to the insects? Be sure to explain what happened to the green insects and the brown insects. (3 marks) (Total: 11 marks) 5.
