Particles move up an down - perpendicular to the normal or point of origin. This is an example of a ______________ wave

Transverse wave

100

The point of origin for an Earthquake within the crust.

Focus

100

If 20 mL of water is added rather than 15 mL of water each day over two weeks to plant A then growth will be faster. 


This is an example of a __________

Hypothesis

100

The interaction of living and non-living things within an environment forms an E__________________

Ecosystem

100

In the Electromagnetic spectrum the wave with the longest wavelength yet the smallest frequency is a

a) Gamma rays

b) Microwaves

c) Radiowaves

c) Radiowaves

200

Height of a wave from the horizontal straight line (normal/origin)

a) Wavelength

b) Amplitude

c) Crest

b) Amplitude

200

The point on the Earths surface normally above the point of origin.

Epicentre

200

AIM: To determine the melting point of dark and milk chocolate. 

Identify the dependent variable (measure)

Melting point (temperature)

200

Identify a producer.

Any plant/grasses
200

Vibration of air particles produces .......

Sound

300

Calculate the wavelength given a velocity of 2m/s and a frequency of 4 Hz.

W = V/f         2/4          = 0.5 m

300

The movement of tectonic plates up and down that causes Earthquakes is a form of 

a) Strike and Slip fault

b) Reverse fault

c) Normal fault

a) Strike and Slip Fault

300

AIM: To determine the boiling point of milk and dark chocolate.

Identify three controlled variables (constants)

- Same amount of chocolate

- Identical heating source

- Same thermometer

300

Give an example of an omnivore and outline their diet.

Most humans 

Consume plants and animal products

300

Frequency is measured in ______

Hertz

400

Describe sound reflection and given an example.

Sound travels through air and reflects off solid surfaces to produce echo. 

Echolocation is an example of sound reflection used by dolphins and nocturnal animals such as bats to communicate during the night.

400

Describe heat transfer within molten (semi-liquid) magma. 

Heat transfer occurs through convection currents. 

Hot liquid rises to the surface as it is less dense. This cools down and falls to create circulating convection currents.

400

In a line graph the HORIZONTAL has the 

I____________ Variable (change factor)

In a line graph the VERTICAL has the 

D__________ Variable (measure factor)

Horizontal = Independent variable

Vertical = Dependent variable

400

Give three examples of a decomposer and describe their role in an ecosystem. 

Decomposers recycle dead plant/animal matter. 


ANY of the following;

Maggots, Worms, Bacteria, Some type of fungi


400
Name a terrestrial land based organism present in each of the following environments;


a) Desert

b) Rainforest

c) Bushland

.

500

Describe one of the properties of light in detail;

a) refraction

b) reflection

c) Dispersion

a) refraction - light changes speed and direction as it passes from one medium to another. 

b) reflection - the angle of incidence equals the angle at which light reflects off a reflective surface such as a mirror. 

c) dispersion - white light is made of different colours/wavelengths and is broken into these colours/wavelengths when it passes through a glass prism or rain drop (rainbow formed).

500

A scale used to measure the intensity of an Earthquake. Ten is the highest on the scale.

Richter scale

500

To determine the melting point (temperature) of milk and dark chocolate. 

What goes along the VERTICAL axis (measure)

What goes along the HORIZONTAL axis (change factor) 

Vertical = temperature (melting point)

Horizontal = type of chocolate (milk and dark)

500

Grass --> Rabbit --> Fox 

Identify the FIRST TROPHIC LEVEL

Identify the FIRST ORDER CONSUMER 

Identify the SECOND ORDER CONSUMER (indicate if its a herbivore, omnivore or carnivore

FIRST TROPHIC LEVEL = Grass

FIRST ORDER CONSUMER = Rabbit

SECOND ORDER CONSUMER = Fox (carnivore)

500

The absence of air in a vacuum means sound is _______

Not produced and therefore cannot be heard.
