End of Year Exam
What to bring to the exam:
You will need a pen, pencil, ruler, and calculator.
A periodic table (showing symbols and atomic numbers only), table of ions and physics formulae are included in the exam booklet
There will be 1 Booklet in the exam; you will have 2 hours to complete the exam.
The Physical World
The Physical World
Energy
Unbalanced forces - Acceleration/deceleration - Change in speed per second
Balanced forces – Stationary, Constant speed in a straight line
Forces: Effects of a force , Types of forces, Measuring forces
Newton’s Laws
Motion graphs - distance/time and speed/time
Distance – time graphs: Slope = speed, horizontal = not moving; curved = speeding up/slowing down
Speed – time graphs: Slope = acceleration, horizontal = constant speed; speed is zero when graph is zero
Gravity and Weight (weight = force of gravity, unit is newtons, on Earth weight in N = mass in kg x 10)
Formula given: v = d/t, a = v/t, F = m a, W = F d
Electricity
Series & parallel circuits
Circuit symbols & circuit diagrams
Conductors & insulators
Charge, current & voltage
Measuring current & voltage
Resistance (and its units)
Static Electricity attraction and repulsion
Formula given: V = I R

The Material World
Atomic Structure & Metals
Solids, liquids, and gases - the particle theory of matter (covered in year 9)
Recognise physical and chemical changes
Be able to describe that different elements have different atoms, atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons
Formulae for simple compounds & write a balanced equation for simple reactions
Be able to name some common metals using the periodic table
Describe the reaction of metal + water metal hydroxide + hydrogen
Be able to explain how the atomic structure of metals relates to their chemical properties
Be able to describe the reaction of metal + oxygen --> metal oxide
Acids and Bases
Name common acids & their formulae
Name common bases & their formulae
Understand that Acids are proton donors and bases are proton acceptors
Describe the effects of acids and bases on litmus and universal indicators
The pH scale
Reactions
Acids + metal metal salt + hydrogen
Acids + metal carbonate Salts + carbon dioxide + water
Know how to name the metal salt
Be able to write symbol and word equations for the reactions of metals (a table of ions will be provided)
The Living World
Ecology
MRS GREN
Feeding Relationships - Food Chains/Food Webs/Pyramid of numbers/(bio)mass/energy
Producers and Photosynthesis- Factors affecting photosynthesis/equation/test for products
Biotic and abiotic factors affecting ecosystems
Producers/Consumers and scavengers/Decomposers
Communities (be able to define and link together) e.g Harakeke community
Adaptations : structural, physiological (functional), behavioural
Natural Selection : Genetic variance vs environmental variance
Structure and composition of DNA
