this workbook for?
‘This workbook will help you to develop your knowledge and skill in science.
As you work carefully through it, you should find that you get gradually better and
better at doing things such as:
+ using your knowledge to work out the answers to questions, rather than just
remembering the answers
+ organising, displaying and using data from secondary sources
+ planning experiments, recording results, drawing graphs and making.
conclusions.
How is the workbook organised?
The workbook exercises are arranged in the same order as the topics in your
coursebook.
Each exercise has the same number as a topic in the coursebook.
‘There is not always an exercise for each topic, For example, there is an exercise for
cach of topics 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4. There is no specific exercise for topic 1.
“The exercises will help you to develop the skills you need to do well in science.
‘The exercises are not quite the same as the questions that you will meet in the
Progression Tests or your Checkpoint examination. This is because the exercises
are to help you to get better at doing particular things, rather than testing how well
you can do them.

Exercise 1.4 Plants in space - Extension
You will need to use both your own knowledge and the information in the box
to answer these questions. Some of the questions will make you think back to
topics that you learnt about last year ~ gravity and soil
Read the information, and then answer the questions that follow.
The International Space Station has been orbiting the Earth since the year
2000. More than 200 astronauts, from many different countries, have worked
on the Space Station
Some of the astronauts carry out experiments to investigate how plants grow
in space. The plants are grown in small, enclosed, transparent containers,
‘They are given artificial light. Air and watcr are pumped around their roots.
‘The experiments show that, when there is no gravity at all, the plant roots and
shoots grow randomly in all directions, So some of the plants are spun gently
in a machine called a centrifuge. This produces a force to which the plants
respond just as they would respond to gravity.
One experiment has tested how the plants grow in different kinds of soils. If a
soil has very large particles, the water in it escapes easily: The water forms litle
droplets and floats away into the air. Ifthe particles in the soil are very small,
then air does not flow through it casily and the roots don’t get enough oxygen
to survive,
Phe plants grown in the Space Station include dwarf wheat, strawberries and
mizuna. If humans ever travel to Mars, they will need plants to provide them
with oxygen and food. ‘The experiments also show that the astronauts enjoy
e plants.
4. Suggest why the plants in the Space Station are grown in enclosed containers,
2 Suggest why water has to be pumped directly to the plant roots, rather than just
poured into the container from a watering can,

Exercise 2.2 _ Energy requirements
inthis exercise, you will practise Finding information in a written passage, and
ina bar chart. Make sure that you write the answers in your own words ~ don’t
just copy sentences from the passage.
Read the information, and then answer the questions.
The cells in your body are always using energy. All of their energy comes from
the nutrients in the food that you eat ~ especially from carbohydrate and fat.
Cells can also get energy from protein.
If you eat too much of these nutrients, your cells do not use all of the energy
from them. Your body turns the extra nutrients into fat. The fat is stored,
mostly just below the skin.
If you don’t eat enough of these nutrients to provide all the energy your cells
need, the cells have to find another source of energy: They break down the
body’s fat stores to provide energy. You lose weight.
Different people need different amounts of energy each day. In general, men,
use more energy than women, People who have active lives use more energy
than people who spend a lot of time sitting down

Exercise 2.4 Functions of the digestive system
There’s a diagram showing the different organs in the digestive system on
page 24 in your coursebook. Their functions are described on page 25. This
exercise will help you to lear the position of each organ, and to link each
function,
Decide which organ carries out each of the functions in the list below.
Then use a ruler to draw a label line to the organ in the diagram, and label its
function, You could write in the name of the organ, too, if you like.
You will need to write in some of the functions more than once, because they are
carried out by more than one organ.

Exercise 2.6 How do teeth help in digestion?
This exercise gives you practice in planning an investigation. It will also
help you to think about how teeth and enzymes each have a part to playin
digestion. You may be able to carry out your investigation after your teacher
has checked it. IF so, do make improvements to it if you think of any while you
are working.
We use our teeth to break food up into smaller pieces. This helps enzymes to get at
all parts of the food, so they can break the large molecules into small molecules.

Exercise 3.2. Hummingbirds
Data that you have not collected yourself is said to be a secondary source. In
this exercise, you will practise organising, displaying and interpreting data
from a secondary source. You will also practise looking for correlations in data
Hummingbirds are very small and very active birds. They feed on nectar, which
they collect by inserting their beaks into lowers as they hover.
Scientists measured the body masses of ten hummingbirds. They also measured
the mass of the heart of each hummingbird, These are their results,
hummingbird | body mass 2.2g, heart mass 0.053
hummingbird 2. body mass 7.5g, heart mass 0.13,
hummingbird 3. body mass 9.8g, heart mass 0.18 g

Exercise 3.3 | Adapting to high altitude - Extension
Do you know the altitude at which you live? This exercise asks you to think
hard about how the human body can make changes to allow a person to live
even at very high altitudes, where oxygen is in short supply. You will need to
link together information given in writing, information given in two graphs, and
also your own knowledge. Not easy!
‘There is much less oxygen in the air at high altitudes than there is at low altitudes.
When a person moves quickly from a low altitude to a high altitude, they may
get out of breath very quickly and feel ill, This is because they cannot get enough
oxygen into their blood.
However, if they move upwards mnore gradually, their body has time to respond to
the change by making more red blood cells.
A party of trekkers wanted to walk from Phakding to Everest Base Camp in
Nepal. They planned their trek carefully, to give their bodies time to adjust to the
changes in altitude, The graph shows their plan.

You may be able to make or use a model like the one described in this
exercise. Thinking hard about how it works will help you to understand how
breathing movements make air move into and out of the lungs. You will need
to use what you know about gas pressure, which is explained on pages 76 to
77 in the coursebook.

This exercise involves using new information, and what you have already
learnt, to work out the answers to questions. You will also think about how
different animals are adapted to reproduce in different ways.
Read the information below, and then answer the questions that follow.
Tn mammals, including humans, fertilisation happens inside the body. A sperm
cell fuses with an egg cell inside the oviduct. This is called internal fertilisation
In most amphibians and fish, fertilisation happens outside the body. The
female lays her eggs in water. Then the male adds sperm cells to them. The
sperm cells swim through the water, find the eggs and fertilise them.
Amphibians, such as tree frogs, have to go back to water to breed. Tree frogs
often lay their eggs in little pools of water that are trapped in holes in trees, or
in bromeliad plants,

When people talk about gold, you might have heard them say it is 24 carat or
18 carat. What does ‘carat’ mean? It is a unit to describe how pure the gold
24 carat gold is pure gold. If the carat number is lower than 24, then the gold
is mixed with another metal ~ it is an alloy. The other metal is usually silver or
copper.
Acarat stands for one twenty-fourth. So you can use the unit to work out exactly
what proportion of an alloy is gold.
24 carat gold is 24 x 57 = 5
tis twenty-four twenty-fourths gold, so it is pure gold,
1_9
9 carat gold is 9X — = =.
It is nine twenty-fourths gold.
‘The remaining fifteen twenty-fourths are other metals.
How hard the ‘gold’ is depends on the amount of gold used and the type of metal
used to make the alloy

than 24 carat. He tells the customer that a ring with a lower proportion of gold

interpret data concerning the loudness of soun
‘Our ears can hear a great range of sounds, from very soft to very loud. The
Iouciness of a sound is measured on a scale called the decibel scale. The decibel
(AB) is the unit of loudness.
‘The diagram below shows the scale and shows some typical sources of sounds
with their loudnesses.
Answer these questions, based on the diagram
1, Which end of the scale (left or right) has the loudest sounds?
2 Which is louder, a car or a motorbike?

Exercise 11.5 Range of hearing
In this exercise, you will interpret data concerning the different frequencies of
sound which we can hear.
he frequency of a sound tells us the number of vibrations per second in a sound
wave.
Frequeney is measured in units called hertz (Hz). 1 Hz = | vibration per second.
High frequencies are measured in kilohertz (kHz).
I kHz = 1000 Hz = 1000 vibrations per second.
‘The range of human hearing is from 20 Hz.to 20000 Hy.
1 What is 20000 Hz in kHz?
2G
uld a person with normal hearing hear a sound of 45 kHz?
As people get older, their range of hearing decreases. The graph shows how the
highest frequency which can be heard decreases as someone gets older.

The picture above shows an experiment to find out the highest frequencies which
students can hear.
8 On the picture, label the signal generator and the loudspeaker.
When the teacher turns the dial, the frequency of the sound from the loudspeaker
increases. The students put their hands down when they can no longer hear the
sound,
9 Some students have their hands up while others have put their hands down,
What conclusion can you draw from this observation?
10. The teacher suspects that some students are not giving honest responses; they
are keeping their hands up even when they can no longer hear the sound,
How could he check if he is right?

very hard to measure the speed of light. ‘The picture shows how Galileo tried to
measure the speed of light in the seventeenth century.

+ His friend stood on a distant hill,
+ Galileo flashed his lamp and started his clock at the same moment.
+ When his friend saw the light, he flashed his lamp back towards Galileo.
+ When Galileo saw the flash, he noted the time taken on his clock.
Unfortunately, this method didn't work. This was because the light travelled
very quickly from one hill to the other. It took only a tiny fraction of a second.
It took much longer for his friend to see the light and react to it, flashing his
own lamp,
This method would work quite well if Galileo wanted to measure the
speed of sound. If his friend was 3000 m away, how long would the sound
take to travel between the two hills? The speed of sound is about 300 m/s.

2 Why does a piece of iron become magnetised when you stroke it with a
permanent magnet?
Scientists imagine that a piece of iron is made up of many tiny regions called
domains. Fach domain behaves like a tiny magnet with its own magnetic field
+ Ina piece of unmagnetised iron, the domains are all jumbled up. Their
magnetic fields cancel each other out
+ When the iron is stroked with a magnet, each domain is attracted by the
magnet, The domains all «urn round so that they become lined up. Then all
their magnetic fields add together to make a strong field.
