KS3 Science Unit 7B: Reproduction Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer Question The way frogs and humans reproduce and care for their young are different. Describe these differences. Suggest a reason why frogs produce so many tadpoles. Expert Teacher Answer Frogs use external fertilisation. They have to be in water to make this successful. The female lays 100s of soft bodied eggs and the male releases sperm at the same time. Some of the eggs may not get fertilised, some of them will be eaten by predators. The frogs do not show any care for their offspring. Humans use internal fertilisation. There is more chance of a sperm fertilising an ovum, so only one or two are released on a monthly cycle. Babies are nurtured for many years before they are independent. Frogs produce so many tadpoles to increase the chances of survival. Many will not reach maturity because they will have been eaten. Humans do not need to produce so many young because as they are nurtured for such a long time, there is a greater chance of survival.

Expert Teacher Answer Acids and alkalis are in many things that are in everyday use. Carbonated drinks, fruit drinks and aspirin are examples of weak acids. Baking powder, antacids, soap are examples of weak alkalis. Strong acids and alkalis are corrosive and are found in laboratories and are used by industries. The acid in our stomachs is a strong acid. Acids and alkalis can be used to neutralise each other. Alkaline antacid tablets can be used to neutralise excess acid in the stomach and, as vinegar is a weak acid, it can be used to neutralise wasp stings, which are alkaline. The neutralisation process produces a salt + water, and sometimes a gas as well. The salts that are produced are very useful e.g. Bath Salts, Epsom Salts, fertilisers, sodium chloride - ordinary salt that has many uses.

Just learn what forms when magnesium burns or reacts with acid. Then you will be able to work out what any other metal would form.' Say whether or not you agree with the teacher and explain you reasons Expert Teacher Answer I mostly agree. When magnesium burns the equation is: Magnesium + Oxygen -> Magnesium Oxide. Other metals have similar equations but they don't all burn as brightly as magnesium. When magnesium reacts with acid it always makes a salt and hydrogen gas. Most other metals do the same, but copper does not react with acid. Also, there are a lot of different salts. When the metal or the acid changes, the name of the salt changes. So the reactions are not exactly the same. KS3 Science Unit 7G: Particle model of solids, liquids and gases Exercise No: 1 Name: What is Chemistry ?

KS3 Science Unit 7G: Particle model of solids, liquids and gases Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer Question Describe the three states of matter, you must mention their properties and the arrangement of their particles. Expert Teacher Answer The three states of matter are solids, liquids and gases. In solids the particles are fixed together, they stay in the same place but are constantly vibrating. This means that solids keep their shape, do not flow and cannot be compressed. In liquids the particles can slide past each other this means they can flow and they assume the shape of the part of the container that they occupy . There is little if any space between the particles so that liquids cannot be compressed. In gases the particles are not touching with large spaces between them and are moving very rapidly. This means that gases can be compressed and that they spread out to fill the shape of their container.

Which is the solvent and which is the solute in this solution? 2. What happened to the salt particles as the solution was made? and 3. How could I separate the salt from the water again? Expert Teacher Answer In this solution the water is the solvent and the salt is the solute. When the solution was made, the water particles bumped into the salt particles and made them separate from each other. Eventually all the salt particles were separated from each other and they spread out through the water particles, creating a solution. To separate the salt from the water you could heat up the solution which would make the water evaporate and this would leave just the salt behind.

KS3 Science Unit 7K: Forces and their effects Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer Question How can you tell if the forces on an object are balanced? Give some examples of forces that can balance each other. Then explain what would happen if one of each pair increased. Expert Teacher Answer It will stay still, or continue to travel at a steady speed in a straight line, and its shape will not change. Weight can be balanced by upthrust, the reaction of the floor or tension in a spring. If the weight is increased, the other forces would have to increase as well. The upthrust on a boat increases if it sinks lower in the water. The thrust of a car engine can be balanced by friction and air resistance. If the friction gets bigger, the car slows down.

KS3 Science Unit 7L: The solar system and beyond Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer Question Explain why Earth depends on the Sun and how the other planets are affected by the Sun. Expert Teacher Answer The pull of gravity from the Sun holds our solar system together, so that all the planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is a star, so it gives out heat and is our light source. The Earth?s axis is tilted, so as it orbits the Sun, we get the different seasons. As the Earth rotates on its axis, we get night and day. Altogether there are nine planets in our solar system. The further away the planet is from the sun, the larger its orbit time around the sun, and the colder it is. Mars is a lot colder than Earth, followed by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, each getting colder, until you get to Neptune and Pluto which are the coldest planets.

Respiration only occurs when animals are running. KS3 Science Unit 8B: Respiration Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer Question Describe and explain what happens to your heart rate and breathing rate when you start running? Expert Teacher Answer Your heart rate and breathing rate both increase. Muscle cells need to respire faster when you run so that they can release more energy for movement. The equation for respiration is glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water, so cells need more oxygen and glucose, and more carbon dioxide has to be removed. The increased breathing rate speeds up gas exchange in the lungs. The increased heart rate speeds up the delivery of oxygen and glucose to the cells, and the removal of carbon dioxide.

Incorrect Answer 2 Incorrect Answer 3 KS3 Science Unit 8C: Microbes and disease Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer Question How have we become healthier than our great-grandparents? Expert Teacher Answer Edward Jenner was the first of many in our history to discover a vaccine against disease. Scientists then discovered the existence of microbes. Different diseases were found to be caused by different microbes. Man discovered how our blood cells react to destroy microbes in our body and many new vaccines were found to deal with different diseases. There is still some debate over the value of different vaccines, such as MMR. New vaccines are being discovered to deal with new diseases such as HIV. Antibiotics were first used during World War II and these were very useful initially. Today some antibiotics are not working so well because the microbes are constantly mutating and changing. This has given rise to MRSA, microbes that can be found in some hospitals and these have been called 'superbugs' because they are so difficult to destroy. Overall we are now much more healthy than our great-grandparents and child mortality rates due to disease have fallen dramatically.

KS3 Science Unit 8D: Ecological relationships Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer Question Genetically modified foods promise higher yields but it is feared they will reduce the variety of wild plants and invertebrates found on farms. Why would this have a 'knock-on' effect on vertebrates and how could you find out if the fears are justified? Expert Teacher Answer All living things are part of food webs. When one population changes others are always affected e.g. insect-eating bird populations would fall if there were fewer invertebrates for them to eat. To be sure, you should grow a GM crop, and an ordinary crop of the same plant, in fields with the same physical environmental factors. Then use quadrats, pooters etc to sample the wild plants and invertebrates in each field. KS3 Science Unit 8E: Atoms and elements Exercise No: 1 Name: 1. Elementary my dear Watson!

Do you think that this is a good description of atoms? Explain your answer. Expert Teacher Answer Elements are simple substances, made up of very small particles called atoms. There are approximately 100 elements known to man, yet it is very difficult to estimate the number of compounds that exist. This is because compounds are made by joining atoms together in different combinations. There is no limit to your imagination when confronted with a box of 'Lego', as you can create whatever you like by assembling the pieces together in different ways. Elements are similar. For example, your body contains three main elements, oxygen, carbon and hydrogen. These elements can be combined together to make many different fats, proteins, carbohydrates, sugars, and that is just for starters. They are also present in the DNA found in the cells of your body. Yet the element carbon is also an important ingredient in objects such as your pencil case, computer, MP3 player and in fact anything made of plastic!!

Hot Metal Question Which of the following makes a molten metal cool down and solidify? Answers Correct Answer All 3 of these. Incorrect Answer 1 Incorrect Answer 2 Incorrect Answer 3 Emission of infra red radiation. Convection currents in the air. Conduction of heat to the air. KS3 Science Unit 8I: Heating and cooling Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer Question As soon as magma shoots out of a volcano, it starts to cool down. Explain where the heat goes to, how it gets there, and why the magma shrinks slightly as it cools. Expert Teacher Answer Heat always spreads from hot areas to cold areas, so it would move from the magma to the air and the ground around it. It would move from particle to particle by conduction - which would be fastest through solids, especially metals. The heated air above the magma would rise by convection and cold air would takes its place, so that conduction could continue. The hot rock would also give off infra-red radiation. As the temperature drops, the particles lose energy and move about less. They take up less space, so the magma contracts.

KS3 Science Unit 8J: Magnets and electromagnets Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer Question What is a magnet? Expert Teacher Answer A magnet is an object made of certain materials which create a magnetic field. Every magnet has at least one north pole and one south pole. By convention, we say that the magnetic field lines leave the North end of a magnet and enter the South end of a magnet. If you take a bar magnet and break it into two pieces, each piece will again have a North pole and a South pole. If you take one of those pieces and break it into two, each of the smaller pieces will have a North pole and a South pole. No matter how small the pieces of the magnet become, each piece will have a North pole and a South pole.

Expert Teacher Answer First the object vibrates. This causes the particles in the air surrounding the object to vibrate by producing compressions and rarefactions in the air. The air particles transmit the sound waves to the ear. This causes the eardum to vibrate, then the bones in the middle ear, then the oval window to the cochlea (or inner ear). The liquid inside the cochlea vibrates and transmits the sound waves to tiny hairs. These vibrate depending on the frequency of the sound wave and by vibrating they send electrical impulses along nerves to the brain. The brain makes sense of the loudness and pitch of the sound.

KS3 Science Unit 9A: Inheritance and selection Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer Question Farmers use selective breeding and cloning to produce new plants and animals. Say what is involved in each technique, describe the genetic makeup of the offspring produced and explain how this affects the amount of variation they show. Expert Teacher Answer Selective breeding produces improved varieties by combining sex cells from the best parents. Each offspring gets a unique selection of genes so there is a lot of variation. Repeated selection can gradually improve the characteristics of the population. Cloning produces large numbers of identical individuals very quickly. A whole plant or animal can be grown from a single cell. Clones have identical genes so they don't show much variation. Plants, and some invertebrates, have always reproduced asexually. Plants can be cloned artificially using tissue culture and some animals can be cloned using genes from one parent.

KS3 Science Unit 9J: Gravity and space Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer Question 1. Explain why your bathroom scales would give different readings on different planets. 2. The scales would register zero in the space station. Does that mean there is no gravity there? Explain your answer. 3 Artificial satellites are put in two main type Expert Teacher Answer 1. Even if the scale tells you your mass in stones or kilograms, it is using your weight in Newtons to get the reading. This is the force of gravity pulling you towards the centre of the planet. A planet with more mass would have a bigger gravitational force and give a larger weight in Newtons. Your mass would be unchanged but you would not be able to read if from the same scales. 2. The Earth's gravitational pull is still very strong where the space station is. The scales read zero because the orbiting space station is falling towards the Earth. It stays in orbit because its horizontal motion makes it follow a curve as it drops - which exactly matches the Earth's curve. 3. The two main types of orbit are geostationary (used for communications) and low polar (used for weather monitoring).

Question Type: Statement Choice No.16: Balancing Question An object is balanced when: Answers Correct Answer the clockwise and anticlockwise moments are balanced. Incorrect Answer 1 Incorrect Answer 2 Incorrect Answer 3 the clockwise and anticlockwise forces are balanced. opposite forces are equal in size and direction. one force is nearer to the pivot than the other. KS3 Science Unit 9L: Pressure and moments Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer Question Levers and hydraulic systems can both be used in machinery to multiply forces. Explain how each of them would be able to double a force. Expert Teacher Answer Levers multiply forces if the load is closer to the pivot than the effort. When the distance is doubled the force doubles. The equation is: anticlockwise moment = clockwise moment, where moment = force x distance from pivot. Hydraulic systems have 2 pistons joined by a tube of fluid. The liquid is incompressible so it transmits pressure equally in all directions. This makes a piston with double the area exert double the force.
