How to use this book
Introduction
These Practice Papers have been written to provide final preparation for your 11+ Science test.
This book includes six single-subject training tests for Biology, Chemistry and Physics (two
for each subject) and five 11+ papers modelled on the actual exam papers. The single-subject
training tests are divided into one simpler paper which tests your basic understanding of the
subject and a second, more challenging paper, which assesses your ability to analyse and apply
your scientific knowledge.
The Practice Papers will help you to:
@ become familiar with the way 11+ tests are presented
@ build your confidence in answering the variety of questions set
@ work with increasingly difficult questions
@ tackle questions presented in different ways
@ build up your speed in answering questions to the timing expected in the 11+ tests.
The final test in the book is designed to be a Mock Exam to test your preparation shortly before
you sit the real paper for entrance to your next school. As in real papers, it contains questions
that are similar to those you have already practised using this book. This should be your
experience when you sit your real 11+ paper.

Pre-Test and the 11+ entrance exams

The Galore Park 11+ series is designed for Pre-Tests and 11+ entrance exams for admission into
independent schools. These exams are often the same as those set by local grammar schools.
Many schools set the ISEB 11+ Science exam, although some schools set their own and it is
possible that ifyou are applying for more than one school, you will encounter more than one of
type of test.
To give you the best chance of success in these assessments, Galore Park has worked with 11+
tutors, independent school teachers, test writers and specialist authors to create these Practice
Papers. The content covers the National Curriculum Programmes of Study for Key Stages 1 and 2
up to the end of Year 5, as well as the ISEB syllabus to the end of Year 5 and the 11+ examinable
material in Year 6.

‘For parents [oo oo ooo coco ceo

These Practice Papers have been written to help both you and your child prepare for both
Pre-Test and 11+ entrance exams.
For your child to get maximum benefit from these tests, they should complete them in
conditions as close as possible to those they will face in the exams, as described in the
‘Working through the book’ section on the next page.

The time allowed to complete questions gets shorter as the book progresses to build up
speed and confidence.

Some of these timings are very demanding and reviewing the tests again after completing
the book (even though your child will have some familiarity with the questions) can be
helpful, to demonstrate how their speed has improved through practice.

This book has been written for teachers and tutors working with children preparing for both
Pre-Tests and 11+ entrance exams. The syllabus coverage to the end ofYear 5 (both National
Curriculum and ISEB) and ISEB Year 6 examinable material, has been compressively reviewed
to ensure questions are asked on all subject areas.

Working through the book

The contents and progress record helps you to understand the purpose of each test and track
your progress. Always read the information in this chart before beginning a test as this will give
you an idea of the content and how challenging the test will be.
You may find some of the questions hard, but don’t worry — these tests are designed to build up
your skills and speed. Agree with your parents on a good time to take the test and set a timer.
Prepare for each test as if you are actually going to sit your 11+ (see ‘Test day tips’ below):
@ Complete the test with a timer, in a quiet room, noting down how long it takes you, writing
your answers in pencil. Even though timings are given, you should complete ALL the questions.
@ Mark the test using the answers at the back of the book.
@ Go through the test again with a friend or parent and talk about the difficult questions.
@ Have another go at the questions you found difficult and read the answers carefully to find out
what to look for next time.
The answers are designed to be cut out so that you can mark your papers easily. Do not look at
the answers until you have attempted a whole paper. Each answer has a full explanation so you
can understand why you might have answered incorrectly.
When you have finished a test, turn back to the contents and progress record and fill in
the boxes:
@ Write your total number of marks in the ‘Score’ box.
@ Note the time you took to complete ALL the questions in the ‘Time’ box.
After completing the book you may want to go back to the earlier papers and have another go to
see how much you have improved!

Test day tips

Take time to prepare yourself the day before you go for the test. Remember to take
sharpened pencils, an eraser, a calculator and a watch to time yourself (if you are
allowed — there is usually a clock present in the exam room in most schools). Take a
bottle of water in with you, if this is allowed, as this will help to keep you hydrated and
improve concentration levels.

... and don’t forget to have breakfast before you go!

When Jane Goodall was a child she dreamt of going to
Africa to see some of her favourite animals in the
g
_ wild. She particularly liked chimpanzees. One of her
_ favourite toys as a child was a toy chimpanzee, which
she loved to play with.
When she grew up she went to Africa and met the
‘British archaeologist Louis Leakey who offered her a
_ job studying chimpanzees.
Jane had no formal training or education. This may
_ have actually helped her as she had her own unique
_ way of observing and recording the chimps’ actions
and behaviours. Jane spent the next 40 years of her
life studying chimpanzees. She discovered many new
_ and interesting things about the animals.
Jane observed a chimp putting grass into a termite
_ hole in order to catch termites to eat. She also saw
_ chimps remove leaves from twigs in order to make a tool. This was the first time that
animals had been observed using and making tools.
_ Jane also discovered that chimpanzees hunted for meat. They would hunt as packs, trap
_ animals, and then kill them for food. It had been thought before this that chimps only
_ ate plants.
Jane observed many different personalities in the chimpanzee community. Some were
| kind, quiet and generous, while others were bullies and aggressive. She saw the chimps
_ express emotions such as sadness, anger and joy.

(a) Using your knowledge about the characteristics of living things, suggest four
processes that make a chimpanzee a living thing compared to Jane’s toy
chimpanzee, which is not.

7 Read the following passage and then answer the questions below.

Carl Linnaeus was born in 1707, in Sweden.

Before Linnaeus, living things had names that could be made up of as many as ten
Latin words strung together!
As a result of his work, living things are divided into separate kingdoms: animals,
plants, bacteria, fungi and single-celled organisms. The living things in each of these
kingdoms have characteristic features.
Each kingdom is then divided into smaller groups. For example the animal kingdom
is divided into vertebrates and invertebrates. ‘[hese groups are then divided again
and again until you have the name of a single living thing.
Living things now have a much simpler two-part Latin name. Humans are Homo
sapiens.

(a) Suggest one reason why studying plants and animals would have been difficult for
scientists before Linnaeus.

(1)
(b) Suggest why fungi are in a separate kingdom.

the male sex cells are contained in the ______and transferred

to the female sex cells in the ____in.a process called

pollination. Sexual reproduction produces offspring with characteristics that vary

from the characteristics of the parent animal or plant.

Some microscopic animals reproduce asexually by splitting into two when they reach

a certain size. Plants can reproduce asexually by a variety of methods. The offspring

are CCC thee parent plant. Plants often use both methods

3 Jane Goodall is a scientist who studies chimpanzees in East Africa.

Here are some facts that she noticed

about the behaviour of chimps in the
wild.
@ Chimps can walk along the ground and are
very good at swinging through the trees.
@ Chimps spend some time grooming each
other’s fur.
@ Chimps eat fruit, leaves, insects, eggs
and meat.
®@ Chimps usually give birth to one baby,
which is fed on milk.
@ Chimps use tools, for example thin sticks
used to ‘fish’ for insects in small holes.

Use the information in the list and in the picture to answer these questions.
(a) To which animal group do chimpanzees belong? Explain your answer.

Sexual reproduction in plants and animals involves the fusion (1) of male and female sex cells in a process
called fertilisation. (1) In plants, the male sex cells are contained in the stamen (1) and transferred to the
female sex cells in the carpel (1) in a process called pollination. Sexual reproduction produces offspring with
characteristics that vary from the characteristics of the parent animal or plant.
Some microscopic animals reproduce asexually by splitting into two when they reach a certain size. Plants can
reproduce asexually by a variety of methods. The offspring are identical (1) to the parent plant. Plants often use
both methods of reproduction.

zinc would chip off during use. (2)
3 (a) Chimpanzees are mammals. (1) They have fur (1) and feed their young on milk (1). (3)
(b) Chimpanzees are omnivores. (1) (They eat plant and animal material.)
(c) Their hands and feet are shaped to help them to grip in the trees. They have learnt to use tools to
help them find food. They can move around on the ground and in the trees. (1 mark each for any two
valid suggestions.) (2)

 (d) Endangered species have so few individuals left that they are in danger of extinction. (1)
(e) People can help by protecting the chimpanzees’ habitat. (Accept valid alternatives, e.g. by captive breeding
and reintroduction.) (1)
(a) 20 + 10 = 30, 100 - 30 = 70g of the smallest particles. (1 mark for the correct answer with the correct unit,
1 mark for showing working.) (2)
(b) Soil A is sand. (It has mostly larger particles.)
Soil C is clay. (It has mostly the smallest sized particles.)
Soil B is loam. (It has a roughly even distribution of particle sizes.) (2)
(2 marks for all three correct, 1 mark for 1 correct)
(c) This material is called humus. (1)
(d) They could weigh equal masses (1) of the three soils and place each in turn in the apparatus. The water would
be allowed to drain through for the same length of time (1) (accept a given sensible time, e.g. 1 minute). The
volumes of water collected in the measuring cylinder for each sample would be compared. (1) The one with the
most water allows water through quickest. (1) (Accept valid alternative methods.) (4)
(e) Soil A would drain most quickly (1) because it contains the biggest particles (1). (2)
Circuit B The lamp will be brighter than A. (There is an additional cell in this circuit) (1)
Circuit C The lamp will be the same as Circuit A. (Two cells facing in one direction and one in the opposite direction
have the same effect as one cell). (1)
Circuit D The lamp will be off. (There is a short circuit so the electricity does not flow through the lamp.) (1)
(a) Plants need light, water and warmth to grow well (1 mark each). (Accept mineral salts.) (3)
(b) Plants use the process called photosynthesis (1) to make their own food.
(c) Compost (dead plant material, ie. humus) adds nutrients (mineral salts) to the soil/helps to retain water/
improves soil structure. (1 mark each for any two suggestions.) (2)
(d) He could shake the soil with water (1) filter the mixture (1) and test the filtrate with litmus/red cabbage
extract. (1) If the soil is alkaline, the litmus will turn blue/red cabbage extract will turn green (1). (4)
(a) ThermometerA reads 31 °C. (1)
Thermometer B reads —5 °C. (1)
Thermometer C reads 80 °C. (1)
(b) (i) The force is measured in newtons (N). (1)
(ii) The distance is measured in kilometres (km). (1)
(iii)The volume is measured in cubic centimetres (cm3). (1)
(iv) Your mass is measured in kilograms (kg). (1)
(v) The area is measured in square metres (m2). (1)
(c) Measure the thickness of a known number of pages (1) and then divide by the number of pages to give the
thickness of one page. (1) :
(a) The two planets with orbits closest to Pluto are Neptune and Uranus. (1 mark each)
(b) The force that keeps objects such as Pluto in orbit is the gravitational force of the Sun. (Accept gravity.) (1)
(c) The information in the question suggests that Pluto was discovered so late because it is very small (1)
and very far away from Earth (1), which made it difficult to spot. Telescopes were not good enough to allow
astronomers to see Pluto earlier. (1) (Any two good reasons required.) (2)
(a) A shadow is made when light is blocked (1) by an opaque object. (1) (2)
(b) Moving the puppet away from the screen will make the shadow bigger (1) and less sharp. (1) (2)
(c) Materials that allow some light to pass through are described as translucent. (1)

(c) The mass of the cloth after 15 minutes is 23 g (or as shown by the line drawn on the graph).
(1 mark for correct answer as shown on the graph, 1 mark for showing construction lines on graph
to show how the answer is found)
(d) The mass of the dry cloth is 12 g. (You can tell this because the mass does not drop below this figure,
showing that no more water is being lost.)
(e) The cloth in the shady place would dry more slowly (1) because it would be cooler (1) and therefore
the water would evaporate more slowly. (1)
