Things to know for the 10SCI EOY exam

Content:
- Ways to reduce water use
- Effect of salt concentration on boiling point of water
- How an organism’s environment influences its adaptations
- Impact of pollution on marine ecosystems
- Properties of acids vs. bases
- Properties of metals vs. non-metals
- How we can use indicators to determine pH
- How our immune system uses antibodies to protect from pathogens
- Structure of a plant flower
- Structure of a plant leaf

- Types of fossil fuels, how they are formed and where they are located
- How distillation can separate substances with different boiling points
- Difference between elements, compounds and mixtures
- How we make energy from fossil fuels
- Explanation of how ocean acidification occurs
- Explanation of the greenhouse effect
- Impacts of climate change / global warming
- How we can reduce the rate of climate change
- Word equations for the following reactions: Acid + base, acid +
carbonate, acid + metal, photosynthesis, respiration.
Skills
- Know how to interpret food chains, food webs and food pyramids
- Know how to interpret tables and graphs
- Know how to correctly draw tables and graphs
- Be able to identify independent, dependent and controlled variables in
an investigation
