2 Level 4 1. Brine shrimps and flamingoes (a) A brine shrimp is a tiny living thing. It lives in lakes and eats algae (green plants). Brine shrimp Flamingoes eat brine shrimps. They filter the shrimps from the water. Look at the picture of the flamingo. Describe one feature of the flamingo s neck that helps the flamingo to feed.... (b) Write the food chain for the three living things described above. John Buchan Middle School 2

3 (c) The lakes dry up in hot weather and fill up again when it rains. When the lake is dry the adult brine shrimps die, but the eggs do not. Explain why it is important to the life cycle of brine shrimps that the eggs do not die when the lake dries up Nature walk (a) Some children draw a food chain about living things they see in the garden. There is a mistake in their food chain. What is the mistake in their food chain? (b) The children correct their food chain. They make a table showing if each animal in the food chain is a predator, prey or both. Tick ONE box in each row of the table to show whether each animal in the food chain is a predator, prey or both. Animal Predator Prey Both caterpillar bird cat 2 marks John Buchan Middle School 3

6 3. Brine shrimps (a) Joanne is watching 5 brine shrimps in a container. She has covered the container to make one half dark and one half light. How many brine shrimps were in the dark after 30 seconds?... (b) Amy and Rebecca planned to investigate whether brine shrimps prefer to swim in the light or the dark. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Amy s Plan Put 1 shrimp in one dish. Watch the dish for 5 minutes. Record the amount of time the shrimp was in the light. Compare the amount of time the shrimp spent in the light with the time spent in the dark. Rebecca s Plan Put 10 shrimps in one dish. Watch the dish for 1 minute. Count how many shrimps were in the light every 10 seconds. Compare the number of shrimps seen in the light with the number out of sight in the dark. John Buchan Middle School 6

7 Look at Amy s plan. What measurements should Amy compare to decide whether shrimps prefer light or dark? (c) Look at Rebecca s plan. How did Rebecca work out how many brine shrimps were in the dark each time she looked? (d) Look at Amy s and Rebecca s plans. (i) Which do you think is the better science plan? Tick ONE box. Amy s Rebecca s (ii) Explain why John Buchan Middle School 7

8 4. Butterfly garden (a) This diagram shows the life cycle of a red admiral butterfly. John wants to get rid of all the nettles in the school wildlife area. This will affect the red admiral butterfly. Give TWO different reasons why nettle plants are important in the life cycle of the red admiral butterfly. (i)... (ii)... (b) Some birds eat caterpillars. Use the diagram to help you complete the food chain below bird... 8 John Buchan Middle School 8

9 5. Vegetable Patch (a) Kami sees all of the things below while he is working in his vegetable patch. Tick FIVE boxes to show which of these things are living. 2 marks John Buchan Middle School 9

10 (b) Kami grows cabbages in his vegetable patch. Some of the cabbages are eaten by snails. Some of the snails are eaten by birds called thrushes. Write a food chain to show this information. Use arrows in your food chain marks (c) A cabbage has many leaves. Tick ONE box to show why leaves are important to a cabbage plant. The leaves... attract insects. collect pollen. anchor the plant in the ground. produce new material for growth. (d) Kami cuts a cabbage in half. The leaves on the outside of the cabbage are dark. The leaves on the inside are a pale yellow colour. Which statement best explains why the leaves on the inside are paler? Tick ONE box. The leaves on the inside of the cabbage get... less light. less water. more minerals. more air. John Buchan Middle School 10

11 6. Animals in their environment (a) Draw THREE lines to match each of these animals to the environment in which it lives. (b) Highland cows look different from other types of cow. Look at the pictures of the cows. How are Highland cows better protected against cold weather than Jersey cows? John Buchan Middle School 11

12 (c) These animals live in different environments. Complete the table below to describe ONE feature of a Polar Bear. Say how the feature helps the Polar Bear to live in its environment.

Shell of periwinkle A Shell of periwinkle B The shell of periwinkle A is smaller than the shell of periwinkle B. Describe ONE other way the shell of periwinkle A is different from the shell of periwinkle B.... (b) Periwinkles do not have bones inside their bodies but they do have a shell. The shell does not help the periwinkle to move. Describe ONE function of the shell.... (c) A scientist wants to find out if the area the periwinkles live in affects the size of their shells. He measures a sample of 20 periwinkle shells from two different areas of the seashore. Why does he measures 20 periwinkle shells from each area instead of just one periwinkle? John Buchan Middle School 13

14 (d) Explain why it is important to return the animals to the same place they were collected from (e) The scientist measures how much water is in a rockpool. After five hours the water level in the rockpool is lower. No waves splashed into the rockpool during this time. No water could leak out. Rockpool Rockpool after 5 hours Describe what happened to the water in the rockpool during the five hours.... John Buchan Middle School 14
