a) green lace wing flies because they help to get rid of aphids

b) For sudden drop in population size, remember the following causes :

(i) drought / famine
(ii) disease
(iii) introduction of predators
(iv) migration (seasonal)
(v) change from larva to pupa etc.

Use them in the order above.

The spirometer measures volume of air that enters and leaves the lungs.

Graph is showing volume of air on the y-axis.

Although it is not stated on the axis we can quite safely interpret that the graph is showing the volume of air inside the lungs because it never reaches zero (if volume of air is zero, the lungs collapsed which causes death).

Therefore, B is exhaling as the volume of air in the lungs decreases.

Good Morning


Not sure if someone has posted this before…

Q23 is based on Simple Machines!
Strange as this topic has been dropped from the syllabus 1 year ago!

Ans key for :
bi) It would move towards the flask with black surface.
ii) Black surface absorbs heat faster, thus causing the mouth of the flask to expand faster. The coloured ink will then move towards the expanded part of the tube.
My dd's answer :
bi) It would move towards the flask with white surface.
ii) Black surface absorbs heat faster, so the gas inside the black surface flask will gain heat faster and expand. As gas expands more than solid, the ink will move towards the flask with white surface.

Thanks Tianzhu. This really chim for P6. How to tell its elastic colision and not inelastic collision since it's not mentioned in question.

Hi Chrisu

Good Afternoon.

Here’s another site which may help.

Read the paragraph on “Elastic Collisions” (scroll down to the second paragraph).

I think it offers a good explanation for our kids.

Best wishes

Hi

The WS’s answer is correct.

In primary science, students learned that adding batteries in series (up to a certain point) increase the brightness of a bulb.

There is no way we can tell whether the bulb in circuit P would last longer than the bulbs in circuit Q. It may or may not be.

Let’s take an example; if you buy a new bulb for your house, sometimes this new bulb may fail first when compared to the older bulbs in the house. Of course, it may also last longer.

Best wishes

Hi

The key point to consider is \"after a while\".We can have different opinion on how long is \"after a while\".

The flask will expand first before the air inside it as heat reaches the flask first.

The first observation is the ink moving towards the flask with the black surface.
