Hi all,

My dd has done edgefield science paper and there are discrepancies between the answer keys and her answers. Can someone help ?

Q11 (3) but answer key is (4)
Q12 (4) but answer key is (2)
Q13 (2) but answer key is (1)
Q14 (2) but answer key is (1)
Q16 (3) but answer key is (2)

Thanks.

My son also got (4). (2) is nonsensical.

:thankyou: vidhyalog. My dd also thinks that option (2) does not make sense.

Need help to explain for part (c) of this question :

Ans key : chemical potential engergy --> Kinetic energy + Sound energy
My dd's ans : Kinetic energy --> Heat sound + Sound energy

Hi

I think you need to begin with chemical energy.

Assuming the ball is given a push with the arm of a pupil.

The potential energy from the food consumed is transferred to the arm, as the arm moves it has kinetic energy. The arm then transfers the kinetic energy to the ball. As the ball rolls, part of the KE is converted to heat and sound energy.

Chemical Potential Energy ------ KE + either Heat or Sound.

Best wishes

I think it is 2, because when the plants convert the liquid into gas, it will help with evaporation so that the water cycle can continue

Hi adante,


My son got the same asnwers as your dd except question 14 - for which his answer is (1). (the answer key we have showed answer as (3))

Besides these - there were also discrepancies in the following:

No3 - His answer (1) - answer key (2)
5. His answer (4 ) answer key (2) - which does not make sense at all.

Did your dd get these answers for 3 and 5.

Hi vidhyalog,
my dd's answers for Q3 is (2) same as the answer key as it is the female reproductive cell in plants.

As for Q5, initially, she also chose (4) ... i.e. photosynthesis and stored as food. but that does not seem to affect the environment so she chose (2) as she thought it may have something to do with the humidity. Actually, I agree with you on the option (4) but I am not sure how it affects the environment of a habitat.

for Q3 - my son reasoned that the female reproductive cell should be the egg - and this cell is housed in the ovule. I will try and post the Q on KSP to see what other parents say.

This Q is from RGPS Q21 Prelim 2011.

The answer key says 1 (C only) as the answer. Could someone confirm this and explain why? :please:
