Cambridge Progression Test Stage 3 Science 2024 Paper 1

1. Life Processes and Living Things: Chicken life cycle (egg → hatchling → chick → adult); features of birds (feathers, eggs); classification of objects (living, once alive, never alive); life processes include growth, movement, reproduction.
2. Materials and Separation Techniques: Liquids flow, take shape of container; magnetic materials (e.g. iron, steel); mixtures separated by sieving, filtering, magnets; salt dissolves, sand doesn’t.
3. Space and Gravity: Moon is spherical, takes \\\\~28 days to orbit Earth; moon phases (crescent, full); gravity pulls objects down; standard force units enable fair testing.
4. Light and Shadows: Light travels in straight lines; shadows grow larger as object gets closer; light blocked by opaque objects (e.g. toys); rulers measure shadow size.
5. Plants and Water Transport: Water moves up stem to leaves; more leaves = more water movement; investigation shows upward travel; added sugar increases water mass.
6. Scientific Enquiry and Tools: Types of enquiry: research, fair testing; tools: ruler, tweezers, magnets; interpreting results, spotting patterns, making predictions.
