Class 6 Science Chapter 102: Practice Paper · Annual

Three hours, eighty marks, twelve chapters

This paper reaches across the whole book, from the scientific method to the planets. Most of it comes from the second half, because the half-yearly already examined the first.

Revise by testing yourself

Do not reread twelve chapters. Read your key points and mind maps, then close the book and try to say them back. Recalling fixes a thing in memory; rereading only feels as though it does.

Part A is twenty quick marks

Twenty questions of one mark. About half a minute each.

Part B wants two points

Twelve questions of two marks. Make two separate points, because one mark usually sits on each.

Part C wants three

Six questions of three marks. Three things, counted before you write.

Part D is the experiment

Six marks in four parts, worth one, one, two and two. Read it twice.

Part E is the long answer

Two questions of six marks. Plan each in the margin first.

Always write the unit

A number alone says nothing. Thirty-seven is not a temperature; 37 degrees Celsius is. Write the unit every time.

If it asks for a fair test

Say what you would keep the same, what one thing you would change, and what you would measure. Marks sit on all three.

Keep fifteen minutes back

Stop a quarter of an hour early. Check nothing is blank, that every measurement has a unit, and that Part C really has three points.

About this paper

This paper follows the pattern most schools use for an annual test. It is not a board paper. Class 6 has no board exam.
