2P4 Exam Hints June 2008

Chemistry

  1. Indicators, we looked at three of them, what are they and what are their colours in acid, water and base?
  2. Difference between a physical and a chemical change, with examples
  3. Using your periodic table can you fine the atomic number of an element, try iron for example.
  4. How can you change the rate of a chemical reaction? There are four different ways. Can you state an example of each?
  5. Do you know the main chemical families? and elements of each?
  6. There are five different kinds of chemical reactions. What are they? what are some of their properties?
  7. We did several chemical reactions. These are examples of the five reaction types. You should look in your notes for these reactions.
  8. What element reacts with water?, what elements burn? what are the halogens?
  9. Know examples of acids and bases.
  10. What is the pH scale? what do the numbers 1 to 14 mean?
  11. A question will ask you to name compound from formula and write the name given the formula
    Example: Name: a)ZnBr2 and b) CaSO4
    Example: Write the formula for: potassium hydroxide, and iron (II) chloride

Motion; Physics

  1. What is speed, can you define it? what are the units of speed?
  2. Make sure you know what velocity, displacement and acceleration are.
  3. What is a vector? Draw an example, hence you need a ruler and a protractor.
  4. Can you draw a distance time graph and find its slope? What is slope?
  5. You must be able to work with the speed, distance, time formula, so write it down and
    then write v = _______, d = ________ and t =___________.
  6. Given two vectors you must be able to add them together;
    example d1 = 4.5 cm [W] to d2 3.0 cm [N30oE]
  7. Know what acceleration is and its formula
  8. Be able to read values off a graph

Ecology

  1. Know these terms: abiotic, biotic, prey, parisite, herbivore, food web, food chain, carnivore, producer, consumer, omnivore, etc. Can you give examples of the above, where applicable?
  2. Can you construct a food chain? What's at the bottom and what's at the top?
  3. Know what trophic levels are.
  4. Know the breakdown of a biome into its sub parts (in a diagram in your notes)
  5. What makes up a biome?
  6. What is the difference between habitat and niche?
  7. What do you know about the beaver?
  8. what do decomposers do in the enevironment? Why are they important?
  9. Canadian biomes; can you list them? do you know where they are? can you locate them on a map?
  10. What does the carbon cycle represent? How does carbon get from the air into a producer then a consumer?
  11. Make sure you can construct a food web give a list of species.

Weather

  1. Make sure you know the weather map symbols
  2. Reading a weather map
  3. How do pressure gradient effect wind patterns
  4. Know your instruments used in mesuring weather variables
  5. What is the difference between local wind effects and gobal winds.
  6. There is three main wind cells; what are they and where are they located.
  7. What are the state changes
  8. Dew point, humidity, reading the psychometer
  9. The three types of heat transfer
  10. Cloud types and the type of weather they produce or indicate
    Be able to identify a cloud picture
  11. There are four different types of fronts, know their names, symbols and type of weather that they produce
  12. Diffence between climate and weather
