Fascinating Fact:

Plants make their own food using photosynthesis, using light, carbon dioxide, and water. Oxygen is released as a useful “extra”.

In KS3 Science, students learn core ideas that link Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, and practise using evidence and scientific vocabulary. A gap-finder quiz helps you identify which foundations need work, from cells and particles to forces and reactions.

  • Atom: The tiny building block of an element, too small to see, that makes up all substances.
  • Force: A push or pull that can change an object’s motion, direction, or shape.
  • Acid: A substance with a low pH that can react with alkalis and some metals.
What should I revise first for a KS3 science gap finder quiz?

Revise the basics that appear in lots of topics, including cells and organisation, atoms and elements, simple reactions and pH, and forces and motion.

How do I remember the difference between atoms, elements, and compounds?

An atom is one particle, an element is made of one type of atom, and a compound is made when two or more different elements join together chemically.

What is the safest way to work with acids and alkalis in KS3 science?

Wear eye protection, use small amounts, avoid splashes, follow instructions carefully, and wash hands afterwards, because acids and alkalis can irritate skin and eyes.

1 .
Which of the following is NOT present in an animal cell?
Cell membrane
Cell wall
Cytoplasm
Nucleus
A cell wall is made from cellulose.
2 .
What is listed in the Periodic Table?
Only compounds
Only elements
Only gases
Only metals
An element was defined by the famous scientist Robert Boyle in 1661. The ancient Greeks thought there were four elements - fire, earth, air and water. Nowadays, we know that not a single one of those is actually an element. Fire is something burning, earth and air are mixtures and water is a compound. Believe it or not, there are still some people who believe in the ancient Greek ideas of the elements!
3 .
Which of the following is NOT a force?
Gravity
Pull
Mass
Weight
Mass is measured in grams, kilograms etc.
4 .
Which of the following is NOT an enzyme?
Carbohydrase
Lipase
Protease
Bile
Enzymes break down large molecules.
5 .
Which of the following pH numbers indicates a neutral substance?
1
5
7
14
Pure water has this pH value.
6 .
Which is the MAIN energy transfer taking place when a candle burns?
Chemical → light
Chemical → sound
Light → chemical
Thermal → chemical
Thermal (heat) energy is also produced.
7 .
Fertilisation of an egg occurs in:
the ovary
the oviduct
the uterus
the vagina
The oviduct is also called the fallopian tube.
8 .
Which of these statements about solids is true?
They can be compressed easily
They have no definite volume
They take the shape of their container
They do not flow
The particles are fixed in place so the shape of a solid object does not change unless something is done to it e.g. it is hit with a hammer.
9 .
In order to measure the current flowing through a bulb in a circuit, the ammeter is connected in:
Not connected in the circuit
parallel with the battery
parallel with the bulb
series with the bulb
It measures the amount of electricity flowing through the circuit or component and therefore needs to be in the circuit rather than being in parallel with it.
10 .
Which one of the following shows continuous variation?
Height
Blood group
Gender
Tongue rolling
The tallest recorded person was 272 cm tall and the shortest 56 cm tall.
