Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Grade 6 Science and Technology Mid Term 2 2025 Exam with Marking Scheme. The PDF version is also available upon your request. The marking scheme is in a different document.

  The exam paper consists of 14 questions. The written questions are marked out of a total of 30 marks. The assessment structure also indicates a separate project component worth 25 marks, though details of the project are not in this question paper.

  Topics covered in the written exam:

  • Living Things
    • Plant Systems: Explaining the effect of bark removal on trees and identifying types of plant roots from images.
    • Classification of Animals: Identifying the group of a given invertebrate and stating a differentiating characteristic between two groups of invertebrates based on images.
    • Human Circulatory System: Identifying compatible blood donor groups for a patient with blood group B negative. Identifying an artery from a diagram and providing a reason for the identification.
    • Human Growth and Development: Identifying one physical change unique to boys and one unique to girls during adolescence.
  • Environment
    • Water Conservation: Stating reasons for specific water conservation methods shown in pictures (e.g., rainwater harvesting) and matching different water conservation practices (recycling, reusing, reducing water use like drip irrigation) to their correct descriptions.
  • Interacting with Computing Devices
    • Spreadsheets: Writing a formula to calculate a total score in a spreadsheet and arranging the steps for saving a spreadsheet document in the correct order.
  • Matter
    • Properties of Air: Explaining observations from an experiment demonstrating that a component of air is used during burning (e.g., why a candle stops burning, changes in water level in a gas jar). Stating the approximate percentage of air that supports burning.
    • Effects of Temperature on Matter: Explaining the change in the size of an air-filled balloon when moved from a cold to a hot environment.
  • Force and Energy
    • Forces: Identifying the force responsible for the flow of water in a river (gravity) and describing how this force acts on objects.
    • Sound Energy: Stating a measure to protect against the effects of loud noise.
    • Heat Transfer: Matching the modes of heat transfer (conduction, convection, radiation) to representations in a diagram (e.g., heating water in a pot).
