5. 2. Fill in the missing words using the word bank below:
Sexual reproduction is when the and the
sex cells of two parents are
needed to make offspring. Some living things, such as
, contain both the males and female sex cells.
This is called reproduction.
plants asexual female male different
3. Write numbers to order the events as they happen when
mammals reproduce:
The fertilised cell divides into different cells and will
form a baby.
A baby is born.
The baby grows inside the female until the end of the
gestation period.
The male sex cell, called the sperm, fertilises the
female sex cell.

6. 4. True or false?
Most plants cannot fertilise themselves.
The male sex cell in a plant is called the ovules.
The female sex cell in a plant is called pollen.
Pollen can travel from one plant to another via
wind, insects or animals.
5. Draw arrows to show how the pollen from the bee travels to
the ovule.

7. Forces
1. What force pulls objects toward the Earth?
2. Who is this and how is he believed to
have developed the theory of gravity?
3. Fill in the missing words using the word bank below:
The Moon has a mass than Earth so the
pull on the Moon is smaller than it is
on Earth. Jupiter has a mass than Earth so the
gravitation pull on Jupiter is stronger than on .
greater gravitational smaller Earth

streamlined to minimise the effects of air or water
resistance.
6. Name a mechanism that can be used to make a small force
lift a lighter load.

15. Properties and Changes
of Materials
1. Name two everyday objects for each of the following
properties:
Hard Soluble Transparent
Electrical Thermal Magnetic
Conductor Insulator
2. Fill in the missing words using the word bank
below to help:
A is made when solid particles are mixed
with liquid particles. Materials that will dissolve are known as
. Materials that won’t dissolve are known as
.
solution insoluble soluble

16. 3. True or false?
Once a solid has been dissolved, it can never
be reversed.
When an irreversible change occurs, a new
material is made.
The smaller the particles, the quicker a solid
will dissolve.
A soluble will dissolve faster in colder liquid.
4. Label the diagrams below with the name of each process
used to separate mixtures:
