Energy transfer, conservation and dissipation
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- Describe how energy can be transferred from one store to another.
- Describe how the amount of energy in each store changes as energy is transferred.
- Explain why...
Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell structure
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- Use a light microscope to make and record observations of a variety of cell types.
- Describe the common structures of eukaryotic cells and the functions of these structures. ...
Evaporation
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- Recognise that evaporation occurs in different liquids, not just water.
- Predict that evaporation will occur in liquids with a temperature that is less than or greater than that of...
Exothermic and endothermic reactions
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

- Describe how the temperature of the chemicals will change with time after an exothermic reaction. ...
Explaining evolution
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- Recall that all living organisms need energy for life processes, which is provided by cellular respiration.
- Distinguish between cellular respiration and breathing, including the...
Floating, sinking and density
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

- Describe how the mass and volume of an object affect how well it floats.
- Describe how the shape of an object affects how well it...
Food chains and food webs
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- Explain the order of organisms in a given food chain, using ideas about producers, consumers, predators and prey.
- Explain that the arrows in a food chain diagram represent...
Force, mass and acceleration
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
