A Different Academic Science 10 Exam Review
Topics by question type, section of the exam
Unit
Part A – Knowledge and Understanding
Chemistry
- periodic table (groups, periods)
- atom diagrams (Bohr-Rutherford and Lewis Dot)
- ions (cations and anions)
- acids and bases and neutralization reactions
- other types of reactions (s, sd, d, dd)
- law of conservation of mass
- household acids and bases
- strength of acids and bases (pH)
Biology
- three points of the Cell Theory
- cell organelles and their functions
- tissue types in plants and animals
- function of the major organs of the respiratory,
digestive and circulatory system
- diffusion
- comparison between earthworm and human in
terms of respiratory, digestive and circulatory
systems
Physics
Key terms: luminous, incandescent, etc…
-various methods of light production (i.e.
chemiluminescent, fluorescent…)
- terms associated with mirrors, lenses, ray diagrams,
images, refraction, reflection, critical angle, total
internal reflection
-electromagnetic radiation
-Applications such as – mirage, apparent depth, eye
glasses
-Spheres – bio, litho, hydro, atmosphere
- electromagnetic spectrum (uv, infra, visible)
-heat transfer (conduction, convection, radiation)
-sinks and sources (carbon and heat)
- water vs. land vs. air with heat transfer and climate
-anthropogenic vs. natural sources of greenhouse
gases
Climate
Part B – Problem Solving (Thinking)
-Naming simple compounds and their
formulas
- Show the creation of a molecule from
Lewis Dot diagrams (Both Ionic and
Covalent)
- Predicting the products in simple
reactions
- balancing chemical equations
- from word equations to balanced
chemical equations
- size estimation from a biological
drawing
- recognition of the phases of mitosis and
explaining what is happening in each
phase
- explaining how a cell or tissue is
adapted to perform a particular function
(i.e. onion epithelial tissue is arranged
like “bricks” to protect and support the
inner onion cells)
-Mirror and magnification equations
-Index of refraction problem
-ray diagrams (plane, and both curved
mirrors, convex lens only)
- Thin lens equation problems
- Heat Problems (Q=mc∆T)
- Humidity Problems (relative humidity
and dew point)
- plotting and interpreting graphs
(climographs, CO2 levels, humidity)
- explaining the results from the albedo
lab (White Can vs. Dark Can)
-explain the greenhouse effect and its
causes
Part C – Application Questions examine the big ideas, trying to test your understanding of the material in
new contexts.
Biology - Plants and animals, including humans, are made of specialized cells, tissues, and organs
that are organized into systems. Developments in medicine and medical technology can have social and
ethical implications.
Chemistry- Chemicals react with each other in predictable ways. Chemical reactions may have a negative
impact on the environment, but they can also be used to address environmental challenges.
Earth and Space Science- Earth’s climate is dynamic and is the result of interacting systems and processes.
Global climate change is influenced by both natural and human factors. Climate change affects living
things and natural systems in a variety of ways. People have the responsibility to assess their impact on
climate change and to identify effective courses of action to reduce this impact.
Physics - Light has characteristics and properties that can be manipulated with mirrors and lenses for a
range of uses. Society has benefited from the development of a range of optical devices and technologies.
