Q.1 Q.2 Q.3 Q.4 Q.5 Q.6 Q.7 Q.8 Q.9 Q.10

Q.1

A group of scientists is studying the effects of climate change on a mountain grassland ecosystem. They observe that the average temperature in the region has increased over the past few decades, and that the timing of plant flowering has shifted earlier in the spring. How might these changes impact the interactions between plants and pollinators in this ecosystem?

Q.2

In a coastal city, students investigated the impact of nutrient runoff on marine ecosystems. They discovered that agricultural practices contributed to excess nutrients reaching the ocean. How do nutrient runoff and eutrophication affect marine life?

Q.3

A group of students in a science class is conducting an experiment to demonstrate the heat-trapping properties of greenhouse gases for a school project. They want to create a compelling demonstration. Which experimental approach should they choose?

Q.4

Max was studying the Earth's atmosphere in class. He learned about a special layer that shields us from harmful solar radiation. While explaining it to his friend, Sarah, she asked, "What's the name of this protective layer?"

Q.5

A school implemented water-saving methods, reducing daily usage by 15%. If the school previously consumed 500 liters of water per day, what is the new daily consumption after applying these strategies?

Q.6

The Johnson family wants to reduce food waste at home. They usually end up throwing away a considerable amount of food each week. They decide to implement changes to address this issue.
Which action would be the most effective for the Johnson family to reduce food waste at home?

Q.7

In a remote village, access to electricity is limited. The government aims to introduce affordable and clean energy sources to improve living conditions. Considering the village's geographical isolation, unreliable grid connections, and the need for sustainable solutions, which approach would be the most effective and practical for providing immediate access to clean energy?

Q.8

At a science camp, Mia learns about solar energy. She analyses data and finds that a solar panel generates an average of 1.5 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per day. If a household uses 6 kWh of electricity daily, how many solar panels would they need to cover their entire daily energy consumption?

Q.9

Sophie and her marine biology class were on a research vessel exploring marine life near the coast. Suddenly, they noticed a distressed pod of dolphins swimming amidst an oil slick that stretched for miles. Investigating further, they realised it was the result of a tanker accident, causing severe repercussions for the marine environment.

Sophie and her classmates witnessed an oil spill from a tanker that affected the surrounding ocean. How does this type of marine pollution primarily impact marine ecosystems?

Q.10

A country is considering expanding its nuclear energy capacity. Which of the following key environmental considerations they should address before making a decision?

1. Proper disposal of radioactive waste and ensuring plant safety
2. Promoting wildlife conservation in the vicinity of nuclear plants
3. Increasing water usage for cooling reactors
