Sample Year 7 Science questions

These sample questions are visible on the page before login. They show Year 7 classification, ecosystems, mixtures, Earth-Sun-Moon systems, forces, and inquiry graphs before opening the demo.

Year 7 Science Classification hard classification key

1. A dichotomous key first separates animals with feathers from animals without feathers, then separates animals with fur from animals without fur. Which observation would place an animal in the bird group?

Simple classification key feathers fur bird
Choices
  • It has feathers and no fur.
  • It has fur and gives birth to live young.
  • It has no feathers and no fur.
  • It has six legs and antennae.
Explanation:

The first branch uses feathers. An animal with feathers follows the bird branch, while fur is used on a different branch for mammals.

Year 7 Science Ecosystems hard food web

2. The food web shows grasshoppers eaten by frogs, and frogs eaten by snakes. If the grasshopper population falls sharply, what is the most likely direct effect on frogs?

Grassland food web grass frog snake
Choices
  • Frogs would likely decrease because they have less food.
  • Frogs would increase because snakes eat them.
  • Grass would disappear first.
  • Snakes would become producers.
Explanation:

Arrows show grasshoppers provide food for frogs. If grasshoppers decrease, frogs have less available food, so the frog population is likely to decrease.

Year 7 Science Particle model and mixtures hard separation diagram

3. A mixture contains sand and salt water. Which first step best separates the insoluble sand from the salt solution?

Filtering sand from salt water sand salt water filter
Choices
  • Filter the mixture.
  • Use a magnet on the salt.
  • Freeze the mixture and keep the ice only.
  • Shake the mixture harder.
Explanation:

Sand is insoluble, so filtration traps the sand while the salt solution passes through. Evaporation could later separate the dissolved salt from water.

Year 7 Science Earth, Sun and Moon systems hard Earth-Sun-Moon diagram

4. The diagram shows the Moon between Earth and the Sun. Which phase is observed from Earth when the lit side mostly faces away from us?

Moon between Earth and Sun Sun Earth Moon
Choices
  • New Moon
  • Full Moon
  • First quarter
  • Lunar eclipse every night
Explanation:

When the Moon is between Earth and the Sun, the sunlit half mostly faces away from Earth, so the phase seen from Earth is New Moon.

Year 7 Science Forces and motion hard force diagram

5. A box has an 8 N push to the right and an 8 N push to the left. What is the net force on the box?

Balanced forces on a box 8 N 8 N net
Choices
  • 0 N because the forces are balanced.
  • 16 N to the right
  • 8 N to the left
  • 64 N because the forces multiply
Explanation:

Equal forces in opposite directions cancel. The net force is 0 N, so the forces are balanced.

Year 7 Science Science inquiry hard inquiry graph

6. Students measured plant height after growing seedlings with 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours of light each day. Which light time produced the tallest plants in the graph?

Light time and plant height 2 h 6 h height 5 15
Choices
  • 6 hours
  • 2 hours
  • 4 hours
  • 8 hours
Explanation:

The tallest bar is at 6 hours. The 8-hour bar is lower, so this dataset does not support the idea that more light always gave taller plants.

For parents comparing Year 7 Science support

Year 7 science practice should help students connect new secondary science ideas to visible evidence: classification keys, food webs, particle models, Moon phases, force arrows, and simple inquiry graphs. These examples preview that visual reasoning before the no-login Year 7 Science demo.
