Syllabus by topic
How science works as a process; the variety of plants and animals and how to classify them; nutrients in food and their roles in health; characteristics that distinguish living from non-living things; and the importance of biodiversity.
Properties of solid, liquid, and gaseous materials; separating mixtures using filtration, evaporation, and sieving; reading a thermometer and understanding temperature scales; the water cycle and how water changes state.
SI units of measurement and how to measure length accurately; properties and uses of magnets including poles, fields, and the compass; an introduction to the solar system, planets, and space exploration.
Lab-to-test bridge
Biology recall and physical-science reasoning need different practice styles — work through one strand at a time instead of mixing both in a single sitting.
Step 1
Generate 10 questions on diversity in living organisms, nutrients, and characteristics of living vs non-living things.
Step 2
Create MCQs on materials properties, states of matter, separation methods, and temperature measurement.
Step 3
Ask for a mixed drill on magnets, SI units, measurement of length, and the solar system.
